Random question: Do you buy separate toiletries for your kids?

CleoKitty · July 2010

Do you buy separate toiletries for your kids or do you all use the same ones?

Me: The kids have their own toothpastes and mouth rinse but otherwise we pretty much all use the same soap, shampoo, conditioner, sunscreen, etc.

You?

For the most part, yes. I try to buy more generic stuff for us so it's cheaper but they still have skin sensitivies, and Taylor suffers from eczema pretty bad, so I try to get them more quality stuff.

We have different Q-tips (they have safety swabs), shampoo, conditioner, soap, toothpaste (Kids Crest vs Colgate Total). I use their Water Babies sunscreen!

All separate. DS has his own bathroom, so his own shampoo/soap/toothpaste, etc (plus, I am not spending $ on the more expensive shampoo I use for him, LOL)

He has his own sunscreen because I use a higher spf on him than on me.

We use the same sunscreen and soap but the kids have their own shampoo (I really like Pantene but I don't want them to have all the chemicals or whatever is in that stuff so they use Burts Bees). The older girls use the same toothpaste as I do but Gracie uses Dora toothpaste.

Ditto this 100%

yes, the kids get the blue lizard sunscreen, kids' shampoo and conditioner (that one is because my mom is constantly buying child shampoo and conditioner for no reason) low fluoride toothpaste, organic milk, bubble bath, etc.

We get cheraper stuff or harsher stuff. They sometimes use our stuff (bath stuff, conditioner, bar soap) but we try not to use up their stuff.

The kids have their own toothpaste, and Nat has her own hair stuff (she's the only one with fine, super curly hair - so far).

The big kids also use J&J body wash/shampoo but I don't buy it....they are using up the babies' supply- still 3 bulk bottles to go! - because I use Dove on the babies d/t Gabi's sensitive skin. So if it weren't for that, they'd use the same as us.

Yes, for the most part. DD1 has her own hair stuff because she has super curly hair. We also use a different body wash for her because she has very dry skin. DD2 has Burt's Bees shampoo/wash and I've been sharing that with her as a body wash because I love how it smells.Once we run out, she'll share with DD1 - the stuff we use on DD2 now were gifts from when she was born. DH and I even have seperate shampoos. DD1 has her own toothpaste. We all use the same sunscreen.

Yes, they have separate.

Ditto Devon. Jackson's not going to use my high maintenance stuff. Especially my shampoo, which is really pricey.

Plus like she said - Jackson has his own bathroom, so all his stuff is in there.

I do because she has a separate bathroom and it's just easier to keep her stuff in there and I don't really care if she junks it up.

Angela814 · July 2010

We have separate everything. Actually we all do.

I have my own toothpaste (sensitive), soap (Bath & Body Works), shampoo and conditioner.

DH uses whatever toothpaste is on sale, bar soap, and a 2 in 1 shampoo/conditioner.

Annalise has a kid's toothpaste, kid's soap, J&J tear free shampoo, and Suave kid's conditioner.

We have SPF 50 sunscreen for Annalise and SPF 30 sunscreen that DH and I share.

Oh, and even Charlotte will have her own. I got her the generic Aveeno baby wash and shampoo combo.

We use the same soap, but that is about it. They have their own shampoo, toothpaste and sunscreen.
