Boogie Wipes

[Deleted User] · February 2012

Does anyone use them? It was suggested to me that they were beyond awesome, so I bought them. P has super sensitive skin, so I bought the plain ones. They worked like a dream! However, just a little while after that, P's entire face (anywhere I used the wipe) turned red! Poor kid was miserable.

Does anyone else with sensitive skin have the same issues? Do you guys use them & free yourselves from boogies care-free? Big Smile

Poor P! We loooove Boogie Wipes. I have the huge tub of them and it's lasted us several months. Her face has never gotten red and she seems to have mildly sensitive skin.

We only use boogie wipes when S has a runny nose and we love them! I usually get the grape ones and have never noticed any reaction to them at all.

I thank you for hooking me up with a package, they are awsome! Poor Pen and her skin

I had one pack I got at my shower, I think. I still have 1 or 2 left. I used them occasionally, but just thought they were "eh".

I bought them when DS had a cold and a nasty case of the boogs and thought they were great. Much better than wetting a tissue. We didn't have any skin problems though.

Hmm...check out the ingredients. I know there is some food stuff in them. maybe she just has an allergy to them!

We've never tried them, but I keep thinking about picking up a pack. Sorry your LO had a reaction to them.

Poor P! We've been using them whenever DS gets sick. I love them. I mean, the kid hates when we come at his nose with anything, but they work like a charm. DS has eczema and I was worried about them irritating his skin, so I bought the plain ones. When I ran out, the store only had the grape ones and DS has been fine with them.

Okay, for all those Boogie Wipes users, forgive a mommy who is out in the dark. How are these different than a diaper wipe or regular wet wipe?

Boogiei Wipes use a saline based solution (forgive me I never read any of the ingredients in the package.) We use them frequently because DD has a constant runny nose.

Your problem sounds like DH as a kid. DH was allergic to all wipes and they turned his skin bright red for a few hours. He has mostly grown out of it, but he still can not use the lemon scented moist toilettes they give you at restaurants.

Yeah, DH & I both have super sensitive skin so it's not a huge surprise. We didn't start nightly baths until maybe 8+ months because of her skin, and we still don't wash every night, just a splish-splash.

I did like the way they removed boogies a little easier than the wipes, but maybe that's the saline? I'm thinking that maybe I will just try a cloth with plain saline for my snot-nosed kid. Anyone try that?
