Huggies Wipes - wipes, refills

Click here for more information We tried a few different brands of baby wipes when our twin girls were born. First we tried the Johnson and Johnson brand (they were dry and paper thin), then Pampers (they stink), and then we tried Huggies - and we only buy Huggies now.



The Huggies wipes are fabulous. We cloth diaper our girls, so we need a thick wipe to get their bottoms clean, and these have never let us down. Not once has a wipe given out on me - they are super thick, great size, and our girls have never had any rash or irritation from these wipes. These wipes smell SO good - not too "baby", just refreshing and clean. The zip-bag packaging is great for refills, and keeps the wipes moist until the last one is gone, and it's greener than dozens of plastic tubs!



These wipes are the best we've found, and we will continue to purchase them. The Cucumber scent wipe that Huggies makes are also thick & moist, but we prefer the Shea Butter smell.

This is a very good product, but what's going on with the amazon price. I am a big fan of Amazon, but this time I am not happy. I ordered the wipes thi morning, trusting amazon to always have the best prices. I then checked other sites, even babies' r'us, that is usually very pricey has them for half the price. Two hours later they won't let me cancel. You can check it out yourself, you're better off buying it at your local grocery store.

These smell pleasant enough without a real strong smell, and on auto delivery with amazon they are a reasonable buy. It is also a plus that I don't have to worry about running out. Amazon has super speady shipping!

I usually use Pampers Sensitive Thick wipes, but running low, I got these until my next Amazon shipment came in. I thought they would be a decent substitution. I was so very wrong. First, Pampers seals their wipes in small refill size packages within the larger package. This way, you just open what you need and the rest doesn't risk drying out. Huggies does not do this. All the wipes are in one package. Therefore, one corner gets snagged or you don't close it COMPLETELY and these dry out. Second, instead of individual wipes being folded to pop up the next one, these are all in a row and perforated. I have never been able to tear just one off without using both hands. Third, they don't pop up in my wipe dispenser. You get one out and you have to dig to get the next one. Again, not handy when changing a squirmy baby. I can't believe I have more complaints, but I do....they leave lint, there is a weird greasy film left after using them, they've caused rashes and they tear.

Huggies has the best wipes, BY FAR! I am not a fan of their diapers...but the wipes are the strongest and thickest. My fav is the "softskin" scent. Worth the money and thanks to Amazon Mom for the cheaper prices!

I chose these wipes after reading positive reviews, but I am disappointed with the overall quality. They shred with every use. I've used them in Huggies re-fillable containers as well as my wipe warmer and in both cases, they do not consistently pop up. I'm often opening the containers to dig out the next wipe. And the scent is a little too strong for my liking. I will not purchase these wipes again.

I have tried store brand wipes and Pampers Wipes, but I always end up coming back to Huggies. They are thick enough without having to pay more for "Thick" wipes and they have just the right amount of moisture. - Wipes - Refills - Sensitive Skin - Baby Wipes

Click here for more information The description isn't entirely clear but you get three 216-ct packages for the price listed (so 648 wipes total). If you're able to take advantage of the super-saver shipping, you end up paying just a smidge over 3 cents per wipe, which is about what I was paying for some store-brand wipes...except I don't have to worry about needing to use 3 or 4 wimpy wipes to do the job of 1 or 2 Huggies wipes, nor do I need to leave the house to get these. :)



After 5 straight years of changing diapers, I still prefer the Huggies wipes above all others, so I'm glad I can find them at a decent price here at Amazon.

Although I tend to buy Pampers brand diapers for my 14-month old girl, I have always strongly preferred Huggies brand wipes because they are thick, strong, and not too wet. I have been buying these Natural Care Fragrance Free wipes since the beginning through amazon's subscribe and save feature, and this WAS a 5 star product. But, no longer. After receiving the latest shipment this week it is clear that the product has changed. The wipes are much thinner, to the point that they are not effective. We had to go through 5-6 wipes just for 1 diaper. I'm very disappointed and will be canceling my subscription. *Incidentally, amazon is listing the date of this review as July, 2009, which was when I started the subscription. However, the review is actually being posted August, 2010.*

We love these Huggies Natural Care Fragrance Free Baby Wipes! (Fragrance Free, not "unscented" which just means the smell is masked.) These wipes are strong, but gentle, on tender skin. Our day care center uses only this particular baby wipe and they recommended it. We like to keep a supply handy in both bathrooms for everyone to use. Remoisten the wipes with steam-distilled water, if needed, because it is hypoallergenic, too, and won't ruin the nice fresh smell of these wipes.

