Just like Mrs. Bee says she prefers to use water to wipe off her babies after a blow out... I almost wish I could only do that.</p> <p>@cyndistar3: I think I will tell my husband that--I'd prefer not to buy any extra things than really necessary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wipe-warmers-yuck#post-48804 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 21:03:06 +0000 SAHM0811 48804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yeah I read about mold growing in homemade wipes (the kind where you cut a paper towel roll in half, put it in a Tupperware kind of container, then soak with your own concotion)... Apparently some tea tree oil can combat it, but still grossed me out, so I spray LO with a homemade recipe then use a soft wipe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wipe-warmers-yuck#post-48803 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 21:02:22 +0000 cyndistar3 48803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started using a wipe warmer but quickly ended. I didn't carry a wipe warmer around with me everywhere so I was sick of my daughter screaming everytime we were out and I had to change her diaper. She quickly got used to the room temp wipes after I didn't use warm ones anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wipe-warmers-yuck#post-48801 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 20:56:38 +0000 heffalump 48801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: wipes are fresh and clean! Poo.... is not.</p> <p>Living in Florida I figured a wipe warmer wouldn't be necessary, but sometimes I do feel bad using a cold wipe on my lo's tush. However I'm too cheap to do anything about it, and she hasn't complained yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wipe-warmers-yuck#post-48787 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 19:49:49 +0000 cvbee 48787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: " wipes are grosser than poop" LOL so irrational; so funny </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wipe-warmers-yuck#post-48785 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 19:44:57 +0000 pastemoo 48785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cvbee: LOL&gt; I actually accidentally offended BIL and SIL (new parents as of 5 weeks ago) because I thought they were one of the those useless things that people with too much $$ buy and then don't use.<br /> Turns out they LOVE it (also they are very much budget parents). Apparently baby prefers the warmer wipe.<br /> Wipes creep me out, no matter the temp. To me wipes are grosser than poop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wipe-warmers-yuck#post-48771 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 18:50:58 +0000 ustechie 48771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we're going to cloth diaper and use cloth wipes as well. we registered for a wipes warmer- i am planning on keeping dry cloth wipes in them and spraying them down with my homemade solution right before each use. best of both worlds, IMO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wipe-warmers-yuck#post-48744 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 17:05:22 +0000 cvbee 48744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know. It's totally irrational. I'm not even a germaphobe! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wipe-warmers-yuck#post-48737 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 16:14:24 +0000 autumnlove 48737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm, I like my wipe warmer and we use go through the wipes pretty quickly so I'm not too concerned about bacteria. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wipe-warmers-yuck#post-48713 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 14:08:37 +0000 cvbee 48713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For unknown reasons I feel the need to say:</p> <p>When I was babysitting I really disliked the wipe warmer. I know this is irrational, but I felt like it was unsanitary because it seemed to be warming the wipes to that special temperature that bacteria loves for growing. It sicked me out. I like a nice clean wipe at room temperature. </p> <p>(But I will be cloth diapering and using cloth wipes anyways.) </p>
