Homemade wipes

I use cotton wool and water at change time both at home and when out and ran out of cotton wool at the weekend and tried disposable nappy liners, wow, they are fab, huge and seem to clean the poop better than the cotton wool.
I have been converted as they don't seem to get the odour damp cotton wool does and are cheaper.
Just thought i would share

These are the ones I have just bought.
That solution is meant to be the best one - loads of folk have mentioned it. I wet my wipes and take them out in a small monkeyfoot wet bag and then put them in the dirty wet bag when used. I don't use any chemicals on my lots skin as they get itchy. You could just use tea tree or lavender oil.
Nice tissue boxes are the same re number that come out - ploy to make you buy more!
I agree, Octo, and I am
convinced that there's a conspiracy - I can never ever get 1 wipe out, only 3 at a time.

Looking at that solution for wipes, has anyone tried the soap cube things on the same page?
I make up a box of wipes every couple of days (I use the pampers box I got from bounty and even make them dispense - it's a massive finger to pampers, I think

) but is that possible when out and about? Should I just use a spray or solution in a bottle? How do people do it?
disp baby wipes are horrible things!
I use bamboo towelling wipes - the ones that match my pop-in nappies.

They're lovely. Agree that grip is needed. If you put them on the radiator to dry they go quite hard and scratchy and that's great for taking off dried on poo. [JOKING!]
I really struggle with bought baby wipes now - they slip around and I always always get poo on my hand. Maybe it's just me.

I agree that double sided ones are best, I love my minki/bamboo ones But I don't think fleece is bad if you want something on a budget, mine work perfectly well, but just arn't a luxtury like double ones. They do need to be quite wet though. DD2 has awful weaning poo and never have a smearing problem.
Yes I have that, it's lovely for taking out. Anybody tried the So scrumptious Strawberry and mandarin ones? They sound delicious.
I've used fleece as a last resort, but had no smeary issues. Tis newborn poo though.
I have been converted to
this stuff for wiping. Got some when I was selling it, and really like it! Smells nice and don't have to carry wetted wipes around with me.
I have just bought some lovely flanelette ones from the US - will take a pic for you.
My favourite are Jabula bamboo one side(grippy but soft) and minky the other (lovely when botty sore) I even use a set on myself as facial wipes instead of those packet ones.Bamboo for for exfoliating, minkee around eyes etc.
Fleece are ok as back up, but I find they dry out really quickly after soaking in solution.
