Cloth Wipes + Sprays

HannaB

I didn't see this in the FAQ ...

Do any of you use the sprays from Kissaluv or Thirstie? Right now we're using disposable wipes, mostly because I bought a ton of them at CostCo! But I want to start using cloth wipes.

I know you can just use water, but I worry that won't clean well enough.

What do you use?

In the past we've used just water and it's worked fine. Generally at the beginning of the day we'd fill a fresh bowl and keep it by the changing area. Then wet the wipe and clean. Clean wipes only into the water- no double dipping.

Right now we're using Kissaluvs mixed with witch hazel and love it. Her bum seems to appreciate it. We also have Homestead Baby which works well but I'm not as much a fan of the scent. It's totally personal though- not as much a fan of the citrus.

With DS, we've used just water since birth. No issues.

When DD was in diapers, I made up a solution with a little bit of liquid castile soap (Dr. Bronner's), a drop of tea tree oil, and water. That worked well, too.

I use LuSa baby wipe juice. Its concentrate so the scent is a little strong. I just add just a tiny bit to my spray bottle of water and apply to the wipe.

I have the Thirsties one and I really don't like the way it smells.

I have a spray bottle and make my own - I use a splash of California Baby diaper area wash, a squeeze of their Calendula baby wash, and then fill with water. It works really well and smells great! If she has a really stinky diaper, I use the CA Baby diaper area wash straight up since its stronger.

I normally just use water.  But, when he has huge poos I use the CA baby diaper area wash.  I got some punkin booty cubes as a freebie so I'm going to see how I like those.

I use a sray bottle with water & 2 honey chunks dissolved into it. For poops I use BG bottom cleaner after I wipe with the water solution.  I feel like that cleans her more & then the poop smell is gone.

Thanks ladies! I ended up getting the CA Baby Diaper Area Wash, because I could run out and get it at Target.
