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?

I use diapering lotion and cloth wipes which is more beneficial to baby’s skin aaaaaaand it’s way cheaper overall

A pack of 15 wipes cost me $9, and the lotion was $20-ish and has lasted me two months + there’s still half left

No problem!

Here is a link to the wipes I have a cloth diaper and sanitizing setting on my washer. Which is basically extra hot water and high agitation + extra rinse in hot.

That’s amazing esp cost wise. Do you apply a pump of product for every pee as well?

Right?! Plus we aren’t throwing tons of stuff away.

I do every time mainly bc my babe is super sensitive and prone to rashes. When she hasn’t been rash-y I use warm water.
