Baby Product - unscented, baby


Click here for more information
I haven't tried the older style of these wipes, but I am very happy with this one. I really like the packaging with the plastic bag but hard plastic opening/closure. I don't need to mess with refilling a bin but the closure works much better than the ones that are just adhesive. The wipes have a clean mild odor and are soft. They're not the thickest, most wonderful wipes around, but they are much better than most generics and you can't beat the price. I'll buy these again, but not for a while, this box will last a long time.

I used these wipes for over 3 years with my first daughter. After trying every brand out there, including chlorine free varieties, etc, I LOVED these wipes the most and used them for every baby and household purpose imaginable, the great price being an extra special bonus. Now on my second child I purchased a mega pack just a few months ago to find that something has changed. There is a distinct odor (they were truly unscented before) and they seem to irritate my new baby's skin. I had a pack laying around from an 'old batch" and have compared them side by side, the difference is definitely real. I returned the pack. Kirkland please go back to what you were doing before!

We have a new baby and he is now almost 17 months old. Well, with a new baby, you need a lot of wipes, believe me. Wipes of all types! Early on, my wife discovered Kirkland Signature Baby Wipes. She had tried a couple other more-known brands, but she said that the Kirkland Signature wipes were by far the best in addition to being the least expensive. We bought one of those mega-packs so the supply lasted a long, long time and we were very satisfied and we began using them for purposes other than the baby. Finally we ran out.



When we went back to get another mega-pack of wipes, we found that the wipes had been changed and were now in a different container. Well, my wife doesn't like these new Kirkland Signature wipes nearly as well as the old ones. Among other things, she says that they are billed as unscented, but their scent is greater than that of the old ones. Alas, we hate to see a wonderful product disappear. On the other hand, we still think that these new Kirkland wipes are much better than the more famous competing brands and are far cheaper.

These wipes are a good value at from Costco. You can buy the same size package there for $26, which is $13 less than the current Amazon price! The price used to be only $17 at Costco and has risen substantially since our daughter was born 2 1/2 yrs ago. They don't have the "cucumber" scent of Huggie's nor do they provide a rigid plastic container for refills. Each package comes pre-filled in a soft plastic container and the wipes are pulled out individually.

First off, you can get these wipes for $18.99 at Costco. I'm not sure why the price is so ridiculous here. Additionally, they sometimes have coupons for these wipes which makes them cheaper. For me, these wipes work well. They are not dry, nor too wet, although the ones at the bottom tend to have more moisture. The wipes are packaged with plastic open/close small lids so you can leave a few at the grandparents house. The wipes have done their part in handling my baby's blowouts. Its really a very good value for good wipes!

My sister-in-law recommended these after she discovered them with her son, who has very sensitive skin and is prone to diaper rash. When we had our daughter, we didn't even consider using anything else. These wipes are fragrance free, and incredibly gentle. We used a box of a popular brand that we received as a gift and were amazed at how strongly they smelled. These do not irritate out daughter's skin and are gentle enough that we don't worry at all. I would recommend these to every parent out there!

These wipes have been perfect for us. They are thicker than some of the other brands which is particularly helpful when you need it. They have a neutral smell which again works well for our little one. I have some friends who have used other store brands and they say the wipes are not strung together so it is hard to get them out - but not the case with these. They are easy to pull out and use from the soft case or you can remove the package and use in a warmer.

For the first year of my son's life I loved, loved, loved the Kirkland brand wipes. Unfortunately they changed and I'm not a big fan. We never had diaper rash before using the "new" wipes and now my son screams while on the changing table. I'm not sure exactly WHAT changed (I read they used to be cloth and now they're paper) but it is irritating and has an off-odor, like chemicals. I switched to Pampers sensitive and while those were much gentler, I use about 10 to every one kirkland brand. I do like the thickness of the kirkland so that is why I gave them 2 stars. They are good for non-diaper related clean ups (i.e. face, hands, tables). - Unscented - Baby - Child Care - Diapering

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

Natural Baby Wipes - natural baby wipes, chlorine free


Click here for more information
I used to buy Kirkland Signature (Costco) wipes and Huggies wipes. However, upon research from EWG's website, I decided to try the more natural and less toxic brands. So I bought Earth's Best, Seventh Generation, and Tushies, just to compare.



