Wet Ones Antibacterial Hand Wipes

Wet Ones is a pioneering brand in the personal hygiene sector, best known for creating portable, pre-moistened antibacterial hand wipes. The brand was originally launched in the United States during the early 1970s, specifically in 1972, providing a convenient solution for on-the-go sanitation before the widespread popularity of liquid hand sanitizers.

Starting as a product developed by Lehn & Fink, the brand traveled through several corporate hands, including Sterling Drug and the pharmaceutical giant Playtex. It eventually became part of the Energizer Holdings portfolio until the company spun off its personal care division. Today, the brand is a flagship of Edgewell Personal Care.

Manufacturing for Wet Ones is primarily based in the United States, utilizing facilities managed by its parent company. The product line has expanded from simple moist towelettes to various scents and antibacterial formulas that are widely available in retail markets across North America and select international regions.
