As an Incredimom, I have gotten the chance to try a wide range of Incredibum products. I love their diapers and their gigantic, reversible wet bags. I also love their Bum-boo Wipes! Now that is something I didn't expect. You see, while we do cloth diaper, we don't usually use cloth wipes. My husband insists on disposable wipes, and says that reusing wipes is crossing some invisible line in his head. So naturally, when my Incredibum Bum-boo wipes arrived, he was a bit less than enthusiastic. I was excited, though. You see, I will use cloth wipes on occasion, I just don't have too many of them due to my husband's aversion to them. While I am not an expert when it comes to cloth wipes, I did notice immediately that the Bum-boo wipes are much different than the other cloth wipes I have seen. First, they're HUGE! They measure a whopping 9"x9"! These are larger than even the disposable wipes I am used to using. The size is wonderful, since it pretty much eliminates the chances of getting any nasty baby goo on your hands when dealing with a blow-out! Another thing I noticed right away is that these wipes are super thick and incredibly soft. Bum-boo wipes are made from a 90% bamboo 10% polyester blend that is luxurious to the touch and gentle on baby's delicate skin. Sore butts are no fun, and for the baby with sensitive skin, these wipes are amazing. My son, Xander, is very prone to rashes and needs a more delicate touch. These wipes fit the bill perfectly! Since they're also very thick, I have found that these wipes don't allow messes to seep all the way through, getting on your hands. Another plus? The bamboo! Not only is bamboo a sustainable, quickly growing plant, it also contains natural antimicrobial properties. This allows a parent to get their baby's skin truly clean. I have to say, bamboo is one of my favorite materials, and I love the fact that Incredibum recognizes this and uses it in their diapers and wipes.
These wipes also hold up very well after many washes. We have used them many, many times, and they are still brand new looking, without a single loose stitch. I think they're even softer now than when they arrived. Washing them is simple, too. Warm Machine Wash and line or tumble dry low. No fabric softener, no bleach, and please limit barrier creams that are not cloth diaper friendly. This can decrease absorbency and cause repelling. While I still haven't gotten my husband on board for making the switch to cloth wipes, he does like the Bum-boo wipes. You see, they're multi-functional. While he refuses to wipe the baby's butts with them, he has used them as baby washcloths in the bath, as well as to wipe down their toys and highchairs. I am always finding new uses for our Bum-boo wipes! They're durable, thick, and ultra-absorbent. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a great, eco-friendly alternative to baby wipes. HOW TO CONNECT: You can check out all that Incredibum has to offer on their website.

I do use cloth wipes, but it did take me a while to come around. And then I struggled with making my own wipes solution :/ I now store them dry, but wet them for use, and usually keep a pre-mixed spray cleaning solution handy for the messes or when I feel like a little extra freshness for the babe!

way back when I just used washcloths or wipes. They didn't make things as nice as they do now. My nephew and his wife are expecting so they want to use cloth and I think it's great

I can't wait to start using cloth wipes full time. The tipping point for me is when I have to pick out gross disposable wipes from my cloth diapers before washing. (Alot of places I go don't like poo-wipes in the trash)... that and it just makes the CD-ing process even more green. Would love to try these out!

I have used cloth wipes. They make a lot more sense than disposable when you're cloth diapering. I think they do a better job, too.

I use thirsties cloth wipes and I love them. At first I used disposables but it was awkward figuring out what to do with them. With the cloth wipes, 1 is enough most of the time, sometimes 2 and everything just goes in the wetbag no matter where I am.

We use cloth wipes, but we don't have any that were specifically sold for use as cloth wipes, just baby washcloths and cut up and sewn baby flannel blankets. I feel like they are more efficient than disposables.
