To wonder what the point of embossed baby wipes are?

[TAFKAtheUrbanDryad]

I mean, seriously, what's the point of embossing something whose main function is going to be wiping up poo?

Really?

[FabBakerGirlIsBack]

I agree. Is mad.

Maybe the embossing gives more friction for very dirty bottoms?

[kidcreoleandthecoconuts]

God know! Maybe it traps the poo? I know something though the Huggies Shea Butter ones are lovely. I could sit sniffing them all day....DP thinks I'm a bit strange

[WhereTheWildThingsWere]

Personally, I wonder what the point of baby wipes are, but that's just me.

[mosschops30]

I prefer them, they seem to 'greb' more IYKWIM

[mosschops30]

'grab'

[kidcreoleandthecoconuts]

WTWTW - I couldn't live without wipes! What do you use ? A flannel? I use them for cleaning around the house too

[FabBakerGirlIsBack]

Have 2 threads at the moment.

[WhereTheWildThingsWere]

I have a big box of flannels, cut up towels and washable wipes, which just get ran under the tap and used for bums, hands, faces and spills .

[WhereTheWildThingsWere]

Not grown up bums, just dd, thought that could be mis-read......

@ fishy shaped cat food.

[TAFKAtheUrbanDryad]

WTWTA - if I was more organised I'd do that. I feel ecological guilt every time I use a disposable wipe/nappy. I think I may have killed approximately 4.7 polar bears.

[hocuspontas]

used on bum, washed under the tap, used on face . You don't mean that, do you?

[MrsBadger]

it is to enhance friction to try and emulate an old flannel, which make the world's best babywipes

I have sepearte ones for bums and faces

[WhereTheWildThingsWere]

Feck no, hot machine wash in between.

I know lots do have seperate ones for bums and faces but I just can't see the point when they go through a hot wash.

Still, not looking for a repeat of the the whole arse/face flannel thing.

[makedoandmend]

I thank God for the little embossed designs.

It's the only way I can double-check that my dh hasn't cleaned dd's hands with Dettol wipes again

[LittleMissBliss]

Makedoandmend I once caught dp wiping ds's bum with atibac kitchen wipes! I kid you not!

I never got the embosing thing....

[pinkthechaffinch]

well, after reading this read, I am now going to get a load of old flannels and use them on dd's bum.

Can't think why I didn't think of this before, after all I stick on a load of washing every day.
