Cloth Wipe Solutions

Once a cloth diapering family moves over to using cloth wipes, the next step is choosing a wipe solution. There are so many options out there to choose from! You can make your own or purchase a solution from a store. I used and then reviewed three wipe solution options.

The first solution is one that I created for sensitive skin. It is 1 3/4 cups warm water. I then add 2 tablespoons of fast-absorbing baby oil and 2 tablespoons of Equate brand Cetaphil. I mix it all up and then pour it over my cloth wipes.

The second solution I tried was Monkey Doodlez Wipe Cubes. To use this solution, you add one cube to 2 cups warm water and dissolve. There is lavender and tea tree essential oil in this solution.

 The third solution I tried was Honey Bun Drops by Chubby Cherubs, LLC. The cubes are made from milk and honey with chamomile. You add one or two drops per 1 cup of boiling water and then dissolve.

 I like to fold my wipes accordion style and then place in a wipes container. This allows them to pop up. I pour the wipe solution over the bottom third, then the middle third, and then over the top. This allows the solution to get evenly distributed on the wipes. I like to use a glass measuring cup and a spatula for mixxing the wipes solution.

My favorite solution is the one that I created, but that is mostly because it works so well for my little boys who have very sensitive skin. I like that there isn't really a scent and that it leaves their skin smelling clean afterwards.

My second choice is the Honey Bun Drops. I really like the smell of these wipes. My boys did not break out while using this solution, so that was a bonus.

My last choice was the Monkey Doodlez Wipe Cubes. These wipes did not break out my boys, but I did not like the smell of the cubes. I also did not feel like they got their bums all the way clean because after getting wiped up, they would still smell.

At the end of the day, I would not buy the Monkey Doodlez Wipe Cubes again. I do like the the Honey Bun Drops a lot and I would buy them again. I think I will stick to the solution I created for now.

You can purchase the Equate Brand of Cetaphil and the fast absorbing baby oil at any walmart.
