Baby Wipes

Baby Wipes  (And a little on diapers)

Wet some paper towels.  Ring them out and store them in a container so they stay moist.  Simple enough.  Well, I like good wipes that don't tear.  So to make good home made wipes I wanted good paper towels which ended up being more money.

Then the paper towels were too large, so they needed cut, more time.  Then there is the fact that they don't come out one after the other all nice like the store bought baby wipes.  The time and effort and money just weren't worth it to me when I could by wipes that come out to a little over 2 cents a wipe.  (I always shop sales)

I don't do generic on wipes, this is one area I am willing to pay for quality.  Personally, Pampers are my favorite, but Luvs (which is made by the same company) is my choice when factoring value for your dollar.  Luvs is also my diaper of choice for during the day- cheaper than others and works well, plus my little one is not allergic to them as was the case with cheaper brands.  SEE UPDATE!!!

I will post later on my opinion of diapers.


Amendment:  While I do not like these as baby wipes they are GREAT for hand and face wipes.  Going on a trip? Make a few ahead of time.  It's an easy way to wipe food off kids faces and little hands.  I put mine in a reusable baby wipe container- they do go dry after a day or two, so another container may be better.



WIPES UPDATE:    
Did not want you to miss this.  While I don't like making disposable wipes, I love cloth wipes.  I wrote this post about nine months ago and laugh now.  I do not pay anything for wipes! Okay, let me rephrase that I pay $.0023 or less per a wipe. They are 10 times better than Pampers and are ten times cheaper.  I love cloth wipes, as does my toddler.  Cloth wipes post to come soon!
