Wetting flannel wipes

marisella · March 2010

We just registered for cloth diapers after visiting our local cloth diapering guru (we chose Fuzzi Bunz one-size). We also registered for flannel wipes, but I'm only just now realizing that we'll have to use some kind of solution for wetting them. I was wondering if you could help me with some of these questions:

1. Could we just use water to wet the wipes?

2. If not, what solution do you recommend? I saw some recipes online to make the solution yourself, and it seems more economical than, say, the bumgenius solution.

3. How do you keep wipes moistened? Do you use a spray bottle on the wipe? Just dip them in the solution? Or do you use an electric wipe warmer? Which of these is easiest?

Thank you for any help!

We use my peri bottle from the hospital and plain water! LOL

We just put water in a spray bottle and wet the wipes each change as needed.

I used to put the wipes in an old pampers wipes container and wet them all at once but found they started to smell before I reached the bottom so I started using a squirt bottle (small empty bottle from dish soap) with water and BabyBits. I am not a HUGE fan of the babybits though and will probably start making my own once they run out just from some babywash and a tad bit of baby oil.

I just use plain water, and I actually just grab a wipe and wet it in the bathroom (either put DS down in pnp or crib first or just bring him with me - he is fascinated by running water).

Thank you! It sounds like we won't need a wipe warmer, at least. And I'm glad I could just use water, or just a little bit of soap if needed.

Good question...I was just wondering this myself last night. I think we'll give the squirt bottle idea a go first.
