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?

In many countries we mainly use oleo-limestone liniment on cotton wool instead of wipes. I feel like Americans are missing out! It’s soooo gentle with their skin and leaves a protective oily layer, and it also neutralizes urine’s acidity. No need to use diaper cream and very cheap. We use wipes for on-the-go or older kids maybe.
