First time mom here who has used a different wipe for every part of my kids body for the better part of a year. Sick of buying multiple wipes, what's your favorite "multipurpose" that I can use for diapering, face and hands?
Have tried babyganics but he surprisingly has a reaction on his face when we use them.
You might also enjoy...
-
Up and Up unscented or Kirkland unscented/sensitive (don't remember what they're called). In a pinch, anything unscented except Huggies. They rip.
I also use them to clean leather and wood and to do quick wipes of just about anything.
-
We use Honest wipes for everything, although we also keep Boogie Wipes around for really bad colds (he refuses to let us use the NoseFrida). They sell travel-size packs of Honest wipes so you could make sure he doesn't have a reaction with a small commitment.
-
Seventh generation!
-
We use Kirkland Signature Baby Wipes. He has fairly sensitive skin and they don't seem to bother him. Unfortunately you can't really buy a small pack of them from Costco to try out - I think the smallest size they sell is like a 900 count.
-
We use seventh generation wipes. I love them!!
-
7th generation!

@jape14: I do LOVE honest wipes but they are so expensive! I'm not even a penny pincher but I have a hard time justifying it. Also find Jessica Alba to be a tad annoying. Haha
But they are amazing! I did buy them for a while but when I started comparing prices it was hard to swallow. If I can't settle on anything else I'll come back to them!
And ditto on boogie wipes! That is what I was using for his face for the longest time. Now I just keep a few packs for colds. They are the BEST for...well...wiping boogies
@MrsSRS: @LBee: I just bought a 3 packs of Kirkland wipes from Amazon. My nanny actually uses them to wipe her face at night and swears by them so I finally decided to give it a shot. I'll report back
@jlm22: @chopsuey: @ash: I'll pick up a pack today! I've been curious about them.
Basically I'm going to take all of these recommendations and cycle through a pack for bum and a pack for face and see what I like best!
Thanks! -
@SweetiePie: ah gotcha! we already do the Honest diapers bc DS has super sensitive skin so I try not to think about the price
-
@SweetiePie: Cool! We use them for everything... I've actually wiped the dog's paws with them before
I also find Jessica Alba annoying. Especially after she tried to sue that website Honest Toddler claiming she had control of all use of the word Honest (ETA link: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/30/honest-toddler-honest-company-_n_3677503.html)

