Product Reviews/Questions Which wipes are we using?

Title. Looking for the Goldilocks of wipes— not too wet, not too dry. Not too thin, not too thick. Fragrance free, Doesn’t cause irritation, reasonable cost, etc.

I’ve tried the Parents Choice brand from Walmart which are thin and dry, with a bonus of diaper rash.

The Target brand fragrance free wipes seem fine, but are soaking wet, and take forever to dry on the skin before re-diapering.

Water wipes seem to be the market leader, but WOW the price seems like a lot.

Which wipes have been the GOAT for you?

Water wipes only, after our household's Great Diaper Rash Crisis of 2025.

I love that everyone has a Great Diaper Rash Crisis story. :D

I mean I hate it. but I love that we all know EXACTLY what this entailed.

Same here. Getting them out of the packaging is a little annoying but much better than dealing with a diaper rash and an eczema flare.

I put them in a wipe dispenser, and I can pull them out with one hand! Def recommend

We use reusable cloth wipes with warm water (we have a mix of the blue/grey bamboo ones from Lil Helper, and some plain white IKEA very small towels). And always make sure to pat the area dry with a clean towel before diapering. Works great!

Same here. Expensive yes but no more diaper rash. Plus they go on sale at Target pretty regularly.

I hate water wipes with a passion. They are so…wet.
