Wet wipes, anti bac wipes, make up remover wipes, freshening wipes

You name it - they are impossible to pull out as one single wipe, am I right?

Then you have to try to stuff whole wads of them back in the pack and the packet rips.

These sound amazing, what brand are they? Didn't know they existed but I need them!

The ones I have are Nuage, but I'm sure you can get other brands. You can buy them at Morrisons, Asda, Amazon etc.

I find the ones that have a hard plastic opening and lid on top perform a lot better than those where the opening is just pulling off a bit of the soft plastic.

When you're in a yucky baby changing bit of a public toilet trying to deal with a poonami and preventing a squirmy baby from touching anything or kicking their way off the narrow table, of course that's the time when firstly you can't open the bloody wipe packet with one hand and then of course a clump of 10 wipes come out at once. And because you have no spare hands to separate them you end up using the whole clump when you didn't need to. Stressful stuff.

I bet the wipe companies do it on purpose so you use more and therefore buy more.

Just don’t use them. They’re rubbish anyway.

Unfortunately, I have a disabled incontinent adult to deal with, who’s tube feed a liquid diet so a cloth would actually mean, multiple cloths daily and the thought of put them through my washing machine - no thanks.

I’ll stick to pushing the extra wet wipes back in the pack.
