What do you use to make your cloth wipes?

I will be going to Jo-Ann's on Saturday and want to get some fabric to make some wipes. I want to see if I make some if they will get rid to the rash cause wash cloths and disposable whips are out. Sad I am seriously about ready to pull my hair out with this damn rash.

 

Anyway, what fabric have you found to work the best? Flannel, cotton, terrycloth, etc.?

    I've tried lots of combinations (velour+knit, bamboo fleece+flannel, bamboo terry+flannel, etc), but my favorite combination is two layers of flannel.  Simple and gets the job done.  We just wet the wipe with water and toss it in with the diapers.

    i used receiving blankets and old flannel pj's for mine, so like pp, they are just 2 layers of flannel.  LOVE them!  they work great and didn't cost me a thing!  you can also use those little baby wash cloths too.

    Ditto 2 layers of flannel.  They seem to work best for us.

    I'd have to agree...I like our flannel wipes best.

    We love the baby washclothes from Target.  My mom made some 2-layered flannel ones, and honestly, they're just too bulky.

    I use flannel for the ones I make myself.  I have good luck raiding the remnant bins and can find really cute baby patterns for cheap.  I also use some baby washcloths for wipes too when I can find them for cheap in the store.

    I planned on doing some luxurious double layer wipes, but they were going to be way too bulky so I use one layer of sherpa and they work great. I was able to cut 100 wipes from $26 of fabric.

    I've made flannel/terry wipes and flannel/flannel wipes.  The flannel/terry wipes stain real bad on the terry side and the terry has frayed pretty bad.  I love my flannel/flannel wipes.
