Face Washers and Towels

At Babies NZ, our Face Washers and Towels category includes: Face Washers: Soft, gentle cloths designed for washing your baby’s face and hands. These are typically smaller in size and made from soft, absorbent materials like cotton. Bath Towels: Larger, plush towels that are ideal for drying your baby after a bath. They often come with features like hoods for added warmth and convenience. Hooded Towels: Towels with an attached hood to keep your baby’s head warm and dry after bath time. Washcloths: Multi-purpose cloths that can be used for cleaning, wiping, and gentle exfoliation.

When selecting face washers and towels for your baby, consider: Material: Look for products made from soft, breathable fabrics such as 100% cotton, which are gentle on your baby’s delicate skin. Size: Choose face washers that are small and manageable for washing your baby’s face and hands, and opt for larger bath towels or hooded towels for drying. Absorbency: Ensure the towel or face washer is highly absorbent to effectively dry your baby’s skin and handle spills or messes. Safety: Select products that are free from harmful chemicals and dyes, and ensure they are hypoallergenic if your baby has sensitive skin.

To keep your baby’s face washers and towels clean and in good condition: Washing: Wash face washers and towels with a gentle detergent in warm water. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, which can irritate sensitive skin. Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting or air dry. Ensure towels and face washers are thoroughly dried to prevent mildew. Avoid Overuse: Rotate between several towels and face washers to ensure each has time to be properly cleaned and dried.

Hooded towels are not strictly necessary, but they offer several benefits: Warmth: The hood helps keep your baby’s head warm and dry, which is particularly useful after bath time in cooler environments. Convenience: A hooded towel makes it easier to wrap and dry your baby, reducing the need for multiple towels. Comfort: The added warmth and softness of the hooded towel can make bath time more comforting for your baby, enhancing their overall experience.

It’s a good idea to replace face washers and towels as they show signs of wear or after about 6 to 12 months of use, depending on their condition. Look for signs such as fraying, thinning, or a decrease in absorbency. Regularly replacing these items ensures your baby always has clean, soft, and effective towels and face washers, maintaining good hygiene and comfort.