Ingredient List with explanations: water, POTASSIUM LAURETH PHOSPHATE, glycerin, Polysorbate 20, TETRASODIUM EDTA (Penetration enhancer - alters skin structure, allows other chemicals to penetrate deeper into the skin), DMDM HYDANTOIN (Human skin toxicant - strong evidence), METHYLPARABEN (Methylparaben is in the paraben family of preservatives used by the food, pharmaceutical, and personal care product industries. Parabens mimic estrogen and can act as potential hormone (endocrine) system disruptors.), MALIC ACID (Use is restricted in Canadian cosmetics), Aloe barabadensis, VITAMIN E IN THE FORM OF TOCOPHERYL ACETATE. (Note: explanations taken from [...]

Notice that the Aloe and Vitamin E are the LAST ingredients, so the product contains a very small amount of the only natural things on the list!

Since I use 10-15 wipes a day, not sure I want to wipe my baby's bum with Parabens.

I bought these primarily because of the unscented aspect, because my little girl has fairly sensitive skin, and out of a lot of other wipes that I used, I definitely like these the best, especially the refill packs, because they're so convenient.



Pros:

-The packages are re-sealable, so you don't have to worry about the refill wipes drying out before you need to put them in the tub. Seriously nice, since the Pampers didn't have that, and half the wipes ended up drying out before I could even use them.

-Thicker, with texture, so they get all the mess, with less wipes. I used some of the Pampers for a little while, and found that I used a lot more of those, because they wouldn't have enough texture to get everything off without using several wipes.

-They really are great with sensitive skin, because we haven't had a rash since using these, and the aloe keeps everything soft.

-The wipes tear easily when dispensing so that you rarely get more than one, and they're thick enough that they rarely tear before you get them out of the tub. (I did say rarely, because they have once in a while, but not often enough be a make or break issue.) Really good for one-handed grabbing.



Cons:

-The package comes with oddly placed dividers, which don't really divide evenly for the tubs, and it's not a really big issue, I just found it odd, and ended up ignoring them and just grabbing enough wipes by eyeballing what looked like it would go into the tub.

-These do have a slight fragrance, but I think that might be from the aloe, and it's nothing serious, mostly because it's non-alcoholic. I don't mind it, and since it doesn't irritate my baby, I'm not worried. But the wipes aren't really completely fragrance-free, just quite a bit less than a lot of other wipes.

That word, "natural," keeps popping up. I've used these, my main beef with the product is that it's not biodegradable. However, they aren't "natural." The fibers in the wipe aren't natural fibers. They are unscented, they are durable. They are a little rougher than some other biodegradable unscented wipes I use. We haven't had a problem with diaper rash but they do sting the eczema on my husband's hands.



A good, strong choice if you aren't too worried about what you're throwing away and are just looking for a durable wipe that's unscented. - Huggies - Baby Wipes - Refills - Strong

Oral B Replacement Brushes - electric toothbrush, refills

Click here for more information I had read the reviews about this bigger head, and I thought cool, twice the brushing power in the same amount of time! However, after having received it, I'm a little dissappointed. It doesn't appear as though it's that big, but it feels very large in mouth. It felt like I was trying to brush my teeth with my thumb. I had trouble getting the brush into the far reaches of my mouth whereas before with the smaller head I had no problems. I'm not a small person either, I'm 6'1" and 190lbs, with an average size mouth. It's really not that different than the standard head, it's just bigger. I think what bothered me most about the bigger head is that the angles at which you approach your teeth are now more limited because of the increased brush size. Because of this, getting the brush into every nook and cranny is now more difficult. Also, because it is bigger, it's harder to close your mouth around the wand, which means you get more toothpaste goo running down the brush.



Unfortunately, I bought the economical 3-pack. I should have bought the single one just to try it out, but I was certain I'd love the bigger one. Oh well...

One of these brush heads came with my Oral B 980TX power toothbrush. I liked it so much more than the regular FlexiSoft head that I immediately ordered the 3-pack.



The extra bristles with their side-to-side oscillation add more oomph to the Oral B's tingle-inducing cleaning action. I can feel it all the way to the base of each tooth. When I rinse, I see more loosened debris swirling down the drain. I finish my morning brushing with a hydrogen peroxide rinse, and, man oh man, does it get foamy, an indication of freshly cleaned dental and gum surfaces.



The price is already a bargain but with additional available discounts like Free Super Saver Shipping, it's a steal.

The Oral B EB417 dual head power brush replacement does a great job of getting into tight places, reaching back teeth, removing plaque, has a nice gum massage action, and leaves your mouth and teeth feeling clean and very refreshed. The two heads work twice as good as one, but may take some getting used to if your used to a single brush head.



Using it by gently guiding it over your teeth, and letting it do all the work, it will last a long time too. It was nearly three months before I had to replace mine. Most Oral B brushes are interchangeable with all Oral B units. This one though, according to the buying info here, may not be used with the Cross Action brush. It will also indicate when it's time for replacement by the fading colors of the bristles.(the box shows as good picture of new and used). Just a little of your favorite toothpaste goes a long way too!



It's a 5 star product, but unless you are just one person who just wants to try it out, the better buy would be to purchase the three pack. It's almost like getting one free. My pack also came with different color rings, that fit on the brush at the base and is nice for families to tell the brushes apart. It's nice to have a spare for unexpected guests as well.

