Re useable wipes


What material is best to make these? Also how do you keep them moist while your out without them smelling damp?

Thanks! Xx

I use fleece and normal flannels While Im out I use a mini spray bottle filled with water and a bit of baby wash and then just squirt it onto the wipe. Which stops it getting too moist and when I've used it jsut pop it in my wetbag with the nappy. Easy peasy

I made mine with organic bamboo velour on one side and snuggle flannel (with a cute baby print) on the other. The velour is awesome, it soaks up liquid really quickly, so I have a little squeeze bottle with wipe solution beside the wipes, and I wet the wipe with it before use.

If you're going out, take a spray bottle with you, but the chances are you will change nappies in a baby change area or public toilet, where there will be running hot water anyway, so you won't need to use it.

I bought it from nappyshoppe.com , it's used for making diaper inserts as well (it's very soft and absorbs quickly)
