Femfresh Wipes 25

What Are Femfresh Intimate Wipes?

Keeping the intimate area clean and comfortable is something many women think about every day — especially when you're on the go, at the gym, or travelling. Femfresh intimate wipes are a convenient, pH-balanced option designed specifically for the delicate external intimate area. Each pack contains 25 individually accessible wipes, making them easy to carry in a bag or keep in your desk drawer for whenever you need a quick, gentle freshen up.

The vaginal area has a naturally acidic pH, typically between 3.8 and 4.5, which helps protect against infection. Ordinary soap and body wash can disrupt this balance, which is why products formulated specifically for intimate use — like these wipes — are worth considering. If you're also exploring other aspects of your intimate health, our women's health range covers a broad selection of products to support you.

How Do Femfresh Wipes Work?

These wipes work by gently cleansing the external vulval skin without stripping away the natural moisture barrier. The formula is soap-free and contains lactic acid, which helps maintain the skin's natural acidity. Aloe vera is also included to soothe and condition the skin during cleansing.

• Soap-free formula avoids disrupting the skin's natural acid mantle
• Lactic acid helps support the naturally acidic environment of the external intimate skin
• Aloe vera provides a calming, moisturising effect on delicate tissue
• Gentle enough for daily use without causing dryness

It's worth noting that these wipes are for external use only. They should never be inserted into the vagina. The vagina is self-cleaning, and internal douching or wiping can actually increase the risk of infection by disturbing the natural bacterial balance.

Who Should Use Femfresh Wipes?

These wipes are suitable for most adult women who want a convenient way to maintain external intimate hygiene throughout the day. They're particularly useful in situations where access to water and soap isn't practical.

• Women who are active or exercise regularly and want to freshen up after a workout
• Those who travel frequently and need a portable hygiene solution
• Women experiencing light discharge who want to feel comfortable between washes
• Anyone looking for a gentle, soap-free alternative to standard body wipes for the intimate area

They are not intended for use on broken or inflamed skin. If you're experiencing unusual discharge, persistent odour, itching, or discomfort, these symptoms may indicate an underlying condition such as thrush or bacterial vaginosis, and you should speak to a pharmacist or GP rather than relying on wipes alone. You can also browse our thrush treatments if you suspect a fungal infection.

How Do Femfresh Wipes Compare to Regular Body Wipes?

Are Femfresh Wipes Suitable for Sensitive Skin?

Yes — these wipes are dermatologically tested and formulated to be gentle on sensitive skin. The absence of soap and harsh surfactants means they're less likely to cause irritation than standard wipes used in the intimate area. That said, everyone's skin is different. If you have a known sensitivity to any of the listed ingredients, check the full ingredient list before use.

Store the pack in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and always reseal after use to prevent the wipes from drying out. Femfresh intimate wipes are for single use only — never reuse a wipe, and do not flush used wipes down the toilet as they are not biodegradable in standard plumbing systems.

This product is a cosmetic hygiene product. If you have an underlying gynaecological condition or are taking other medicines, speak to your doctor or pharmacist before use.

What Are Femfresh Wipes 25 and What Are They Used For?

Femfresh Wipes 25 are pre-moistened, pH-balanced cleansing wipes designed for the external intimate area. They are used for daily feminine hygiene — particularly when washing with water isn't possible. Each wipe is lightly fragranced and formulated to be gentle on the delicate skin of the vulva. They are a cosmetic hygiene product, not a medicine, and are intended for external use only.

The NHS advises that the vagina is self-cleaning and that the external area (the vulva) should be washed with plain warm water or a mild, unperfumed soap. Femfresh wipes offer a convenient alternative to water-based cleansing when you're away from home, helping you feel fresh and comfortable throughout the day.

What Do You Need to Know Before Using Femfresh Wipes?

Before using these wipes, read the following carefully:

Do not use if:

• You are allergic to any of the listed ingredients
• The skin in the intimate area is broken, inflamed, or infected
• You have been advised by a healthcare professional to avoid scented intimate products
• You are experiencing symptoms of thrush, bacterial vaginosis, or any other vaginal infection — seek medical advice first

Warnings and precautions:

• For external use only — never insert into the vagina
• Keep out of reach of children
• Avoid contact with eyes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water
• Discontinue use immediately if irritation, redness, or itching develops
• Do not use as a substitute for medical treatment if you have a gynaecological condition
• Not suitable for use on other body areas unless stated

Known interactions:

• No known drug interactions — this is a topical cosmetic product
• Avoid using alongside other intimate products (e.g. douches, deodorant sprays) simultaneously, as this may increase the risk of skin irritation

How Should You Use Femfresh Wipes 25?

Using these wipes correctly ensures you get the best results while protecting the delicate skin of the intimate area. Follow these steps each time:

1. Open the resealable pack and remove one wipe
2. Gently wipe the external intimate area (vulva) from front to back
3. Use one wipe per cleansing occasion — do not reuse
4. Dispose of the used wipe in a bin — do not flush
5. Reseal the pack immediately to keep remaining wipes moist

If you're managing recurring intimate discomfort alongside your hygiene routine, it may be worth exploring our sexual health range for additional support products.

What Are the Possible Side Effects of Femfresh Wipes?

Femfresh wipes are generally well tolerated. However, as with any topical product applied to sensitive skin, some people may experience a reaction. Stop using the wipes and consult a pharmacist or GP if you notice any of the following.

Common side effects (may affect some users):

• Mild skin irritation or tingling on first use
• Temporary redness of the external intimate skin
• Mild dryness with very frequent use

Less common side effects (rare):

• Allergic contact dermatitis — itching, swelling, or a rash
• Burning sensation, particularly if skin is already sensitive or irritated
• Worsening of pre-existing skin conditions in the intimate area

If you experience a severe allergic reaction — including swelling of the face, lips, or throat, or difficulty breathing — seek emergency medical attention immediately.

How Should You Store Femfresh Wipes 25?

Correct storage keeps the wipes effective and hygienic throughout the pack's use:

• Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place
• Keep away from direct sunlight and heat sources
• Always reseal the pack after removing a wipe
• Keep out of reach and sight of children
• Do not use after the expiry date printed on the packaging
• Do not store in a bathroom where humidity may affect the wipes
