    they're full of chemicals
    just stick a wet flannel in a bag (if going out) or use a flannel at home, much better for the skin, and the environment.

    I party agree but I wouldn't fancy using a wet flannel on a dirty bum them carrying it around with me :eek:then having to use it again on another dirty nappy or 2:eek:, then what do I use on the hands and face?

    suppose it depends how many kids you have and how long you go out for - i only have one child so i used to take a couple of flannels out, one for bum, one for face/hands. When changing nappy i used plain loo paper to wipe his bum, then the flannel, but i realise it's not the best solution in some cases! :D.
    (*edit* - how do you think mums coped before wet wipes? :rotfl:)

    Huggies pure 99p at Home Bargains this week. My favourite ones as they are really thick so you don't need so many.

    Asda has a box of 9 Pampers sensitive wipes for £5.00
  • I am not sure about baby wipes. I haven't got babies anymore. But we use them at work for customers who have got diesel on theri hands and they seem really harsh to me. I know if I use one for cleaning around the tills it makes my hands really dry.
    They were not invented when my kids were babies and I used muslin cloths and water. One for each end.
    I wouldn't use them on a babies tender bits myself.
