Frequently Asked Questions - Nunex

About Nunex

Nunex is a Portuguese brand of hygiene products for babies and children. We develop and manufacture diapers, wet wipes and underpads in Portugal, with a commitment to offering quality, safety and comfort from day one. All our production is carried out in-house, allowing us to ensure strict quality control.

Our mission is to continuously improve the lives of all mothers, fathers and babies, working hard to develop products that ensure comfort, peace of mind and well-being, because we know that babies can feel the difference. In addition, we believe that the best quality does not have to mean the highest price, so we strive to offer the market a diverse range of high-quality products at a fair price. We are recognised and certified for our rigorous quality management of our products.

Diapers

Yes. Our diapers are tested to provide up to 12 hours of protection. The latest-generation absorbent core keeps moisture away from the baby's skin, preventing leaks and irritation during sleep.

The main difference between the two ranges lies in their protection focus: Dropline focuses on absorption technology for long periods, while Nature focuses on sustainability.

Nunex Dropline is our high-performance diaper. Thanks to its patented rapid absorption channel and anatomical design, it provides 12 hours of dryness, making it the ideal choice for ensuring a good night's sleep and maximum moisture retention during periods of greater movement.

Nunex Nature is our more eco-friendly option. It stands out for incorporating raw materials of natural and biodegradable origin, such as PLA (derived from corn starch), which reduces the environmental impact associated with product disposal. It is the right choice for those who prioritise sustainable materials and more natural contact with the skin.

Both ranges are completely free from fragrances, latex and parabens.

We prioritise neutrality. Our diapers do not contain fragrances or lotions that could interfere with the skin's natural pH or cause allergic reactions. Nunex's focus is to keep the skin barrier dry through breathable materials, rather than through the application of external chemical agents.

Yes. All Nunex products undergo rigorous testing in independent laboratories. These tests confirm the high skin tolerance of the materials and ensure that the diapers are safe for direct contact with babies' sensitive skin, preventing the risk of allergies and irritation.

Wet Wipes

Nunex Sensitive and Nunex Nature Wet Wipes, unlike most wet wipes on the market, are produced 100% without plastics or synthetic fibres. They are made exclusively from fibres of natural origin that disintegrate in water.

Because they are biodegradable and made from natural materials: They can be flushed down the toilet: As they break down in water, they can be disposed of this way (we only recommend not flushing more than two at a time to ensure the proper functioning of the plumbing).

They have a lower environmental impact: They decompose naturally in much less time than wet wipes containing plastic, which can take hundreds of years to disappear. They are safer: The absence of plastics and synthetic chemicals makes them much gentler and suitable for sensitive baby skin, especially the Nature range, which is made up of 99% water.

Nunex Basic Wet Wipes, on the other hand, contain plastic in their composition.

Only wet wipes that indicate on the packaging that they are biodegradable can be flushed down the toilet, as they are made from cellulose fibres that break down in water. All others should be disposed of in the general waste to prevent blockages in the plumbing. Both our Sensitive and Nature wet wipes are made with these natural materials and do not contain plastic, so they can be flushed down the toilet. To ensure that your home's sewage system works properly, we recommend not flushing more than two wet wipes at a time with each flush.

None of the ranges contain alcohol or parabens. Nature is completely fragrance-free (99% water), Sensitive uses 98.5% naturally derived ingredients to nourish the skin, and Basic (98.8% natural) uses Chamomile Water and inulin for soothing care without synthetic chemicals.
