So showering is getting harder and harder and I'm thinking I may need to start using wipes in bed pretty soon.

The issue is, with sensitive skin, what types of wipes should I use that won't irritate me? I'm afraid if I leave cleaning product on my skin it will be worse than just being dirty.

When I fractured my wrist, showering was difficult. I bought Wipes for Your Life on Amazon, and they were great. They are extra large wipes, which are unscented and free of irritating ingredients.

I've been using Amazon Elements unscented wipes but my niece brought her baby for a visit and she is using Costco's Kirkland Fragrance Free wipes. Mine have a slight scent which I don't like. It's like an artificial soap scent but the Kirkland kind have no scent at all that I could tell so I'm going to switch when I get low on mine.
