CD Question

Tayrusso

We're currently using disposable wipes, b/c at first the idea of cloth wipes grossed me out.  Well after a couple weeks in cloth, the idea no longer bothers me.  Before I rush out and buy the wipes, I wanted to ask if anyone has made cloth wipes before... 

What kind of fabric did you use and where did you buy it?  TIA  :-)

I obviously haven't done it yet, but a few of the girls on GP Moms like the cheap Gerber washcloths as cloth wipes.  I will probably use those once we start CD (we're not going to for the newborn stage).

haha we use disposable wipes. I don't want to spray poop off of wipes as well, I guess I'm not THAT hardcore.

I ditto the Gerber wash cloths. Although we always use disposable wipes.

Hmmm maybe we'll just stick with the disposables then. 

LOL Christina!

i don't spray poop off any of my wipes at all and haven't had any issues. most of mine are washcloths i got at target, ross, etc. i've only spent $2 or $3 on a pack of 5 washcloths. i do have some actual wipes that were given to me that are flannel and some of the other ones are just soft cotton

i didn't used to use cloth wipes but it really was annoying to throw those in the trash and then the diaper in the wetbag. so much easier for it to all go in the same place. and now i don't have a trash can of smelly poop disposable wipes. we have saved a lot of money switching to cloth wipes. never realized how many disposable ones we actually went through

really? Lucy still has PB poop some days so I feel like I wipe a lot off of her rear end , I'd be nervous that they wouldn't come as clean....but now you have me thinking.

How many do you have?

eh, the rinse cycle in the beginning gets it all off. same with diapers, if they don't plop into the toilet i just swish it around a little bit in there, but don't work too hard and if stuff doesn't come off, oh well it goes straight into the wetbag. i don't have issues at all with any lingering poo! i probably have about 30 wipes. most of them are just washcloths. the gerber ones are really nice, and target just finished clearancing some out that i really like for $.50, they're in a 5 pack. they still have them now, just a little more expensive because they have patterns on them