Size: Earth's Best is slightly larger than Seventh Generation and Tushies. If you like generous sizes, Earth's Best is the winner.



Thickness: Earth's Best is similar to Seventh Generation. Tushies is the thinnest. But none of the three brands is as thick as Huggies.



Texture: Tushies is subtly printed with ducks and stars. These prints increase friction so it is easier to remove dried poop that sticks to baby's bottom. Seventh Generation and Earth' Best do not have prints on them. They feel smoother on the skin. But on the other hand, they do not remove dried poop as effectively due to the lack of friction. More friction can be good or bad, depending on your perspective. One user commented that Tushies felt like sand paper. It was exaggerated. But Tushies does feel rougher on the skin. Between Seventh Generation and Earth' Best, Seventh Generation has more of a fabric feeling, while Earth' Best feels smoother.



Water Retention: inside the plastic bags that come with the wipes, Tushies wipes feel very moist. However, once I transported the wipes to the wipe warmer, they become dry. Their thin texture does not help the wipes to absorb/maintain water. Seventh Generation and Earth' Best are better at retaining moisture.



Breakability: it is very annoying to have wipes broken into pieces when you pull them out of the wipe warmer. Huggies and Tushies both break. Seventh Generation, Earth' Best, and Kirkland never do.



Overall, none of baby wipes I tried are perfect. They all have pros and cons. However, if I am going to choose one, I will go with Earth's Best for its size, texture, moistness and the fact that it does not break easily.

We have found this to be the best wipe around. Made in the USA! Generous and "Cloth like". They get the job done with less waste; On an outing, I can do a quick wipe of our 3 kiddos face and hands (with 1wipe) without it shredding, falling apart or particles left everywhere! You can really feel the Glycerin, so they are soft and very moist. I find the resealable tape works great... I have not had a package dry out, therefore I don't even use the refill tub any longer.



The package boasts:

*Chlorine free

*Unscented

*Hypoallergenic

*With Aloe Vera and Vitamin E

*Natural lotion



The ingredient panel:

Purified water=skin cleanser

Veggie derived glycerin=moisturizer, skin friendly humectant

Alkyl Poly glycoside=combased surfactant

Aloe Vera=heals, softens and smoothes

Citric acid=keeps PH level down

Vitamin E=Antioxidant or protective agent

Sodium Hydroxymethyl glycinate=broad spectrum antimicrobial

(like amino acid it keeps yeast and mold bateria at bay)



I do not read anywhere what they are made from nor that they are biodegradable, I am unsure why.



[...]



All this being said, in our household they have become a favorite, not just for happy bums!!



FYI-I also highly recommend their diapers.



Earth's Best TenderCare Chlorine Free Baby Wipes Refills, 80-Count Packages (Case of 12)(960 Wipes)

Earth's Best TenderCare Chlorine Free Diapers, Size 4, 33-37 Lbs. (Case of 120)

They are thick and fabric-like, which makes them very good for cleaning. I also like the less toxic ingredients and haven't had any problems with rashes or anything. However, I highly doubt they are particularly biodegradable, which bothers me since I use cloth diapers and in general try to use environmentally friendly products. I have accidently put them in the washing machine before with the diapers and the wipe was still fully intact after a wash and dry cycle. Also, they are VERY wet and sudsy - works ok for older babies or big messes, but when my baby was a newborn I always found myself having to grab a towel or something to dry her bottom after using the wipes so she wouldn't have a wet "soapy" bottom. One other comment - their wipe tub SUCKS! We have several of them, and the lids NEVER stay shut, they frequently dispense multiple wipes at a time or the wipes fall in and it's hard to grab them back out without removing the whole lid. You'd be better off just dispensing them from the refill pack directly, or using another brand's more useful tub.

