Storage box for reusable wipes???

I am planning to give washable wipes a try but struggling to find a box to store them in to keep them moist - aside from the fancy plug-in electric wipe warmer thing, which makes me feel a bit and is also quite expensive... Any ideas?

Ah, maybe that's where I am going wrong. My wipes will take a fold in half, but not into quarters without, er, seeping through...

I used to use a tupperware box but as my DD got a bit older she started to knock it over so now I use a garden spray thing and either give the wipes a spray or more often I spray her bum after wiping the worst off! She is used to it but I imagine a spray to the bum might be a bit of a shock for a newborn. And sometimes a bit of baby lotion on a wipe if I really need it.

You know those spray Dettol samples you get in the Bounty pack ? I emptied those out, washed them and filled them with water + a drip of aloe vera oil. I use them while out and about. At home I use cotton wool to clean her bottom and just have a bowl of water on the changing table which I change once a day.

And my cheapy tip is 10p flannels from Sainsbury's - that' what I use
