Here are a few things you should consider when buying baby wipes .

Packaging :  When it comes to buying wipes , you pay for the packaging. However the extra money may be worth the connivence of a handy little travel size pack. It is also important to hold on to the reusable containers. By doing that you simply buy a large refill pack and restock them yourself.

 

Dont flush them : Most of the wipes on the market cannot be flushed in the toilet. If you are determined to find a flushable one, be sure to check the package before you buy the wipes.

 

Dont overuse wipes : Not every diaper change require the use of wipes. This is because urine rarely irritates the skin and also the super absorbent nature of disposable wipes limits the amount of pee that comes into contact with the skin. Reserving wipes for poop can save you a considerable amount. You also have to remember that moist tissue, a wet wash cloth or even a quick rinse in the tub may be used in place of baby wipes .
