Frequently Asked Questions

Ocean Healthcare Flushable Wipes are specifically designed to be safely flushed after use, having been clinically tested to meet flushability standards (AS/NZS 5328) so they disperse like toilet paper. Each wipe is made from 99% naturally derived fibers and contains no harsh ingredients (fragrance- and alcohol-free), making them gentle for sensitive skin while effectively cleaning. They provide a convenient, hygienic alternative to toilet paper – use one wipe as needed and flush it, confident it will break down in normal sewer systems without causing clogs when used as directed.

Yes. These wipes are engineered to disintegrate in water, helping them travel through plumbing safely. They are certified “safe to flush” and comply with flushable product standards, meaning they begin breaking apart like toilet paper once flushed. To prevent any issues, flush only one wipe at a time using a full toilet flush. (It’s best to avoid flushing them in septic tanks or macerator toilets, as any wipes could still pose a risk in those systems.) Used correctly in standard household or facility toilets, Ocean Healthcare Flushable Wipes shouldn’t clog pipes or drains.

Ocean Healthcare Adult Wipes are large, ultra-soft disposable cloths designed for convenient full-body cleaning without water. They’re often used for adult caregiving – for example, to hygienically clean individuals with incontinence, to freshen up bedridden or post-surgery patients, or for anyone who needs a quick cleanse when bathing isn’t possible. These wipes are gentle on fragile or sensitive skin, infused with soothing aloe vera and free from parabens and alcohol, making them safe for daily use. Ideal for aged care, hospitals or home care, they provide a quick, dignified way to clean up and stay fresh between showers.

No. Ocean Healthcare Adult Wipes are not flushable and should be disposed of in a waste bin after use. These body wipes are thicker and formulated for external cleansing (to replace a soap-and-water bath), so flushing them could clog toilets or pipes. Always throw used adult wipes in the garbage. (For a flushable option, use Ocean Healthcare’s Flushable Wipes, which are made to break down safely in toilets.)

Ocean Healthcare Bed Bath Wipes are a complete waterless bathing solution for individuals who can’t shower – for example, those confined to bed or with limited mobility. Each pack contains 8 thick, soft wipes pre-moistened with a gentle cleansing formula (with aloe vera and no alcohol), so you can clean each part of the body effectively with no soap, no rinsing and no towels needed. Caregivers can even warm the unopened pack in a microwave for a comforting warm sponge-bath experience right in bed. These disposable wipes leave the skin clean, moisturised and refreshed without irritation, making it easier to maintain hygiene in hospitals or home care settings. It’s a dignified, time-saving way to bathe someone who is bedridden, ideal for aged-care facilities or home caregivers.


These sickness bags have built-in features to securely contain contents and smells. Each bag has a wide, rigid plastic opening at the top, making it easy to use quickly during an emergency. After use, you simply twist and lock the bag’s special sealing ring closed – this lockable seal ensures nothing leaks out and traps all odours inside. The bag material is durable and leak-resistant as well, so once sealed, the vomit and smell stay completely contained. This design means you can use a sickness bag, seal it immediately, and dispose of it when convenient, without any spills or lingering odour in the meantime.

Yes. Ocean Healthcare Bed Bath Wipes are microwaveable – you can gently heat the sealed pack in the microwave to provide warm, soothing wipes for bathing. A warm wipe can be more comfortable for patients (it creates a cozy, towel-like feeling during a bed bath). Conversely, you can also chill the wipes (for instance, by placing the pack in the fridge briefly) if a cool, refreshing wipe is preferred — using them cold can help calm feverish or overheated skin. Whether used warm, cold, or at room temperature, the wipes remain safe and effective, so you can choose whatever keeps the person most comfortable.

Ocean Healthcare Sickness Bags are disposable emesis (vomit) bags designed to catch nausea-related mess in a clean, secure way. They’re useful for anyone prone to sudden nausea or vomiting: people suffering motion sickness on car, boat or plane trips, pregnant women with morning sickness, patients feeling ill after surgery or chemotherapy, and even kids or adults during stomach flu. The bags are compact and portable (small enough for a handbag, glove box, or first-aid kit), so travelers, caregivers and families can always keep one nearby. In any setting – car rides, air travel, hospitals, aged care, or at home – these sickness bags provide peace of mind that you can quickly contain vomit hygienically, avoiding mess or embarrassment.
