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

- For external use only; do not ingest.
- Use with caution on very fragile or severely compromised skin; consult a healthcare professional if unsure.

Adverse Effects

- Accidental ingestion of the compressed wipe may present a choking risk and could cause gastrointestinal discomfort; seek urgent medical attention if swallowed.
Storage Conditions