When I first switched from a standard toothbrush to Braun's power rotating brush head, I was surprised at how much cleaner it made my teeth feel. Then I tried this DualAction brush head, and loved it even more in about 3 seconds. Still do. In fact, I recently ordered 5 of the 3-packs all at once because I've had trouble finding them in stores and I was afraid they would stop making them or change the design.



Now, it is true that at first it feels like you've put one of those power floor scrubbers in your mouth, in that it feels kinda big and industrial until you're used to it. But boy does it make your teeth and gums feel cleaner. And I was accustomed to the different feel by the end of my first brushing with it. If that sounds potentially troubling to you, I recommend just buying a one-pack the first time. It's not cheap, after all, but for me it's been well worth the cost. Do try it.



I should also note that when I mentioned to my dentist that I've been using this, she referred to it as a "business killer." I take that as another good sign.

I was leery of the shape at first, but after one brushing, I'm hooked! The teeth are much slicker compared to the standard round head after brushing. The head is bigger, but the round part can reach hard spots.

If my Oral B had a flaw, it was that the brush head was a little on the small side. This corrects that problem and really adds a lot of cleaning and gum massaging to the brush action. Worth the little extra money, but do note that the brush is over twice as big with this addition...if you like the small size of the other head, this might be too much. - Electric Toothbrush - Refills - Oral B Refills - Dual Action

Makeup Remover - wipes, pampers wipes

Click here for more information "unscented" yet contains fragrance with the disclaimer **for masking purposes only. The ingredients are listed in the Amazon description so it's not a surprise. I'd generally shop for unscented products to avoid fragrances. While this product omits the fragrance of pleasant aroma, less scented would be a better description for this product than unscented.

I had always used Huggies natural wipes but decided to give this a try since they were around the same price and this ones had aloe. Bad choice! They are sticky, scented and kinda slimy. When you take them out of the tub, instead of only one coming out, it was more like 3. Most of the time the other two were shoved back into the tub since I did not want to waste them but that just made it harder to get another wipe once the shoved ones were used. In general I do not recommend.

I usually use the unscented wipes but ordered these thinking they were the same, I did not realize the aloe would make the wipes so sticky, they are no good for wiping hands and face when out b/c they leave his skin very sticky (and mine since I use them to wipe my own hands a lot). I am holding the rest of the box for use on our newborn instead as she will not need them for hands or face only bottom wiping and the aloe I am sure is great for helping heal diaper rash bottoms.

I just make sure I get the regular unscented now without the aloe.

These wipes leave a very sticky residue on your skin after wiping with them. I am presuming it is the aloe in them. They are also overly moist. I know that may not sound like a bad thing, but the extra moistness combined with the stickiness of the aloe makes them hard to separate. You end up using more than you need because they don't really come out one at a time. And lastly, the description says that the extra packages are resealable & can be used on-the-go, but this is NOT true. The extra packages are only for the plastic box dispenser.

It says they are unscented, but I still smell a scent although it doesn't seem to irritate my baby's skin. It also feels a little "soapy" and there is a sticky film after I wipe my baby's hands or counter/high chair surfaces. I think the Kirland (costco brand) unscented wipes are much better.

The wipes themselves were fine... but, unlike other brands, there's no sticky flap on the individual packages. So, if your big wipe container breaks, you need to find a new wipe holder. And, you can't just throw the individual plastic bag in your diaperbag. Big disadvantage for us.

We've been using Pampers Unscented with Aloe wipes since our son was born. He's 14 months old now. Recently it seems Pampers may have changed the ingredients in these wipes. I say this because now they seem to give our son a diaper rash. The ingredients say there is fragrance for masking purposes. (I think that is what causes the rash. Pampers Sensitive Wipes have no fragrance and our son doesn't get a rash with those). I don't have an old box to compare but the smell seems different. This is speculation because I can't look up the old ingredients. The name of the new wipes is "Pampers SoftCare Unscented Wipes". As of this writing, Amazon has not updated the picture that accompanies these wipes so read carefully.

We've used pampers unscented for years and loved them. However, the newer updated version, as posted here on Amazon, is different than pictured. Also, we don't like the new scent (even though it says "unscented")

The description says these are resealable, but they are not. They come with one big refill tub, but all of the refill packages are sealed - so once you open them they cannot be resealed. This doesn't work for my household as I have the wipes in several locations and do not have tubs everywhere. I will keep using the Costco wipes where each package has a snap top.

These wipes seem to work as well as any. They are thick and do not fall apart during use, even when doing "heavy wiping". My only complaints are with the dispenser. First, the wipes often fall back inside and then you have to thread them back through. Second, when you try to pull a wipe out with one hand, you often get two or three stuck together. Neither of these are that big of a deal though, so I still rate the product 4 stars. - Wipes - Pampers Wipes - Unscented - Refills
