For disposable wipes (which J uses at daycare and when we are out and about) I buy 7th gen because my local kroger's affiliate regularly runs 50% off all 7th gen products AND always seems to have an endless supply of $1 off 1 baby product coupons out. So they come out to $1.30/pack of 70! (probably overpriced at $4.60/pack regular)
I have also used Earth's best and they seem thicker but they have a strange oversaturated soap-y feel to me and they never separate as they pop up. SO frustrating when I'm trying to get one out with one hand.
I keep thinking I may just buy the Kirkland Chlorine free, at costco, but I keep getting a great deal on 7th gen so I don't switch. Also, I once read on a cosmetic database type site that the Kirkland ones are not all that health friendly, but I can't find that info right now.
We used Pampers Sensitive wipes for a couple of months when H was just born. We switched to the Kirkland brand wipes because they were cheaper for us and I heard good things about them. I love them! I think the wipes are slightly larger than the Pampers Sensitive and, IMO, they do a better job with clean-up. They are slightly wetter than the PS, but not overly wet. No fragrance and no sticky/soapy residue. Although each wipes package comes with a pop-up lid, I take out the wipes and put them in a leftover PS pop-up tub instead. The Kirkland ones also don't seem to fully separate right away. The 2nd wipe is usually almost completely out of the tub before the 1st wipe pulls away, but I just leave it there and shut the lid on top of it.
At home we use organic bamboo fleece wipes that I bought from Etsy seller Wooldins. We just use plain tap water on them and store them in a Lions Heart Wipes Warmer.
Someone gave us a big box of Kirkland wipes when A was born and we're finally on our last package! To me, they do a good job of cleaning up, but we always follow up by wiping him down with a thin washcloth spritzed with water. A has sensitive skin and has gotten very red bottoms when we skipped that last step. We only use the Kirkland wipes for poopy messes and just use the washcloth or a Viva cloth-like towel the rest of the time.
we use 7th gen when we're out, but they seem really thin to me, and i always have to use like, 3 per poop. maybe i'm just more used to cloth wipes though, that are so much thicker? i'll probably try pampers sensitive when we run out of these. i'd try the costco ones, but we don't use them often, not sure if i want to buy such a huge stash. maybe when we need them for daycare.

This exactly for us too. I also use it in a leftover PS tub but I just tear off the Kirkland lid and just insert the whole thing in the tub.
We've tried Huggies, Pampers, Pampes Sensitive, Earth's Best, Tushies, Nature Babycare and Seventh Generation... My favorite by far is Seventh Generation!!!
I like how they are thin and not too wet. The wipes like Pampers were dripping wet and gave Alexa diaper rash. She almost never has diaper rash and I think it's because her wipes are not too wet. Plus, the thick ones were hard for me to really get in the creases and crevices...
I get the econo-pack of them and then put them into my leftover Huggies tubs. Works perfectly for us!!!

I use Pampers Sensitive wipes. They work great.....don't have a chemical smell, aren't too soapy, and clean great. My only complaint is.....
But I don't mind. I often get two at a time, but I just stick the second one back in if I don't need it.

When we're out we use Walgreen's Renew Naturals Bamboo Wipes (Unscented).
