I used a spray bottle, and at the moment am using a ridiculously overpriced spray from Aromababy - smells soooooo good and I love the soothing bits for a newborn squishy's tooshie! When its gone we're back to plain water though. For out and about I have a smaller bottle.
Not sure if you want actual wipe recommendations too, but I have two sorts - bamboo ones that are quite thin but easy to use and do a good job, and itti bitti ones that are lovely and soft but TBH I find them a bit bulky for such a tiny bottom - will probably like them more as she gets bigger
I keep a resealable container o water on my change table, so no accidents. Dry wipes next to it, I dunk as i go. Used wipes get wrapped in a clean wipe then tossed in the pail, so I don't reach for a handful of poo when washing.
I used plain wAter in the early days, but now I add a squirt of ecostore baby wash, the smell overpowers any other revolting odors.
If its cold, I top up the container with half a cup of warm water.
Out and about, I carry dry wipes, thin flannel ones, and wet as I go with travel bottle of Gaia baby moisturizer that I have added water too. It's 90% water now. Dirty wipes just go in the wet bag.
I used to keep a Pump bottle of water with a dash of Gaia bath wash in it and would just squirt it onto the wipes that I was using! Worked perfectly for us, and I made them with flannel on one side and terry towel on the other side!!!
