So here's the deal. If you're going to cloth diaper, why not use cloth wipes? Makes sense. So, upon the recommendation of some friends, I purchased 3 dozen organic bamboo wipes from Ducktail Diaper Co. on Etsy. They are so soft and wonderful. And Laura, the shop owner let's you choose your thread color for the wipes - fun! Then I used my friend's wipes solution recipe. These wipes smell so delicious - I kid you not, you will want to wipe yourself. And I'm not only using them for wiping butt, I use them to wipe hands, the kids' faces, my hand - they are wonderful. And not only do they smell delicious because they are soaked in lavender but I keep them in a wipes warmer so they are warm upon touch - doesn't get much better than this people.
I will post the wipe recipe and steps for making below:
Wipe Solution
Warm water
Two big scoops of coconut oil (or a half cup of olive)
Squirt of whatever baby soap you use to mix the water/oil combo
Squirt of witch hazel
10-15 drops of lavender
5 drops tea tree
Dry Cloth Wipes
Witch Hazel, Lavender, & Tea Tree Oil (got everything at Whole Foods)
I'm using Olive Oil - the big Costco brand - I guess if I really wanted to dip into the pocket, I'd use organic, but Marlo's butt seems to do just fine with Kirkland
Mix ingredients with warm water and soak wipes.
I roll each wipe up like this so they fit nicely into the wipes warmer and I make sure to squeeze out excess solution - wipes should be just a little moist.
(The yellowish color on some the wipes is from the olive oil - completely normal.)
Line up in wipes warmer
And heat up for the spa-like experience (this is the Prince Lionheart warmer from Amazon)
I swear if you try this - you'll love it. And these don't just have to be for baby - you can remove make-up, moisturize you hands with these - so may uses really.
Thought I'd share since this makes me happy on a daily basis!
Wow Kari.
