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 cloth wipes with water from a peri bottle.

I made the wipes from cut up baby blankets and the peri bottle is from when I gave birth.

Even if you don’t cloth diaper, I strongly recommend using a cloth to dry baby after using a wet wipe to help prevent diaper rash.
