I wanted to see what everyone's favorite kind of wipes are. Every time I try to switch to a cheaper brand I end up using 2-3 times more wipes than my original favorite BabyGanics Thick N' Kleen Face, Hand & Baby Wipes. I'm hooked like crack but they are expensive. Anyone have any wipes they recommend?

A little on the pricey end, but I like huggies -any kind from regular to sensitive. Huggies is a great company, too if you ever need to contact them about quality issues

I LOVE Sams Clubs wipes!!! They are absolutely amazing! I use them all around the house. I started to supply wipes for my daycare kids because I didn't like using any other kind. Especially walmarts brand!!

I should add that I don't use anything with parabens in them. I just checked and even the Huggies natural wipes have parabens. I don't understand why they have to put parabens in everything!

I use unscented Parents Choice brand from Walmart.

I second the Parent's Choice unscented. I liked the Pampers when I used a wipes warmer, after that I switched to the Up & Up brand, but after trying the Parent's Choice, those are my favorites. It has been a long time since I used Huggies brand, so I can't comment on those.

The Kirkland brand wipes from Costco are the best, hands down.

I'm the one that posted about sams club wipes:

Do you ladies not have issues with the Parents choice wipes? When kids used to have them here they would always stretch a significant amount when I would pull them out and sometimes would even tear. I'm just curious

I have not had that problem, but then again, I don't really use the containers correctly. I don't leave them in the thin plastic wrappers that they come in. I take them out and put them in a regular hard plastic wipe box. Then, I don't pull them out the little dispenser hole, I just open the box and take out what I need. Not sure why I do that, but I just do.

I HATE Parent's Choice wipes.

I buy the blue re-fill package from Target. I believe they are unscented.

Strong, thick, and comes out of the dispenser like they should.

I use Seventh Generation Free and Clear, because natural, safe ingredients are my top priority. (I used cloth wipes and homemade solution on my own child, but do use disposable wipes for the other kids.) I find them to be nice and thick and sturdy, too, so I don't use many at a time. I have a very old Huggies wipes box that I just keep refilling, because I like it much better than the Seventh Generation box. I get a deal by buying them by the case from Amazon (subscribe and save).

I use parents choice in the purple box, fresh scent.

I've tried them all but these work best. Several different brands I tried removed skin from the special dcg. So PC it is. Her mom changed to that brand too once she discovered they are gentle for the girlies tooshie.

Huggies or Kirkland from Costco. Parents are required to supply. I hate when they get cheapo's.

... yep, they're pretty much the knock-off of Huggies. But cheaper.

I have no issues with them...I like them because they seem sturdier for the bigger kids BM's. I LOVED the Target ones when my little one was younger, because they seem softer and wetter, but as he got older, I started using the Parent's Choice (I still "stock" both Parent's Choice and Up & Up, but probably choose the Parent's Choice 90% of the time).

I HATE Parent's Choice... too small, dry and just don't clean a dirty bum well, IMO.

I also dislike Pampers and Huggies - seem too wet and greasy.

The only wipes (and diapers for that matter) that I like are Kirkland!

There is a lot of information about parabens and I encourage everyone to read up on it and make their own decisions. My personal choice for me and my family is to try to avoid products that contain them. My step mother's Oncologist was the one that first educated us on parabens. I pass no judgement on those that use products with parabens, shoot, I did for years and I still find products that I use that I realize have parabens. I'm on my own journey to find the safest products that actually work and don't break the bank!

I am going to try them and compare them to the Babyganics. I use the Oxo container for my wipes. Love it. It keeps the wipes nice and moist.

This is what I use. But I use the sensitive. They're almost always on sale and inexpensive.

I use Huggies One & Done wipes. They're sturdier than a lot of the wipes I've used, but my one gripe is that they are a little drier than normal.

Kirkland wipes from Costco. Huggies are a second choice but a disappointing one. I abhor Pampers and most other store brand wipes.

I think Huggies are by far the nicest, but most undoubtedly the most expensive. Never used the Kirkland's before (Our Costco is clear across town, SAMs is just a mile away). One family uses Huggies, and I only need a refill about every 8-10 weeks. The other 2 bring Up&Up or Parent's Choice, but I need refills of those about every 3 weeks. I tell my dcf's that I can clean a giant poopy mess with just 2 good quality wipes (we providers really are master changers!), but cheaper ones that "roll around on themselves" will take at least 5 or 6.

I LOVE baby wipes! I buy the PC at Wal-Mart myself, but my family uses them for a better clean when using the potty, and to wash our faces at bedtime, or for a quick wipe-up of the sink and counter, so they're great for that.

Lol I'm a wipe addict too!! They are a fix all. Like super glue and duct tape for us rednecks lol.

I keep a pack of wipes everywhere, even in my truck lol. Husband made fun of me a long time but then I found some in his truck too and I said

Huggies Natural Care, here.

I remember the old deodorant/paraben/baby powder/cancer theory, but the study only had 20 women and was discredited worldwide.

It is said to act like an estrogen, but at 1 million times lower dosage. It is in our natural food supply (fruit juices, blueberries and wine at much higher doses than wipes) and helps prevent the growth of harmful bacteria, fungi and microbes that can do some real damage to someone immune system.

Is there something new that has come out??

Same here, but sometimes I get the orange package.
I do admit though, that I love Pampers wipes. They are like little washcloths to me.
