Feminine wipes, crafted from materials like cotton, polyester, polypropylene, and cloth, are personal hygiene products designed for women. Infused with soothing agents, these wipes offer a daily solution for women to maintain menstrual hygiene, control odors, and prevent infections. Serving as cleansing cloths, feminine wipes are specifically utilized by women to uphold vaginal hygiene, particularly during menstruation.
Two primary types of feminine wipes exist such as ordinary and sanitary. Ordinary wipes, fashioned from materials such as cotton, wool, polyester, and occasional material blends, are suitable for everyday use. The user demographic spans various age groups, including 5-15 years, 16-30 years, 31-45 years, 46-60 years, and 61 and above. Feminine wipes are distributed through diverse channels, encompassing supermarkets, hypermarkets, convenience stores, pharmacies, drugstores, and online platforms, among other distribution channels.
Tariffs are influencing the feminine wipes market by increasing costs of imported nonwoven fabrics, cotton fibers, packaging materials, and chemical additives. Manufacturers in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported raw materials, while Asia-Pacific faces cost pressure on finished product exports. These tariffs are raising production costs and retail prices. However, they are also encouraging local sourcing of raw materials, regional manufacturing expansion, and innovation in sustainable wipe formulations.

The growing education regarding menstrual hygiene among the female population is anticipated to drive the growth of the feminine wipes market in the future. Menstrual hygiene refers to maintaining cleanliness during menstruation, which can help prevent infections in the reproductive and urinary tracts. Raising awareness about menstrual hygiene among women benefits the feminine wipes market by protecting dignity, enhancing confidence, and promoting sexual and reproductive health. For instance, in May 2024, the World Health Organization, a Switzerland-based specialized agency of the United Nations responsible for international public health, reported Worldwide, only 2 out of 5 schools (39%) provide menstrual health education. This increases in secondary schools, with 84% of secondary schools in Central and Southern Asia. Consequently, this heightened awareness of menstrual hygiene among women is expected to increase the demand for feminine wipes during the forecast period.

For example, in May 2023, Victoria's Secret, a US-based company, introduced intimate care wipes specifically formulated for maintaining hygiene in the intimate area. These wipes are generally pH-balanced, hypoallergenic, and crafted from gentle materials to ensure safety for sensitive skin. Ideal for use during menstruation, after exercise, or whenever a refreshing cleanse is desired, intimate care wipes help control odor and enhance comfort. They offer a convenient and discreet option for personal care, allowing users to feel clean and confident throughout the day. With their portable packaging, these wipes are easy to carry and use as needed, making them a favored choice in feminine hygiene.
