We can see that there are obvious impurities on them. High-quality wet wipes will not have obvious fluffing during use, while inferior wet wipes have obvious fluffing during use.

3. After taking out the wet wipes, if there is mildew on the wet wipes and mold spots have appeared, do not use this kind of wet wipes. If skin irritation is felt during the use of the wipes, it feels itchy and painful, you should immediately wash with water and stop using it to avoid greater harm.

4. Carefully check the product endorsement and select the brand of a regular manufacturer with detailed information such as the site address, service phone, health standards, enterprise standards, and relevant health department record numbers.

Many companies only try to enter the wipes market and do not promote it as a completely independent product category. At the same time, because it is not yet a necessity for people like the ordinary tissue market, it is affected by the overall market sales. , Manufacturers 'investment in promotion and consumers' awareness of it, and many other restrictions, the wipes market is still a certain distance from the true independent market. "But we must see that the spontaneous acceptance of wipes by consumers has gradually matured in the past few years. There are more companies and more people buying. The wipes market is facing a great opportunity."
