Re-usable wipes- anyone used/considering using them?

Just had a read about them (cheeky wipes in particular) and the system doesn't really seem to have any downsides, plus it has rave reviews.
The only thing i'm concerned about is the initial output of £50 and then not liking them.

Any experience?

Well, my cut-up cheapy Dunelm fleece throws are turning out to be excellent. The fabric is such poor quality that one side has bobbled slightly in manufacture; kiss of death for interior furnishings, but great for shitty arses as it means you have a choice of sides to use - the bobbly side for really stubborn Weetabix poo!

Daft question here re: reuseable wipes and poopy bums- do you just put them in wash with the poop still on? I know with my re-useable nappies I have a liner that I get rid of so, not sure how washing works for wipes if they would be covered in poop?

I do

I dont use flushable liners with my nappies (se fleece) and most poo rolls of but some doesnt, but it all gets clean in the machine

also i use a piece of loo roll for the first bit of wiping which flushes down the loo

Wiggy I just put wipes and nappies in the machine, run an extended cold rinse cycle with a smidgen of vinegar and then run a proper washing cycle.

I've never find there are large amounts of poo in the wipes though (and I have a weaning-poo ridden baby).
