I use disposable cotton squares cuz my baby has sensitive skin and they are the best! I wet them with warm water. My husband uses water wipes but I usually change her so she usually gets the cotton. Try it out. It’s especially good when healing a rash.

Waterwipes!

I wanted water wipes to work so badly but they were so harsh on my daughter’s bum, some of the worst diaper rashes I’ve ever seen. We’ve just been using toilet paper and water, then pat dry with a receiving blanket that I cut into squares

The gentlest wipes I've ever used have been water + microfiber towel. Pampers sensitive skin and Target fragrance-free brand is alright but sometimes I still get redness on my baby's tooshie.

We’re using honest fragrance free wipes. But you may want to explore whether your baby has an allergy of some sort if you’re having a lot of trouble!

Yikes! I still have some left and I wasn’t planning to buy anymore anyway because it’s a pain in the ass pulling the wipes up without pulling up the other!

Kirkland wipes. Very little fragrance, soft and not "too wet".

Shoutout for Costco’s wipes. They’re duper gentle and we love them. Also, you didn’t ask, but they Kirkland is also my favorite diaper brand.

I’ve liked water wipes the best.

We usually use Huggies Natural Care. We haven't had any issues with skin irritation and they are thicker than some of the other wipes we've tried. We also haven't had any issues with them being too wet - we've tried samples of water wipes and another "just water" brand that I can't remember and the wipes were literally dripping. (This coul totally have just been a manufacturing error in the sample, but it turned us off from trying them again.)

Surprisingly we really love the Members Mark free and gentle from Sam's Club.

YESSSS. We love the RICO brand wipes.

Honest wipes

Edit: they are expensive. Wait for sales and buy in bulk. We stopped using them once he started solids and switched to cheapo Aldi brand

We use the Costco brand wipes and find them better than water wipes. Baby has sensitive skin and we never had issues with Costco wipes.

Alright, you’re probably gonna hate this suggestion but after trying everything out there, we found the Coterie wipes to be the best (minus price). Not too thick/thin/wet and the wipes are big and sturdy, so they last longer too because you’re using less wipes each time. Water wipes are great as well, but Coterie is best (we use Coterie diapers too an my baby’s skin never looked better!).

We use these wipes and the ubbi weighted wipe dispenser!! These are great.

Yep! We buy them in big boxes at Costco and I much prefer them to other wipes including the Kirkland brand ones. I have found the Kirkland ones to be a weird texture if that makes sense. The Huggies ones are soft and have never had an issue with them three babies in!

I personally hate pampers. Too thin and too wet. They just slide all over when you try to wipe baby. After the 4th finger dip in shit I switched to Huggies. If you’re feeling pricey Honest has GREAT wipes. Super thick like cloth and not overly wet but the perfect amount of wet. (we were gifted some for baby shower) Targets brand of lavender scented wipes are GREAT too. Total dupe of Honest. But just the lavender for some reason lol. I tried all of the other ones that’s ere the same exact ones just with different scents and they were NOT the same consistency as the lavender.

Anyone have experience with Millie moon wipes? I bought a shit load lol (baby is not here yet)

Anything Un scented. We love the target up and up brand. We try to stay away from Amazon but their brand of unscented ones work great too.

Water wipes.

I really like the Huggies natural care wipes. I get the giant boxes from Sam's club.

I had issues with these wipes as well, they're weirdly dry and wet at the same time??? It felt really scratchy against my son's skin.

Ended up switching to Kirkland wipes which are so much better. Material is nice and soft and doesn't irritate my son's skin.

Water Wipes! You can get great deals on Amazon / Walmart and my two week old son reacts super well to them. They're exactly the right amount of wet

They are hands down the worst wipes I’ve ever tried. Kirkland is what we use instead.

These were recalled last year!!!

Rascal and Friends at Walmart: New Zealand brand and supposedly less toxic too

We are big fans of the Coterie wipes. Expensive, but the BEST. We have those + honest wipes. Once kiddo got bigger and started on solids, we started using liniment cream (we use the Mustela brand as it's my favorite formulation) and it helps cut down on any rubbing.

