What do you use to wipe your babies bottoms?

I had been using chux clothes and they well. I will use huggies etc when out prefer something gentler on DD's bottom when at home.

I use itti bitti wipes. My friend uses muslin wipes. However I do prefer something a bit thicker. Esp now with solid poos.
At the moment I wish I could justify these wipes from Nappy Heaven.

I used muslin wipes, I just bought some material from Spotlight, cut it up and overlocked the edges. The last lot I got was double muslin so is quite thick. I have still got the ones I made before Jack was born so 3.5yrs old and they are still in good condition

I used to use the Budget version of Chux cloths, but now I have Itti Bitti ultimate wipes and love them! Well worth the small upfront investment, and I'm sure they are heaps cheaper in the long run. Much nicer on my toddler's bottom too.

We use Itti wipes and some cheap face cloths (the multi packs)... The Ittis are really for while we are out and about. I try and remember to wet one before I leave the house and keep it a zip lock bag so it stays damp incase I am changed where ther isnt a tap and then just have a few dry ones in the bag.

I use the face cloths at home.

I used two layers of baby muslin overlocked together. They are awesome. I have a couple of itti bitti wipes, but ended up using them as facecloths!

I've got a whole heap of home-made toweling wipes (got a big bit of material, cut it into about 20x20cm squares and overlocked the edges). They work great, are thick enough to avoid 'seepage' while wiping, and are nice and soft on his bottom

I'm glad I saw this thread! I've finally started using the cloth nappies I've been given and now I'm thinking about reusable wipes. I've had to ease in gently with this reusable business!

Big bit of towelling material cut up sounds like a good idea - might have to go with that.

We use facewipes and a couple that came in the pack I bought of nappies. The homebrand facecloths are good and big!

I started using cloth wipes first because of rash then moved onto cloth nappies.

I won't use huggies wipes thats for sure!
