We mostly use 7th generation since I can get them cheaper via Amazon subscribe and save plus they're easier to find locally if we run out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitive-skin-wipes#post-2598449 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 12:04:30 +0000 Cole 2598449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do waste wipes too and they are great. It's instant rash for my daughter if I borrow wipes from a friend. We do subscribe and save for them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitive-skin-wipes#post-2598446 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 12:02:30 +0000 LindsayLou 2598446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter has very sensitive skin and doesn't do well with pampers or buggies wipes. We've had good luck with up and up unscented and seventh generation when we use disposable wipes. We primarily use cloth, but I totally get wanting to throw the yuckiness away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitive-skin-wipes#post-2598419 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 11:35:38 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2598419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: agreed!

It's just water with a tiny bit of grapefruit seed extract as a preservative. You can even get them on Amazon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitive-skin-wipes#post-2598340 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 10:25:16 +0000 Jess1483 2598340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cut the roll of paper towels in half, put both halves in a large container with a lid, pour 1-2 tablespoons of his baby shampoo+3 cups of hot water, and each time I do that, I have wipes for about a month. You pull out the inside of the roll (the cardboard part) and then just pull from the inside. Super simple. I'll see if I can find the tutorial.</p> <p>ETA: All I'm finding are ones that have other ingredients (baby oils, essential oils, etc). I found for my guys that just plain soap and water worked best for us. Here's a pretty basic one: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfMtPKb3k4M" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfMtPKb3k4M</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitive-skin-wipes#post-2598337 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 10:20:42 +0000 gingerbebe 2598337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is a little older than yours and Seventh Generation has worked well for him.</p> <p>ETA: the thick and strong ones. One wipe is all it takes per change and they haven't irritated him at all and we had lots of diaper rash in the beginning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitive-skin-wipes#post-2598232 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 08:53:32 +0000 Mama Bird 2598232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It could well be the wipes. DS never had a problem with them, but DD reacted to them very badly and developed a horrible rash when she was only a month old. I don't know if it was the moisture or something chemical. We ended up using regular paper towels - first a damp one, then a dry one. She was much better after that. She grew out of it, now it doesn't bother her if we're on the go and I wipe her with wipes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitive-skin-wipes#post-2598216 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 08:39:12 +0000 meadow 2598216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Magna Doodle: oh I didn't know target had those!!! I thought there were only online!! Thanks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitive-skin-wipes#post-2598196 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 08:19:45 +0000 snowjewelz 2598196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whenever DD developed a diaper rash, I would get these large oval shaped cotton pads from Target, and use the squirt bottle the hospital gave me for my tears, and just squirt water on them and pat her butt. If it was really bad, we rinsed her in the sink. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitive-skin-wipes#post-2598183 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 08:15:11 +0000 dc yoga bee 2598183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Plain water on a washcloth, or honest wipes. The ped had us do ointment/diaper rash cream, followed by cornstarch. Clears up any redness. We ended up using honest baby powder as our cornstarch step, and either the honest ointment or destin diaper rash cream. Lp hasn't had anymore diaper rash! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitive-skin-wipes#post-2598182 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 08:13:40 +0000 Magna Doodle 2598182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Water wipes for sure! I found these to have the least ingredients of most wipe brands. Bonus: they're available at Target! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitive-skin-wipes#post-2598167 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 07:34:51 +0000 meadow 2598167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: I usually pat dry with a tissue.</p> <p>@oliviaoblivia: I can't believe I forgot that...had read to do that somewhere months ago...duh!!! Thank you</p> <p>Thanks for the advice about cloth in general. I know it's bad but I so love throwing away the poopie grossness!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitive-skin-wipes#post-2598154 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 07:15:48 +0000 Alba4 2598154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would try washcloths or other cotton cloths. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitive-skin-wipes#post-2598153 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 07:15:48 +0000 avivoca 2598153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Up&amp;Up sensitive baby wipes! They are not as wet/oily feeling as Pampers and buggies and don't have an obnoxious smell. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitive-skin-wipes#post-2598152 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 07:10:28 +0000 catomd00 2598152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about cloth wipes? </p> <p>CVS sells soft dry wipes in the baby section - I love them for diaper rashes m. Way easier than cutting up paper towels! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitive-skin-wipes#post-2598151 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 07:05:09 +0000 looch 2598151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used plain water on a washcloth...you know those tiny baby ones they sell, that are super soft? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitive-skin-wipes#post-2598149 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 07:03:56 +0000 SweetCaroline 2598149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use Huggies Simply Clean, unscented. Huggies Naturals have aloe and other potential allergens. Maybe give it a try? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitive-skin-wipes#post-2598147 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 07:03:16 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2598147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use Dr. K and love them. LO has dry, sensitive skin and we started with Pampers Sensitive, but it was still too harsh. Dr. K is very natural and effective. We also use a soft dry paper wipe for big messes as an initial clean up.</p> <p> <a href="http://drkbaby.com" rel="nofollow">http://drkbaby.com</a> and Medline UltraSoft Wipes both can be purchased from Amazon </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitive-skin-wipes#post-2598142 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 06:49:58 +0000 Foodnerd81 2598142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pampers sensitive always have my daughter the worst rash- they were awful for her! We use Kirkland wipes now from Costco and have rarely had any issue, they seem much better for sensitive skin. Unfortunately you have to buy a big Costco box to even try them out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitive-skin-wipes#post-2598140 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 06:46:52 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2598140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can cut the whole roll of paper towels at once with a bread knife.<br /> I found using a tissue after wiping in the beginning helped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitive-skin-wipes#post-2598138 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 06:44:59 +0000 windswept 2598138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>WaterWipes worked well for us when we used disposables. We've used Grovia cloth wipes since we started cloth diapering. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitive-skin-wipes#post-2598130 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 06:36:32 +0000 youboots 2598130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you dry after wiping? I use cloth wipes to dry then apply Gro via if there is redness and it fixes a rash overnight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitive-skin-wipes#post-2598127 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 06:30:22 +0000 meadow 2598127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DS has had 2 rough bouts of diaper rash in his short 9 weeks. (One cleared with desitin ...one needed an rx) Both times we have switched to wet paper towels instead of wipes. This past Monday, I finished up a 14 day treatment of anti yeast meds....his bottom was looking good. I kept using paper towels but maybe 3x used wipes because I didn't have any paper towels at the changing table. Guess what he's getting red again!!</p> <p>I'm wondering maybe his skin is so sensitive the wipes are destroying his tush.</p> <p>We have used pampers sensitive &amp; huggies naturals...</p> <p>Anyone know of anything more sensitive? It's so cumbersome when we are out to not use wipes and just a daily pain to cut paper towels into little squares all the time ...haha</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
