Expandable dry body wipes / flannels for waterless washing

Description

Nilaqua Expandable Wipes Tabley (Pack of 9) are compact, tablet-shaped, compressed cloths designed for convenient personal washing when access to water or traditional bathing facilities is limited. Each wipe starts as a small compressed pellet and, when liquid is added (plain water or Nilaqua waterless body wash), it quickly expands and unrolls into a soft, full-size flannel suitable for washing the body. Lightweight, portable and made from natural viscose material, these wipes are ideal for camping, travel, hospital stays, carers, and on-the-go hygiene, allowing users to stay clean and fresh wherever they are.

Bnefits

  • Wipes expand significantly when liquid is added, transforming from a compact pellet into a full-size flannel for effective washing.
  • Can be used with either Nilaqua waterless body wash for a no-rinse soapy flannel or with plain water for general washing and cleaning.
  • Highly compact and lightweight, making them ideal for travel, hospital stays, emergencies, festivals and camping.
  • Tablet-shaped, individually compressed wipes are easy to store in bags, pockets or bedside cabinets without taking up space.
  • Expanded wipe provides a generous flannel-sized cloth (approximately 23 cm x 25 cm) suitable for washing larger body areas.
  • Made from natural viscose fibres derived from wood and cotton, described as safe, soft and non-toxic.
  • Single-use design reduces cross-contamination risk compared with re-used flannels or cloths in care environments.
  • Simple and intuitive to use: apply liquid, unravel, wipe, and discard after use.
  • Versatile – suitable for personal hygiene, hand and face washing, body cleansing, and light general cleaning tasks while travelling.
  • No added lotions or preservatives in the wipe itself, allowing users to choose their preferred washing solution or to use plain water.

Indications

  • On-the-go personal hygiene during travel, holidays, festivals and day trips.
  • Patient and carer use in hospitals, care homes or at home when access to showers/baths is limited.
  • Camping, hiking, caravanning and outdoor activities where water supply or washing facilities may be restricted.
  • Bed-bound or low-mobility individuals who require assisted washing in bed or chair.
  • Situations requiring compact, disposable washcloths for cleaning hands, face or body in the absence of traditional flannels.
  • Use alongside Nilaqua waterless body wash to provide a complete towel-off bathing system without the need for rinsing.

Composition

  • Primary wipe material: viscose nonwoven (cellulosic fibre made from a mixture of wood pulp and cotton-derived material).
  • No pre-applied lotion, soap, alcohol, preservatives or fragrances – the wipes are supplied dry and are activated with user-supplied liquid.
  • Compressed tablet form achieved mechanically; no additional active disinfectant ingredients incorporated into the wipe itself.
  • Packaging materials: plastic/foil or similar wrapper and printed card insert or label, as per retail pack design.

Formulation

  • Dry, compressed nonwoven viscose wipe supplied as a small tablet/pellet.
  • Designed to rapidly expand and unroll on contact with added liquid (water or body wash).
  • Soft, absorbent fabric when expanded, providing flannel-like feel suitable for skin contact.
  • Free from added skincare chemicals (the wipe itself does not contain soaps, alcohol, or added moisturisers; these come from the chosen washing liquid).
  • Single-use disposable product intended for external use only.
  • Compatible with most liquid cleansers, including Nilaqua Towel Off body wash and other gentle body washes.

Packaging

  • Retail pack containing 9 compressed wipes (tablets).
  • Each wipe compressed to approximately 2 cm x 1 cm (tablet form), as described on related expandable wipe listings; pack text also references approximate compressed footprint 2 cm x 10 cm.
  • Expanded wipe size approximately 23 cm x 25 cm (around 9.1 x 9.8 inches), comparable to a standard wash flannel.
  • Supplied in a small, easy-to-carry retail pack suitable for travel bags, hospital bags or car glove compartments.
  • Outer packaging printed with product name, quantity (Pack of 9), usage description, dimensions and brand information.
  • Sold through medical and mobility retailers, often classified under body wipes or waterless washing accessories.

Usage

  • Remove one compressed wipe from the pack.
  • Place the tablet-shaped wipe in the palm of your hand, on a clean surface, or in a small container.
  • Apply a small amount of liquid directly onto the wipe – this can be Nilaqua waterless body wash or plain water, depending on your preference and situation.
  • Allow the wipe to absorb the liquid; it will begin to expand and soften.
  • Unravel or unfold the wipe fully to reveal the expanded flannel-sized cloth.
  • Use the expanded wipe to wash the desired areas of the body (hands, face, body, etc.).
  • If using a waterless body wash, follow the instructions for towel-off bathing (massage and then dry off with a separate towel as required).
  • Once washing is complete, discard the used wipe in an appropriate waste container; do not flush down toilets unless packaging specifically states flushability.
  • Use additional wipes as necessary for larger areas or heavier soiling.
  • Dispose of packaging according to local recycling and waste guidelines.

Contraindications

  • Do not use on individuals known to be hypersensitive or allergic to viscose or any component of the wipe material.
  • Not intended for use on deep, open or heavily bleeding wounds; use appropriate sterile dressings and follow medical advice instead.
  • For external use only; do not ingest.
  • Use with caution on very fragile or severely compromised skin; consult a healthcare professional if unsure.
  • Keep out of reach of small children to avoid choking hazard from compressed tablets.

Adverse Effects

  • Generally well tolerated; wipes are made from soft, natural viscose fibres.
  • In rare cases, mild skin irritation or redness may occur, particularly in individuals with very sensitive skin or contact allergies to cellulose-based materials.
  • If any itching, redness, rash or discomfort occurs, discontinue use and rinse the area with clean water; seek medical advice if symptoms persist.
  • Accidental ingestion of the compressed wipe may present a choking risk and could cause gastrointestinal discomfort; seek urgent medical attention if swallowed.

Storage Conditions

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture to prevent premature expansion of the wipes.
  • Keep the pack sealed until use to protect wipes from dirt, dust and humidity.
  • Avoid direct sunlight and high temperatures which may degrade packaging or the wipes over time.
  • Do not expose the pack to liquids until you are ready to use a wipe.
  • Keep out of the reach and sight of children when not in use.
