Baby wipes are a godsend in our house. We go through loads as they are so versatile. We use them not only for bottoms but hands, faces, tables, bags, shoes etc. They are amazing.

So when I was in semi- chem and they had a box of 6 packets for £5.00 I thought I had a real bargain. How wrong was I????

I didnt realise that these ones were so different from the standard J & J babywipes. These are very wet and soapy. This causes them to be extremely cold on little ones bottoms. I have got the the stage that they are sitting on top of the radiator for when I need them. They are also very thin so you really need to use 2 in place of 1 normal one. They are also very stretchy - not great if you are cleaning a bottom and they stretch and tear at the wrong moment.

I always keep a spare packets of wipes in the car which come in handy, especially when the kids have toothpaste all over them and their sweatshirts. Unfortunately if you use the extra protection ones on the sweatshirts it leaves them white with soap, so beware.

Johnson & Johnson wipes are fantastic - just dont buy the extra protection ones.
