Wow! If baby wipes do this - imagine what it does to thier skin!!

[BellyBelly]

Hahaha I have posted that exact statement many a time in here!!! If I can get pen out of a sofa.... definitely not good for a newborns skin.

huggies wipes were in my handbag to spot clean my wedding dress on the day if I got any marks on it. LOL.

[kitten2b]

me too Liz, I used baby wipes to get red lipstick of my wedding dress - worked perfectly

[Willow]

I use them all the time to spot clean my rug!

[Nai]

In the fashion industry they use baby wipes to get marks and makeup off the clothing!!

[STARRYSKY]

I can not believe that baby wipes contain propylene glycol!

[Butterfly Child]

Thats just crazy!!

[JellyBean]

Yep - babies bottoms (and their sensitive genetalia region) are no place for the toxic ingredients in commercial baby wipes. The bigger the brand the worse they tend to be.
Its a catch 22 - they can cause inflamed skin and rashes - so then you need to buy some of their toxin-filled nappy rash cream.

Go cloth and save $$ and chemicals!! Natures Child organic cotton cloth wipes are good - very soft. And their organic Bottom Balm is divine - I use it on my lips!

[Ca Plane Pour Moi]

Wow, so I'm being a good mum rather than a skinflint for buying some flannels for the cost of a packet of wipes and using those over and over!

I used cotton wool balls when DS was a baby, then flannels with warm water when there wasn't an issue with more flannels than nappies in the bucket.

[Rumpleteaser]

I use the sensitive huggies baby wipe, but day care use something else and DS bottom is always red after being there. Never really thought about how harsh they might be.

You know what scares the crap out of me? Seeing that where the bottle of toddler-suitable aeroguard had leaked onto the window sill in the kitchen had stripped all the paint off! I kid you not! It was stripped right back to very nearly the timber itself. I couldn't believe it and wont use it on the kids now. I would rather they have a few mozzie bites than that stuff on their skin.
