Bunjie Probiotic Baby Wipes — Australian-made Formula

Wipes

Nestivo’s take

An Australian-made, plant-fibre wipe that some parents like for softness and moisture. Others find it too wet, soapy or difficult to separate. Everyday skin comfort and easy dispensing matter more here than the probiotic label.

Performance — 46 / 100

Feedback after the Australian-made update is divided. Some parents still like the moisture and softness; others report a thinner or soapy-feeling wipe, excess liquid, an unwelcome smell and clumping that needs two hands. Cleaning feel and dispensing are the main reported compromises.

Confidence: Low. Many parent comments concern an earlier formula or overseas version, limiting what they tell us about the current Australian wipe.

Wipe strength / tear resistance

Update-specific reviewers report a thinner cloth, while other users still describe strength and softness. Old-formula praise is not current-cloth proof.
