So, I am thinking about once LO's bad rash heals up - starting to use cloth wipes... We have a prince lionheart wipe warmer, and I know that there are cloth wipes I can purchase that will go with it, but I was wondering -
How many of you use cloth wipes?
Did you make your own? How?
If you purchased them - what brand do you use?
What size do you like best for your wipes?
What fabric do you like best? Bamboo? Fleece? Cotton?
Do you use just water? Or do you use a solution?
Do you keep them in a warmer? If so - what brand?
Thanks ladies!
Re: Cloth Wipes ?
I bought my cloth wipes from a shop on Etsy. I found that I could get a better deal there, plus I love the cute prints.
The wipes I bought are about 7"x7". They are made of cotton flannel.
I use a solution - 3 cups water, 1 tbs olive oil, 1 tbs baby wash, and a few drops of lavender essential oil. I put it in the peri bottle that I got from the hospital, shake, and spray it on the wipes as needed. I have also bought the California Baby diaper area wash, and liked it.
I don't use a warmer. I keep the wipes in a Huggies wipes box.
Did you make your own? How? yes, using this link

What size do you like best for your wipes? mine are 8x8, they're the perfect size. I only need 1 to clean a messy toddler butt
What fabric do you like best? Bamboo? Fleece? Cotton? flannel
Do you use just water? Or do you use a solution? both, I prefer water but sometimes I use a solution of baby wash/ baby oil/ and water
Did you make your own? How? I did not make my own.
If you purchased them - what brand do you use? I use a mixture of gerber washcloths and circo washcloths
What size do you like best for your wipes? They are just the small squares.
What fabric do you like best? Bamboo? Fleece? Cotton? I think they are cotton
Do you use just water? Or do you use a solution? I use just water.
Do you keep them in a warmer? If so - what brand? I do not keep them in a warmer. I've never used one. I do keep them in the empty wipes box.

We purchased the Fuzzibunz Organic 2-sided cotton/fleece wipes and I love them. They are super soft. https://www.kellyscloset.com/FuzziBunzR-DOUBLE-Sided-Wipes--Organic-Cotton-Fleece-10-Pack-_p_3548.html
We also purchased these to make the solution. It makes a ton of solution (it contains enough for 50 cups) so the price isn't too bad considering. It works really well and baby's butt is clean! https://www.kellyscloset.com/Baby-Bum-Drops-Wipes-Solution_p_3546.html
