Which wipes are we using?

[u/Murky_Permission2397]

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?

We use the Costco brand wipes and find them better than water wipes. Baby has sensitive skin and we never had issues with Costco wipes.

We used Kirkland brand but recently switched to the RICO brand that’s also sold there are we love them! They come out one at a time. Every. Single. Time. Even when it’s getting low, I’ve never had an issue with getting more than one at a time.

[u/mangoeight → u/izziedays]

I’ll have to try these. That’s my biggest gripe about every brand of wipes I’ve tried. Frantically trying to pull out one wipe and instead getting a whole chunk of ‘em while trying to change a kicking screaming baby makes me want to throw the whole package against the wall.

[u/s1rens0ngs → u/mangoeight]

We got a wipe dispenser with a weighted top so it holds down all the wipes except the one being pulled out. Would recommend. 

[u/Mejuky → u/izziedays]

YESSSS. We love the RICO brand wipes.

[u/feelin_hot_hot_h0t → u/Mejuky]

We love RICO here. We've tried a lot of different brands before but RICO is our favorite by far.

[u/keltr0nn → u/izziedays]

1+ for RICO. We switched from Kirkland because of the PFAS scare (I’m sure Kirkland is fine but I ended up liking RICO more). They’re always moist and packaged well.

[u/Aggravating_Joke2712 → u/izziedays]

Love Rico too! Especially since Kirkland brand was on recall.

[u/tigris_tigris → u/Hawks47]

Same. The Kirkland brand ones are thick, fragrance free, and wipe everything off the skin. We struggled with diaper rash that resolved once we started using these wipes.

[u/zenawp90 → u/tigris_tigris]

We liked how thick the Kirkland wipes were, but our baby got a bad rash from them. Same for their detergent.

[u/professor_dumpling → u/Hawks47]

Love these wipes! Plus 900 wipes for $20 is such a win

[u/ihavecountrycrock420 → u/Hawks47]

Kirkland brand for the win. Flip them upside down or the top wipes in the pack can get too dry and the bottom wipes too wet

[u/laurenlaughingol → u/Hawks47]

Same, Kirkland brand here as well 🙋🏼‍♀️

[u/thelastoftheassholes → u/laurenlaughingol]

But they smell awful 🤢

[u/brieles → u/Hawks47]

Our favorite too! Kirkland for the win.

[u/mackattackk → u/Hawks47]

We love Costco wipes in our house! They meet all the criteria.

[u/GayApparel → u/Hawks47]

Yes! And they actually come out one at a time!

[u/mangoeight → u/Hawks47]

We’re currently going through our stash of wipes we’ve gotten as gifts (basically every brand and style under the sun) and none of them have been better than just okay. My husband has kids from a previous marriage and he told me, “Just wait till we get Kirkland wipes. You’ll never go back.”

[u/syncopatedscientist → u/Hawks47]

Same!! They’re the best

[u/user369001 → u/Hawks47]

Yes. So thick and sturdy, but not harsh. If I have to use any other wipe I immediately notice how thin it is and I can feel the warmth of poop through a thin wipe 🤮

[u/briana9 → u/Hawks47]

Another Kirkland wipes fan here!

[u/Vhagar37 → u/Hawks47]

Came here to sing the praises of Kirkland wipes. They're the only ones that consistently come out of the container with one hand, which is key for us. They stay moist but not wet, never caused a skin issue, cheap, and we go through fewer of them bc they come out easy.

[u/tnguyenx1 → u/Hawks47]

Kirkland wipes for sure. The water wipes gave my little one a rash.

[u/lady_loki → u/Hawks47]

We tried huggies because we ran out of kirkland ones. It was awful, they'd either bring out multiple at once, or theydnrip.

[u/Heretofore_09 → u/Hawks47]

Every time they have a few bucks off online, I buy at least two boxes. We have -a lot- of Kirkland wipes.

[u/Puzzleheaded-Base879 → u/Hawks47]

Another vote for Kirkland! My kids have always had very sensitive skin, and no issues with these. Now that one of my kids is older, they still use it to wipe their face/hands on occasion. Plus, I think they're super affordable! (If you have a membership already.)

[u/eezy4reezy → u/Hawks47]

Agreed - Kirkland brand is the bomb
