    We even refer to some incidents as '50-wipe specials'.

    Thats a good deal. I am still working through the mountain i stockpiled when pregnant.

    have to be honest though, either my daughter (5 weeks) is quite restrained with her nappy activities or I am doing the cleanup wrong, but we rarely use 10 wipes for a nappy change, even the messy ones. That sounds excessive to ne.

    Thanks OP, I've ordered 6 boxes. With 3 kids aged 4 and under, I get through A LOT of wipes!
    Also, how good is the 10% discount code?! It is applied to the full price BEFORE 3for2 discount, brill.

    Just a suggestion, in case it helps anyone- I couldn't believe how many wipes we were using to clean up a no.2, and also how much time it was taking as a result. So I invested in some face cloths (flannels) which are 2 for £1 at Wilkos, nice quality too. I wet the flannel and usually find that just using one of them, albeit folding it a couple of times to keep finding clean patches to wipe with, gets up the worst of the muck, then just need a couple of wipes to get rid of what's left. A little rinse of the flannel before it goes in the machine ensures it isn't stained. I recommend the orange coloured flannels ;)
    Saves money and eco friendly too.

    You will probably find that a 5 week old's 'nappy activities' will be a lot smaller than a toddlers! 10 wipes can then be a starting point at times! Congratulations on your recent arrival!

  • Just in case it helps someone maybe looking to save even more money or a first timer not sure what to stock up on before baby arrives...

    I super stocked up on pampers wipes before my LO arrived, I mean really I had about 105 packs or something like that (Sainsburys bargain worked out at 55p per pack!) however now that I'm about to run out of that initial hoard (15 months later!!) I decided not to go back to disposable wipes and instead have bought reusable cloth wipes called "cheeky wipes" I also use cloth nappies now so it was much easier to get started but honestly, I wouldn't look back now, if I'd just used these from the start I could have saved A LOT of money. They are absolutely brill, much better at cleaning little bums, no soapy chemicals, you don't use as many of them, so much nicer to my LOs skin, smell fab and so easy to use, fantastic for the environment and most importantly I no longer have boxes upon boxes of wipes stuffed into every corner of my house! I thought it would be a proper faff to use reusables but it's really not. And hey if you want to be even more thrifty you could probably make these yourself! Just buy a large piece of thin fluffy cotton (or bamboo, whichever takes your fancy) cut into wipe size pieces, get an old ice cream tub and fill with about 2-3cms of water, add a few drops of essential oil (or baby shampoo) dunk your wipes, flip them over after a few seconds, close the lid and they're ready to use at the next nappy change! You can then chuck the dirty ones in a separate tub and throw them in the wash next time its on.

    Just thought I'd mention in case someone doesn't know they exist, but if its Pampers you're after, this is a great offer!

    Hi
    Thanks op
    Excellent offer!!
    I always stock up, with 3 under 3 and the eldest refusing to potty train it is handy tO have stock at home.
    I, however, never use that many wipes on one poo, I just take them up the shower and give them a quick bun rinse. Two min job and less traumatic for me :) also ensures theres no residue smell!

    I never buy Pampers sensitive wipes at more than 77p per Pack so this is fabulous!! Well done again op
    And congrats to all the new mums and mums to be. :)