Didn’t Kirkland wipes have a recall recently for bad ingredients? We liked them till that. I agree water wipes are not the best but use as they are cleanest.

Having used 4-5 different brands first, the Kirkland ones are the best.

Plus they’re huge so with some careful holding, you generally only need one wipe per poo poo

Water wipes annoyed us as they were difficult to get out of the pack and didn't pull the next wipe out.

Huggies are great. We were gifted a pack with nappies and an outfit. Never looked back.

Seconding Hello Bello!!!

Also 99% water, but way easier to get out of the package, textured, and inexpensive. Switched to these from water wipes when I got tired of paying so much to keep my baby's super sensitive butt happy.

As a side note, for baby #2 we use Huggies wipes because she's not quite as sensitive, and they've been perfect. And easy to order in bulk for target pick ups. 🙃 Not a fan of Huggies diapers though... And Pampers wipes are the worst, so chemically and slimy.

Same! I love these. I was gifted some Honest wipes and I hated them—they were textured and seemed so harsh on his skin.

+1! I also suggest to try Pampers Aqua Pure, which is 99% water-based, hypoallergenic and gentle for babies.

We've found cotton wool pads and water works best for us! It's a bit of a faff to get used to but feels like we use half as many cotton pads as we did wipes

Pampers are the best ones I have used on my baby. I use the sensitive ones and they are the least dry, the texture of them is almost oily so they seem to be moisturising as well as really clean effectively compared to other wipes.

However they are expensive. The best budget ones I have found are Morrisons. I also like the lupilu Lidl brand, however the Morrisons ones come out of the packet easier, (as in you can just pull out one wipe at a time one handed, whereas every other brand the wipes all try to come out in clumps and you end up pulling out more wipes than you intended, which is really annoying).

Reusable wipes, such as cheeky wipes, have been a real game changer for us. A small investment to begin with but I find them so much better to use than any disposable baby wipes.

I like the Lidl water wipes!

Pampers sensitive are pretty wet and the best I've found. On offer in asda atm. Fred and flo are pretty good too.

You may have to experiment and see what works with your baby’s skin. My kids skin gets rashes from the Kirkland wipes but the Pampers sensitive wipes haven’t given us any problems.

My baby had some redness from the unscented kirklands brand when she was really young, she did ok on huggies natural wipes and water wipes. I found the water wipes a little bit harder to use and less thick.

Now that shes older, I can use the kirklands again and shes ok.

We used water wipes for the first 3/4 months and now we use pampers sensitive fragrance free. She hasn’t had any adverse reactions to soaps, lotions, or diapers and has never even had a diaper rash so I was okay with switching from water wipes. They get to be super expensive compared to other brands and once you get towards the bottom of the pack they’re super wet and stick together. My husband wasn’t the biggest fan bc he felt like he had to use a lot of them

We always used the kirkand case from Costco. It was reasonably priced and we could have a pack in the diaper bag and both cars and the changing station and daycare, so it was cheaper, babies bum never has trouble with them.

This time likely using cloth wipes with water.

We use water wipes and are very satisfied with them. The only annoying thing: sometimes it’s difficult to only grab one out of the package. Before we change the diaper I already pull a few out in advance.

I use the Huggies naturals and I really like them. My husband and son sneak them out of the baby's things too...lol!

Yeah, it’s annoying. They changed something. The old water wipes were a bit easier to get out but now it’s a bit difficult.

I never found them strong smelling or harsh, and baby wasnt sensitive to them. I don't remember if they said fragrance free. I have a 4 yo, so things are fuzzy.

A second vote for stocking up on waterwipes when on special! Amazon also do fairly good deals on them

The Lidl version are decent. My favourite is Fred & Flo from Tesco, 12 pack for €11

Dunnes unfragranced , your only man  Edit- XL all the way

We used to use Aldi sensitive, they were always fine and you could stock up whenever there was a baby event in the middle aisle.

Dunnes sensitive in the blue packet, 89c.

Don't buy lidl they're made in Israel on stolen Palestinian land.
