So I would say probably 6-7 would cover you? I always packed on the heavy side cause you never know if you need it to clean them other places too. I had some pretty thin cloth wipes so it was compact even if I brought 20 in a wetbag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pack-cloth-wipes-in-your-diaper-bag#post-1692503 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 08:25:09 +0000 Boheme 1692503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take 6-8, and I wet them and throw them in a ziplock before we go out. If I don't use them, I just dump them in the wet bag of dirty diapers so they don't get musty. I usually just bring disposable wipes these days though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pack-cloth-wipes-in-your-diaper-bag#post-1692476 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 08:17:03 +0000 Weagle 1692476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would take 6-8. LO was amazing at timing blowouts for when we were out of the house. Once there was a pattern to her pooping I would pack wipes based on the time of day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pack-cloth-wipes-in-your-diaper-bag#post-1692471 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 08:15:55 +0000 swurlygurl 1692471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could never figure it out. Either the stupid bottle would leak or spill (my fault or not), or I would try to do how @looch: suggested which typically worked the best, but I would get lazy/forget, or the wipes would start to smell musty by the end of the day.</p> <p>Now I just use disposable wipes. It takes us like 4 months to go through 1 pack </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pack-cloth-wipes-in-your-diaper-bag#post-1692458 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 08:11:34 +0000 looch 1692458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: In the early days, I assumed one diaper change per hour, so 4 wipes in one bag. </p> <p>I treated the wipes like I would have a pack of disposable wipes, all wet and unused packed together, then the used one just goes in with the diaper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pack-cloth-wipes-in-your-diaper-bag#post-1692448 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 08:09:22 +0000 autumnlove 1692448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to bring damp wipes in a small Planet Wise wet bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pack-cloth-wipes-in-your-diaper-bag#post-1692444 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 08:08:31 +0000 pui 1692444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: @looch: @Mrs. Pen: How many wipes did you typically pack for say... 4 hours out? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pack-cloth-wipes-in-your-diaper-bag#post-1692438 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 08:05:43 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1692438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I cloth diapered, I did. I would pack them in a wet bag and bring our bottle of wash- which was in a peri bottle. I would wet them at the time and put the dirty ones in a different wet bag. I actually found it was pretty compact for the most part unless we were out all day and required numerous diaper changes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pack-cloth-wipes-in-your-diaper-bag#post-1692411 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 07:54:26 +0000 looch 1692411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would just wet them, wring out enough water so they would still do the job, and put them in either a small wetbag or ziplock bag. I didn't have enough hands to deal with a bottle of spray, somehow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pack-cloth-wipes-in-your-diaper-bag#post-1692397 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 07:45:52 +0000 Weagle 1692397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to just keep some in a little ziplock with a travel sized bottle of booty spray. Then I just started using disposable wipes instead. Much easier to carry around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-pack-cloth-wipes-in-your-diaper-bag#post-1692387 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 07:41:26 +0000 pui 1692387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Trying to figure this out. Any tricks on how to pack them as compactly as possible?</p> <p>I plan on keeping the wipes dry and bringing a separate spray bottle to wet them with. </p>
