Washcloths

What Are Washcloths/Wipes used for in Medicine?

Contrary to popular belief, wash cloths and wipes serve many different purposes in medicine other than your standard washing/cleaning up. This can be especially true when for different needs, which is why there are a variety of different versions of wipes for what seems to be such a straightforward product.

Types of Washcloths/Wipes

There are many different types of cloths and wipes, all with their own special properties. Unscented adult/baby wipes are very common for people with different skin, while wipes with fragrances can be used for people who find it especially challenging to hide a natural stench. Types of clothes and wipes include:

  • Adult Wipes
  • Wet Wipes
  • Dry Wipes
  • Scented Wipes
  • Unscented Wipes
  • Disposable Wipes

Disposable/Flushable wipes can be thrown directly into the toilet and flushed, unlike many of their similar counterparts. This means no additional disposal method, and makes it a very popular option for both adults and babies.
