They won't fray or anything. I use just plain water in a spray bottle. I agree with @allison, if you're going to have more kids you'd easily get the cost savings back even if you don't with him. Also, you never know when you'll potty train.. so you might save more than you think! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-wipes-1#post-1137212 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 20:20:21 +0000 MrsF 1137212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123: We use cloth wipes with disposable diapers because M was having frequent diaper rashes with even sensitive wipes. I still use disposable wipes for poop and travel because I'm a wimp. Even with that I love the cloth! It's easy (we spray her butt, wipe her and toss in the hamper), no rashes and we're definitely saving money.</p> <p>ETA: We use grovia wipes. I tried cutting up receiving blankets but they were too thin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-wipes-1#post-1137200 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 20:14:12 +0000 sslm 1137200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have used cloth wipes from day 1 because disposables give DD a red bum, I've tried every kind! We don't cloth diaper. I don't think you have to do both so if you want to, I say go for it :)</p> <p>We have some actual "wipes", but mostly we just use baby washcloths! And water :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-wipes-1#post-1137164 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 19:55:18 +0000 allison 1137164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123: I wouldn't think it would be worth it unless you used cloth diapers. Especially now that (I assume) he's not pooping several times a day like before starting solids. I'd just stick with disposables! Or you could start cloth diapering, if you wanted. Assuming you want to have more kids, you'd still get your money's worth out of them (IMO) if you reuse them with future LOs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-wipes-1#post-1137142 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 19:45:34 +0000 pl0508 1137142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@allison: yes we use disposables! I wish we would've CD but not I feel like it's too late ??? I don't know why . I suppose it would be some cost savings- but wipes aren't that expensive so I really don't know my reasoning HA ! I was just about to ask if it would just be a total hassle to do it if we don't cd </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-wipes-1#post-1137121 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 19:35:44 +0000 BSB 1137121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I heard some good things about the Grovia ones. They are selling Grovia wipes (second quality) on their website for $6 for a pack of 12. Shipping is expensive but if you load up and spend $100, you get free shipping. I got 10 packs and sold 6 already. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-wipes-1#post-1137102 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 19:29:36 +0000 allison 1137102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use Osocozy ones because they were cheap. I just use water--I keep them in the bathroom and wet one in the sink if I think I'll need it (I only wipe for poops).</p> <p>Don't you use disposables, though? What's the motivation to use cloth wipes? Cost savings?</p> <p>You can also make your own disposable wipes with paper towels and a DIY solution. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-wipes-1#post-1137082 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 19:24:14 +0000 yin 1137082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started using cloth wipes after LO turned one. I bought a pack of bumgenius wipes, and I just wet it with water before a diaper change. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-wipes-1#post-1136988 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 18:30:46 +0000 Boheme 1136988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought some from a local mom who makes them, but my favs are cheapie baby washcloths from Target! I just squirt them with water </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-wipes-1#post-1136972 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 18:25:08 +0000 aprk 1136972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love them. I find that the thin flannel ones are the best. We store them in water at home, and use a small wetbag on the go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-wipes-1#post-1136970 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 18:24:13 +0000 autumnlove 1136970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love them! We use cotton/flannel wipes from Green Mountain diapers and we just wet them with water and wring em out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-wipes-1#post-1136965 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 18:22:03 +0000 LittleFox 1136965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love them! They're easier for us than disposable because they can all go into the same pail. Ours are from this etsy shop, and holding up well 9 months later:</p> <p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/111464794/48-cloth-baby-wipes-reusable-cloth-wipes?ref=cat_gallery_32" rel="nofollow">http://www.etsy.com/listing/111464794/48-cloth-baby-wipes-reusable-cloth-wipes?ref=cat_gallery_32</a></p> <p>We used grovia diaper lotion potion at first, but have been using just water for months and it's been fine. We store them in an old disposable wipes container. 48 wipes get us through 2-3 days, which is how often we wash.</p> <p>You can also use flannel fabric cut into squares (cheap old receiving blankets can be cut up for this, serge the edges if you're afraid of fraying), or even a set of cheapo wash cloths. I've also seen some people use old t-shirts cut up into squares. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-wipes-1#post-1136952 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 18:09:58 +0000 tlcbaby 1136952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Grovia ones and I also cut up receiving blankets from the hospital to make some (just hemmed them up around the edges). I just spray the wipe with a water bottle and wipe. Two or three wipes sometimes for big messed :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-wipes-1#post-1136946 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 18:08:00 +0000 dojo 1136946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've used them since the beginning and they work great for us! We have Thirsties and OsoCozy and I LOVE the Thirsties ones but the regular flannel ones work fine too. We wet them usually with just water but sometimes a little wipe solution too and I keep them folded pop-up style in an OXO dispenser for daycare. I love them because I just throw them in with the diapers to wash! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-wipes-1#post-1136932 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 17:57:18 +0000 pl0508 1136932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thinking about starting cloth wipes at home. Late in the game on this - LO is almost 9 mo. Tell me all I need to know ! Any favorite brands ?? </p>