@jape14: J is peeing on money!
-
@jape14: oh yeah, without a doubt if my son reacted or reacts to them best, I'd just commit and go for it. Hoping there's another good solution though! He doesn't have SUPER sensitive skin, it's so strange that he reacted to the babyganics like he did! Big red hives where we wiped him.
-
@jlm22: @chopsuey: @Ash: are these the ones?
Seventh Generation Thick & Strong Free and Clear Baby Wipes, 384 Count https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00A7NUARS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_MfcCwbTQB829N -
I really like Babyganics but they're expensive and you said your LO had an allergic reaction to em.
For my LO, I just use his regular wipes for everything (Huggies Natural Care or Simply Clean). He's not sensitive though.
-
We have used Burt's Bees but I think they are only for hands and face and liked them. I don't regularly buy them but I got them on sale.
-
We use diaper wipes for *everything*!!! We like Huggies Natural Care and literally keep a container in the car at all times.
-
We use Up&Up sensitive for everything and Boogie Wipes if she has a particularly snotty cold.
-
@Alivoo01: @regberadaisy: I have always used Huggies Simply Clean for diaper changes! I like them a lot, they don't seem to bother him and I actually think for the price they're pretty strong. But wonder if they are too harsh for his face? I have no reasoning behind that
Just something I always assumed. But maybe not! My only complaint is that when I buy the soft packs of them for the diaper bag, they are always too wet. Like I could wring them out! The refill packs for his table are only like that at the very bottom where the moisture settles. But the travel packs seem to always be soaking wet, I keep a pack of tissues too so I can dry him after wiping when we're out.
-
@LBee: between that and the smocked outfits, he is one fancy baby!
-
@avivoca: My sister uses up and up for diaper changes. But I think she gets the scented ones (which make me gag). It's Walmart brand right? I don't have one near me (NYC) but I'm going home for Christmas next week so I'll pick some up!
-
@SweetiePie: I like the ones with the cap just bc they're more convenient to use, but yes, wipes are the same.
I love how they dont leave lint on my kids' hands, they're unscented and have the perfect level of moistness to them. I used honest for a while and they're not moist enough for me.
I get ours at target. They're 2.98 or something per pack. -
@chopsuey: thank you!!! I like the snap lids too.
Oh, the snap top reminds me - also wanted to add that I love water wipes! I bought a huge box of those once - but they have the worst packaging ever. Can never pull just one wipe at a time, they get stuck, etc. Such a bummer!
-
Another vote for the Kirkland wipes for everything. They have never given her a reaction, sufficiently thick and wet, and I like the snap top packaging.
The only ones we definitely cannot use are Pampers sensitive, they give her a reaction and diaper rash. Up and Up from target are fine when I can't get to Costco.
-
Oh and I do keep a small pack of boogie wipes around for bad colds, when I'm wiping constantly, but now she actually blows her nose so I only use them when she has crusted on boogies.
-
I use everything - Pampers, Huggies. Up & Up, Amazon brand.. My main thing is I only like unscented!
-
@SweetiePie: Yep! Although I like the ones with the plastic top as it's easier to use and store. Same wipe though. Do you have the cartwheel app by Target? They sometimes have deals for seventh generation.
And I agree about the water wipes! The packaging is why I switched to seventh gen.
-
@SweetiePie: when I buy the refills from Amazon they always have a free wipe container. So I have containers coming out my ears! So there's one in the car. And at some point early on I got a free travel wipe container for the diaper bag. So I just refill them as needed.
-
@SweetiePie: There's only one way to find out, and that's to try! The moisture content on mine have been consistent and not too wet, minus the bottom of the package like you stated.
-
@regberadaisy: huggies natural care here too!love them! They are nice and thick, no fragrance, and you can buy them at Costco!!
-
I use Amazon brand for everything.
-
Huggies natural!
-
We use Pampers Sensitive for everything (although we do have Boogie Wipes for really snotty colds).

@SweetiePie: Up & Up is Target's brand. We usually use the sensitive ones of those for everything (including dirty dog feets). We are currently using the Amazon Elements ones from when that had that big sale a few months ago & those are pretty nice too. We do have some boogie wipes around for the crusty nose/runny nose though.
-
Another vote for Huggies natural care. E has really sensitive skin and he's never reacted to them. Every now and then we get a sample pack of something else and the fragrance in other wipes drives me crazy.
-
@SweetiePie: It's from Target! The sensitive ones are unscented. I love them!
-
we LOVE Water Wipes. I buy them in bulk on Amazon and use them for everything.
ETA: Just saw your comment about them above - oops! I transfer them into a different container because I hate the one they come in, but yes, it isstill sometimes tricky to pull out only one.
-
@SweetiePie: For the water wipes problem, try this Oxo wipes dispenser! http://smile.amazon.com/OXO-PerfectPull-Dispenser-Weighted-Plate-/dp/B0067GKHVS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1450197222&sr=8-1&keywords=oxo+wipes+dispenser
Won't help you when you're out and about, but it's good for at home.
-
@Pancakes: I bought that wipes dispenser for the water wipes, but my changing table has one of those trays Built in and the wipes holder is wider than the tray
so it didn't work out. I actually tried several different dispensers and they were all too wide for my tray. The only ones that fit are the Huggies and pampers ones. The ones you get for free with refills.
But they are amazing! I did buy them for a while but when I started comparing prices it was hard to swallow. If I can't settle on anything else I'll come back to them!
