I made a bunch of wipes and bought some. The ones I made are flannel on one side and terry on the other, which work really well. I bought some velour wipes and they are really good.
I must be the only person who rinses them! My son does sloppy poop so I clean the messiest first wipe used with the little squirt while I'm cleaning the nappy liner off before putting them in the bucket to wash.
I used to wet the wipes with a container of water I would refill with fresh water everyday but since he turned about 4 months I switched to foamy wipes wash.
I wouldn't like chux either personally- too thin and not too eco-friendly to toss. Wouldn't baby wipes be cheaper than tossing chux away anyway?
wow thanx everyone!
to start out with ive just bought two packs of softies washers from big w since we r a bit tight on cash will see how they go and then look into others maybe.. i feel silly that i used normal wipes when i had dd in cloth i mean they are so expensive and when ur washing nappies anyway?? ahh well its all a bit daunting but fingers crossed it goes smoothly.. expecting my fluffy mail early next week!
I make my own wipes solution for my cloth wipes (I use the velour ones as well as old flannels) that I keep in a pump bottle on the change table...it comes in these little cubes you disolve it in water...it has lavender oil in it...wish i could remember what it was called...Monkey something. Anyway about $13 for around 55 cubes = a years worth of solution for the price of two packs of disposable wipes!!! yay i love my cloth!!
ps i will put any big bits of poo in the toilet if able, if not it all goes in the nappy bucket & rinsed & washed with the nappies.
