Talk:Wet wipe

Untitled

This page should no longer be a candidate for speedy deletion since moist towelettes are a significant human artifact used across the globe. If you have problems with the contents or wording of this article, make modifications, but don't delete the article.

• Maybe rewrite the article - i.e. How are they made? Do they come in different scents? As it's written right now, I think it's okay to delete, but if it rewritten and becomes an encyclopedic entry, then it might be worth keeping. --Barista | a/k/a マイケル | T/C 20:27, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
  • It is worth keeping. However, it is lacking a lot of information. I looked it up to know what kind of cloths, chemicals, and processes are used to make them. This article doesn't help with that yet, but in time it should get there. Give it time, and do what you can to help. SadanYagci 05:05, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
  • when and if someone should tackle expanding this article, be sure to include (a) how invented; (b) who invented, (c) who holds patent? and (d) language about the most-important (in my household anyway) "flushable" kind.--68.173.2.68 (talk) 03:10, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Merge?

The new article Baby wipes seems to cover similar material. It might be worth merging them. Gwinva (talk) 21:30, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Agreed. TJRC (talk) 05:26, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Disagree. They serve different purposes. Toilet paper and kleenex have separate entries as should baby wipes and moist towelettes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.208.129.33 (talk) 23:56, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

I think merging is a good idea. The applications are quite close and the materials are very similar. The comparishion between toilet paper and tissue paper (Kleenex) is not good as tissue paper is much more than just toilet paper.

Oppose -- Two different items serving different purposes. --nsaum75^{¡שיחת!‎} 06:43, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Agree: Babywipes is just a special type of wetwipe and the topics are not large. Langbein Rise (talk) 12:44, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

 Done -- Also merged cleaning pad. Langbein Rise (talk) 07:20, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Environmental issues

It would improve the article if a section was added outlining the environmental impact of wet wipes, particularly the so-called 'flushable' types which consumers are encouraged to flush away like toilet paper. See Fatberg. --Ef80 (talk) 17:40, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

Alternative to toilet paper

Wet wipes as an alternative to toilet paper have been around a lot longer than 2005. I've been using them since the mid-90s at least. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 13:13, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
