Is it okay to use wipes?

Okay so generally, it's totally fine to use wipes, especially ones made for your private parts! A lot of people find them super helpful to feel fresh and clean during their period or after going to the bathroom.

Just make sure to choose wipes that are gentle and don't have a bunch of harsh chemicals, fragrances, or alcohol in them. Those kinds of things can irritate your skin down there, and nobody wants that. Look for wipes that say "pH balanced" or "for sensitive skin" because those are usually a good bet. Also, remember to wipe from front to back to avoid spreading any bacteria around.

If you ever feel itchy, uncomfortable, or notice any irritation after using wipes, it's best to stop using them and just stick to plain water and a soft cloth. And if it doesn't go away, you can always ask a grown-up to help you figure out what's up.
