Andrex® Launches New Moist Wipes for Kids

London, United Kingdom, March 15, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Andrex®, the nation’s favorite toilet tissue, has launched Andrex® Kids – a new range of moist wipes specifically designed for use when toilet training three to six year olds. The new product has also just been awarded the 2009 Product of the Year in the kids hygiene category.

The wipes are lightly moistened, dermatologically tested and have been created in response to growing concern amongst mums that their children aren’t as clean and fresh as they could be after using the toilet.

Available throughout stores across the UK, the tubs feature a lively jungle themed adventure that will appeal to both mums and kids alike. Fun images of the Puppy are also embossed onto the sheets, each of which has a light, fresh watermelon scent.

The new wipes are ideal for mothers trying to toilet train their children and can be used to educate kids in the importance of using both a dry and moist toilet tissue together to feel fresher and cleaner as part of their daily routine. The wipes also are completely flushable breaking up like normal dry toilet tissue.

Says Chris Carter, Andrex® Kids Brand Manager, “Toilet training is a big step in a child’s development and Andrex Kids can help parents educate their children in hygiene whilst giving them a feeling of independence. Kids want something that makes them feel part of the ‘grown up’ world and the wipes also ensure parents peace of mind that their child is both clean and fresh after using the toilet.”
