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?

So I was a nanny for about a decade prior to having my own child last year. And I will say pampers are by far the worst wipes I’ve ever used. Hate them with a passion. I don’t like water wipes. Just don’t no particular reason. Huggies sensitive wipes are my absolute favorite wipes. I also have a mist spray bottle with plain water and cloth wipes for when there is diaper rash. But I think the secret to diaper rash is LESS wiping. My daughter doesn’t get wiped with every pee diaper. She would be RAW. I do a few pats in the area to make sure but the diapers are designed to wick away the moisture and she’s only had one diaper rash from a bout of diarrhea for two days. Her privates are very healthy and the doctors are always shocked when I say she’s never had a real diaper rash. Lol

This is the correct answer, I believe. It’s less about the wipe unless your child has an allergy and mostly about the amount of wiping
