Cloth Wipes Our cloth wipes are 2-sided. One side is terry cloth for gentle scrubbing and the flip side is flannel for soft wiping. They are rectangular shaped so they fit nicely in a traditional wipes container. We reccommend pouring warm water over them for the day.
Why would I want to use cloth wipes?
As moms, our first instinct is to shove a dirty wipe inside the diaper, wrap it up and toss the whole thing in the pail. When you start cloth diapering, that instinct doesn't change! I can't tell you how many times I've had to fish "wipe lint" out of my cloth diapers after accidentally washing a disposable wipe! When you use cloth wipes, you put the wipe and the cloth diaper together in the pail and, when you do laundry, you have clean wipes AND clean diapers.
When your baby is born, hospitals recommend that you use plain water to wipe your baby's skin because disposable baby wipes can be harsh on tender new skin. If your baby has a rash, disposable baby wipes can actually make the skin more irritated! |
