I just throw my dirty wipes in the nappy bucket - I wash my nappies every morning so they're never in there for long. I use Dandilionz terry/velour wipes and they've NEVER stained, quite amazing. Stacey's right too - the sun is fantastic for bleaching any stains out (I've tried with my nappies).

I just bought a couple of metres of muslin cloth, cut it up and stiched around the edges to stop fraying - they work well and were cheap. I just throw them in the nappy bucket - before the intro of solids I would soak the nappies and cloths but now I don't. I also just use water to wet them]]> Sat, 23 Feb 2008 15:19:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14466&PID=309718&title=cloth-wipes#309718 <![CDATA[Cloth Wipes : if theyre pooey i rinse them with...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14466&PID=309711&title=cloth-wipes#309711 Author: Bizzy

I use a type of cloth that looks like chux cloths. i was given a couple of boxes of them when Tom was born and I still havent opened one box. We have them everywhere. But I must admit lately I have gone back to using disposable wipes for the massive poos we have been getting.

I tried the little flannels on Sophie last night, and they worked well. I just put a couple of drops of TT oil in the water to make it smell nice. I might try some wipes from foxybots (there is other stuff I want to order from there), and maybe the dandelionz too. By the time I try them I will nearly have enough!!

Thanks heaps for all the posts!!]]> Thu, 14 Feb 2008 07:32:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14466&PID=301913&title=cloth-wipes#301913 <![CDATA[Cloth Wipes : I used flannels - the little ones...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14466&PID=301875&title=cloth-wipes#301875 Author: nikkitheknitter

i used cloth wipes before i even used cloth nappies and in the beginning used those little flannels too, and i only used water.
i love the dandelionz ones and mothers instinct sell them as well as greenbeans and i think snazzipants, lots of other cloth nappy sites sell them also, prob can get them from TM too.]]> Wed, 13 Feb 2008 18:33:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14466&PID=301670&title=cloth-wipes#301670 <![CDATA[Cloth Wipes : I&#039;ve got some of Staceys...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14466&PID=301666&title=cloth-wipes#301666 Author: mummy_becks

I've got some of Staceys and I love them . I only have 10 of them but that is enough as Josh usually only poos once a day - sometmes twice.

Not longer after I switched to cloth nappies I switched to cloth wipes too (it just makes sense!). I tried a few different ones and found that my favourites were Dandilionz wipes - either the terry & velour combo or the flannel & sherpa combo. At $2.20 each they do seem expensive but I invested in 15 wipes which is plenty and nearly a year later have worn so well I can't ever imagine having to throw them out. Also, when you consider that it was only the price of about 3 tubs of disposable wipes it really is great value! I got them from Green Beans, which has free postage on orders over $10.

Saying all this, I also got some lovely sample wipes from Stacy (Foxybots) which look gorgeous and are really well made - but I'm yet to use them because they're so gorgeous and girly I'm going to save them as a gift

I use cut up chux cloths you can get about 40 wipes out of a oacket of 10 for about $2.50. They wash fine and when they get grubby or holey, I bin them. As for solution I use 2 chamomile teabags steeped in 2 cups of water and cooled, then 2 tblsp almond oil and sprinkle of tea tree oil Lasts for ages in a little squirty bottle, I have a small one in myu nappy bag too and just put the dirty wipe in with the dirty nappy.

I have cheeky wipes and they're great. They're all I use now, and I prefer them over disposable wipes even if there wasn't the cost thing.

They come in a pack - a little bucket, the wipes (can't remember how many sorry, but I've found there's enough.. though you can order more if you need to) and tea tree oil.

I generally only use 1 wipe with each change - sometimes 2 but hardly ever.

And yeah so I put the tea tree oil in the water - 2 to 3 drops.]]> Wed, 13 Feb 2008 17:15:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14466&PID=301585&title=cloth-wipes#301585 <![CDATA[Cloth Wipes : I just use the little flannels...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14466&PID=301573&title=cloth-wipes#301573 Author: AliaDawn

I just use the little flannels and muslin squares we had for bathing Seb or cleaning his grubby little face/hands when he was little - You can easily make your own, or bought ones tend to go for between $1 and $2.50 each. I just run my wipes under warm water and wring them out a little before changing. I use toilet paper for the big messes - I'd probably do that for your toddler, but not for the little one. (unless toddler gets rashes easily)

Seb is a mini-wetter it seems, and only needs a nappy change every 4 - 4 1/2 hours with 1 trifold insert (microfibre) so I only go through maybe 4 wipes a day.

Edited for yucky grammar

I use ones I got from Tweedle when I was an agent plus ones that I've made as well.

I don't bother with the wipes solution, we just use plain water. You can pop tea tree oil in the water but I usually forget. ]]> Wed, 13 Feb 2008 17:01:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14466&PID=301571&title=cloth-wipes#301571 <![CDATA[Cloth Wipes : I am going to change from using...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14466&PID=301554&title=cloth-wipes#301554 Author: nicolaann

I am going to change from using disposable wipes to cloth wipes. I have a couple of wipes from tweedle which are good, but it seems quite expensive to buy lots of wipes @ $2 each. So I am just wondering what do you use? Also, does anyone use the wipe solution cubes? What else do you put in your wipe water? I was just going to use tea tree oil. Oh, and how many do you use a day?
