"not the best"
After being used to using Huggies, these wipes were very thin and dry. They struggled to clean up dirty bums, and I mainly used them for wiping faces and hands.
The baby bath was creamy in texture which was nice, and there was a very slight perfume, but I wont be buying this products for my children because I like SLES and SLS free products. The price is a bit too high for the quality of the wipes, although the bath lotion was priced about right.

"basic range"
I tried the wipes and was not impressed, they were very thin and dry and I ended up using a lot more than the equivalent Pampers or Huggies. The wipes were ultimately used for cleaning spillages. I also tried the baby wash, it was very mild and had no fragrance. It was quite creamy and not bad for a budget buy although the packaging was very boring. All in all I will stick to the big brands as I find I am getting a good quality product for the money.

"Good basic range"
l am not normally in charge of purchases in our house but this is not our usual brand but we are open to change. The baby wipes were quite small, thin and dry, the were ok for general nappy changes but did not fair well on some of our explosive nappies!! They were frangrance free and were good for wiping hands and faces. The nursery wipes were in a handy size packet which fitted easily into the changing bag and were great for being out and about wiping highchairs and toys etc. Finally we tried the baby lotion, which was good, tried it on my skin first and it left it soft, it was easily absorbed and wasn't greasy. Overall the packaging is quite plain and basic, it could be livened up a little but the products were good value for mony and l would purchase some items from the range again.

"Ok"
I have tried out the wilkinsons brand of baby wipes and baby bath. Firstly the wipes, I found them very thin and when you pulled them from the packet they stretched out of shape, not great for a dirty nappy!! Felt I had to use more than I would with my usual brand. The packaging was fine and they were fragrance free, I wouldn't be changing from my usual brand.
Secondly the baby bath, had a pleasant smell and created good bubbles and lather, however I did feel the packaging wasn't particularly eye catching and rather dated.
Both products I would say are priced ok, however I will be staying with my existing brand.

"No-frills, good value"
I have now tried out the Wilkinson baby wipes and baby bath products. I found the wipes to be very soft and fragrance free, which is obviously better for sensitive skin. However the wipes were quite small, thin and dry. I usually use huggies wipes which are much wetter, I know not everybody likes this but I think it's so much better for wiping mucky faces and dealing with very dirty nappies. The wilkinson wipes are fine for general nappy changing and excellent value for money. The packaging looked cheap and a bit dated, not something you would necessarily want to show off in your baby bag! But wipes are wipes at the end of the day!
The baby bath was very soft and gentle and produced a good amount of bubbles. I like a little bit of fragrance in my baby's bath (lavender to help her sleep!) but this only had a very suble fragrance. However this is probably better if you baby is like mine and tries to eat the bubbles! It was quite a big bottle which again is excellent value for money.
Overall a good everyday product for Mums on a budget, I wouldn't buy the baby bath but I would buy the wipes again for use at home since I go through so many of them!

"You get what you pay for"
I’ve never really strayed from the 'big branded' baby toiletries before but I thought I would give the Wilkinson’s baby products a try. Firstly I used the wipes on my 12 month old daughter and after numerous wipes at trying to clean her messy bottom I gave up and had to use my usual wipes. The wipes are too dry to clean up any substantial messes but they are good for older children to use as hand wipes in emergencies or even to be left in the bathroom for them to use. The texture of the wipe is fairly soft and it doesn’t feel harsh on the skin and the smell is fairly pleasant too.
Secondly I tried the lotion but as my baby has very dry skin this didn’t react well with her and made her skin look quite red. I wasn’t overly keen on the smell either.
Lastly, we tried the nursery wipes, which have been quite handy. They come in a small pack which is a good size to fit inside your changing bag. We’ve used these whilst we have been out for dinner and we've needed to wipe down a dirty highchair or we've used them in changing areas. Not bad for the money!
All in all I think at the price each of these costs you do get what you've paid for them- cheap and cheerful.

I'm really cautious on products i use for both my children as they both have very sensitive skin and i usually stick to the same product, however i'm open trying new things and i got to try the wilkinson baby range wipes and body wash im one for a bargain and like wilkinson products overall so was looking forward to reviewing their products , the bodywash had a gentle aroma and creates lots of fluffy bubbles and smells fresh and clean it caused no rash or unexpected sensitive skin outbursts!was dermatologically tested and i would use this product again great value for money, the baby wipes i found quite dry not great for 'sticky bums!!!'sorry!but for a general food wipe-down these were good, the fragrance was nice, bargain for the changing bag or car!!

To continue on my voyage of discovery through Ford’s newest range I was to spend some time with the latest Kuga Titanium in its 2.0-litre diesel guise.
