A Botanical Breakdown of Uranus Wiper, The Calmest Wipe in the Bathroom
If you have haemorrhoids, sensitive skin or a bum that has had quite enough drama for one week, the products in your bathroom matter. The last thing you need is a wipe that stings, strips or smells like a cleaning aisle. Uranus Wiper was built for the opposite feeling, calm, cool and quietly effective.
Underneath the ridiculous brand name is a very sensible formula. It is plant based, soothing and designed for the days where sitting down feels like a small project. This is your botanical tour of what is on the wipe and why your skin tends to sigh with relief instead of protest.
Why botanicals belong in your bathroom
When skin around the anus is inflamed, it is usually already dealing with friction, pressure and wiping that has been more vigorous than ideal. Botanical extracts can help by calming that reaction instead of adding to it. Many traditional plant ingredients have mild astringent, anti redness or skin comforting properties, which makes them well suited to haemorrhoid care and post toilet clean up.
Uranus Wiper soothing biodegradable wipes are built around that idea. Pure water forms the base, then carefully chosen plant extracts are added for cooling, calming and gentle cleansing, backed up by modern, skin friendly preservation. No harsh alcohol, no scrubby texture, no loud perfumes shouting over everything.
Reverse osmosis water, the quiet foundation
Every wipe formula starts with water, but not all water is treated the same. Uranus Wiper uses reverse osmosis pure water, which has been filtered to remove minerals, impurities and potential irritants. For delicate, irritated skin, this makes a difference. Think of it as starting with a blank canvas so the botanicals can do their job without extra background noise.
Witch hazel, the botanical peacekeeper
Witch hazel extract has a long history in soothing sore, puffy skin. It is known as a gentle astringent, which means it can help tissues feel a little more toned and less swollen, without the tight, stripped sensation that harsh toners give. Around haemorrhoids, that can translate into less of the hot, throbbing feeling and more of the calm, cooled down version.
In Uranus Wiper wipes, witch hazel works with the water content to create a light, refreshing feel. It helps clear away residue while being kind to skin that is already under pressure from sitting, straining or pregnancy.
Cynanchum atratum, the quiet skin soother
Cynanchum atratum is a traditional East Asian botanical, used for its calming influence on irritated skin. It does not come with a fanfare, it just gets on with softening the look and feel of redness and supporting the skin barrier while things settle down.
For anyone dealing with that prickly, itchy stage of a haemorrhoid flare, this extract helps tilt the balance back towards comfort. It sits alongside witch hazel rather than competing with it, both nudging inflammation in a more peaceful direction.
Agrimonia pilosa, the herbal soft touch
Agrimonia pilosa, often called agrimony, has been used for centuries in herbal traditions to support skin that is a bit fed up. It is associated with gentle toning and comforting properties, which is exactly the mood you want for a sore bum, not drama, just steady support.
In the Uranus Wiper formula, agrimony plays a background role, helping the skin feel a little less reactive and more looked after. Think of it as the friend in the group chat who quietly sends you a cup of tea emoji when things go sideways.
Male fern root, old school wisdom for modern skin
Male fern root extract comes from an old European herbal tradition. Historically it has been linked with cleansing and purifying uses, and in a modern cosmetic context it brings that same back to nature, supportive energy to stressed skin.
Paired with the other botanicals, it rounds out the wipe so it feels more like a considered formula and less like a random wet tissue. The goal is always the same, to help skin feel calmer, cleaner and less annoyed after every visit to the loo.
Ethylhexylglycerin, the modern helper that keeps it all safe
You will also see ethylhexylglycerin on the ingredients list. This is not a botanical, it is a modern, skin friendly ingredient that helps keep the wipes fresh and supports the preservation system, so you are not wiping with something that has gone off in the packet.
It has a light moisturising effect as well, which is useful where toilet paper has been drying the skin out. In combination with the purified water and plant extracts, it helps the wipe glide rather than drag.
Biodegradable, flushable and designed for sensitive moments
The liquid is only half the story. Uranus Wiper uses a soft, biodegradable wipe material that feels far gentler than dry, scratchy toilet roll. It is designed to be flushable, although it is still a good idea to follow local water company guidance about what your plumbing can handle.
For haemorrhoids, postpartum recovery, IBS flare ups or just the aftermath of a very enthusiastic curry, that combination of softness and soothing botanicals can mean less burning, less friction and fewer uncomfortable whispers from your pelvic region during the day.
How to use Uranus Wiper for calm, not chaos
After a bowel movement, start with a gentle pat using toilet paper if you like, then follow with one Uranus Wiper to clean thoroughly without scrubbing. Use light, dabbing movements rather than rubbing back and forth. If you are very sore, you can finish by patting dry with a soft piece of paper or a clean cloth to remove any excess moisture.
Many people find it helpful to keep a pack in the bathroom, one in a work bag and one for travel days. That way you are not left relying on cardboard like public toilet paper when your haemorrhoids have already filed a complaint.
The wipes are designed to support a wider care routine, not replace it. Fibre, hydration, movement and good toilet habits still matter. The wipes simply help make every trip to the loo less of an ordeal along the way.
Gentle relief that helps you through the day
Haemorrhoids are uncomfortable enough without dry toilet paper making things worse. Uranus Wiper Flushable Calming Wipes offer soft, plant powered cleansing with soothing botanicals like witch hazel, agrimony and male fern root to support irritated skin.
Try Uranus Wiper Flushable Calming Wipes and keep a pack nearby for the days your bum needs extra kindness.
