I only used water on cloth wipes for the first few months (water is best for newborn bots) then we switched to bubblebubs foamy wipes wash. I like the smells and it does feel like it gives more of clean feeling.
I have used the bubblebubs foaming wipe wash, but TBH water is better.
For a few reasons - you get more coverage with a water wet wipe - the foam only goes where you squirt it if you use the amount they tell you and the rest of the wipe is dry - ouch, it's expensive if you use the amount you need as opposed to the recommended amount.
Yes people argue for the scent, but if I have to buy wipes I buy unscented, so that's not an issue for me. If you wipe them properly there's no lingering smell - you don't use a scent on your own bottom.
I was going to say exactly the same as Kim. I did use a wipes wash, but yeah, a couple of squirts, and only a little bit of the wipe would get wet, and then the rest of it was dry unless I kept on pumping.
So then I just started wetting the wipes before I changed the nappy and haven't had any problems. And yeah, I've never worried about their butts smelling nice - who kisses their child's butt? I know my nose is hardly ever down there to notice - they might pee on my face if I did that.
I'm a water only for my wipes gal too. I actually dont even use a wipe if its only a wee nappy change, we just have spme nappy free time. WHen its a poo i just wet the wipe/s under the warm tap (nice in winter) and off we go. I do have some cushie tushies foaming wipe stuff which is in the nappy bag, i like it but its not necessary i think. I use it more for cleaning hands/faces/surfaces when we are out and about.
