Those who use costco wipes?

smilingjb · April 2011

Do you just take a whole package and throw them in your diaper bag? DH said just to do that, but the package is huge and I was thinkig we should get a travel size wipe holder. Just curious what other mom's do?

TIA

I always did because I became a fan of wipes for everything. Spit up, spills, cleaning my car while waiting at a light, etc.

I usually take a bunch of them and put them in a ziplock bag... I also have a whole pack in my car though

I would pull a bunch out and put in a plastic travel container, since for some reason we had a bunch. I also would put 1/2 used packages in my bag and open new ones for in the house.

Yup, I've done that with the Costco wipes. Or I'll use a half empty one.

We used Costco wipes for a short time and I think we bought one of those plastic travel wipe cases at BRU and refilled that with the wipes for the diaper bag. Now we do the bulk boxes of Huggies or Pampers and they usually come with a replacement big plastic tub and a travel case.

heck no! minimize what you have to carry. put a package that big in your car w/ some diapers and just get a small Target sized pack for the bag plus maybe 3 diapers max. i changed more diapers in the car than in public places.

Yep me too! I sometimes keep a pack in the pocket of my back seat as well! Great for hand wipes!

I tried the travel size wipes, but one big poo and they're gone. A blowout + spitup at the same time and you're screwed...

So now I buy the big package and throw them in. The travel size thing seemed like a good idea but not so much in practice, at least for us.

ETA: I have a sedan, and had the infant seat in the middle and a stroller in my trunk, so I rarely did diaper changes in the car. I needed to have lots of wipes in the bag so they were with me.

Yep I use the 1/2 used ones in the diaper bag too!