I was using the Seventh generation wipes but thought I tried these. My daughter never had a problem with rashes when using the seventh generation but since the switch she gets rashes all the time. The wipes were foamy and a little too moist for my taste. I had to ring out the extra liquid before using them so it wouldn't leave my baby's bum too moist to avoid getting a rash. When I would use the wipes to wipe my hands it would leave a foam on it. Another disappointment is that the wipes would stick together sometimes. I couldn't use one hand, I had to use two hands to pull them apart. I'm bummed because I bought a whole case. I might switch back to seventh generation but they've decrease the amount of wipes but didn't decrease the price:( Any suggestions on any other wipes to try???? - Natural Baby Wipes - Chlorine Free - Unscented - Alcohol Free

Pampers Wipes - pampers wipes, wipes


Click here for more information
Our son really hasn't complained about these wipes, but to us they just don't feel right. They are noticeably thicker indeed. However, they do not seem as moist, as it feels like the wipe dries almost immediately as you pull it out of the package. And when wiping our son down, the motion does not seem as smooth. The case was only $14, so its not even worth it for me to bother to try to return the product. I don't know what I was thinking when I feel for the "stronger than the original" marketing. I never had a problem with the regular wipes tearing at all. I definitely WOULD NOT buy these wipes again.

I've always loved Pampers' products and rate them highly, but I think they really dropped the ball on these wipes.



I bought a 3-pack of refills of these wipes thinking they'd be similar to the Sensitive ThickCare wipes that I really love, but I was very wrong. These wipes are thick (as advertised), but they are stiff and not very moist, so it feels like I have to pick at my son's bottom to get it completely clean. I stopped using these wipes as diaper change wipes after the first couple of diaper changes and am now finishing them as hand and face wipes. Waste of money!

These wipes are HORRIBLE!! They are not made out of the same material as other Pampers wipes. These are very stiff and are like a cheap wet paper towel. These rip constantly! I had to throw these in the trash. They weren't even worth donating. I have no idea what Pampers' quality control department was smoking when they passed these through. Don't waste your money!

I bought a few packs of these when they were on sale at our local grocery store. Even at a discounted price, they are AWFUL! They're thicker, sure, but drier, and rougher. They feel like Huggies wipes, but worse. I LOVE Pampers' lines of products - we've used their easy ups, their swaddlers, their cruisers, and have always loved their wipes! The reason we have loved pampers wipes for the last four years was because they were soft, and had the perfect amount of moisture. Pampers failed miserably with these.

these wipes are perfect,they are thick like huggies wipes,soft,gentle and i love the packageing,liitle bags with plastic lid in front,great for throwing in the baby bag,no need for tub,theyre great anywhere.i got a special deal they were 8.40 a box.i wont have to cheat on pampers anymore.now they get all my buisness.

We have used the Pampers wipes in various forms, and given that our daughter is now on solid "adult" foods, her diapers have been a bit messier, to say the least. She is 15 months old, so we thought using the Thick Care wipes would be a good option for her more substantial and messier diapers. But ultimately this product proved disappointing.



First, the thickness of the wipes and the packaging makes it EXTREMELY difficult to get the wipes out of the packet without ripping them. Also, the perforation between the wipes means that we almost always get multiple wipes when we are just trying to get one. As any parent who is trying to change a squirming, kicking baby knows... having to fight the wipes container when you are changing a messy diaper is the last thing you want to do.



Second, while these wipes are indeed thicker, which can be good for those super-messy diapers, the problem is that they also end up holding more moisture. So much moisture that its like wiping our daughter's bottom with a wet washcloth. They leave so much moisture behind after wiping that she got diaper rash. We resorted to using the hairdryer to dry her bottom off after changing and before securing her diaper, which solved the problem, but that is an extra step I could DEFINITELY do without.



Lastly, the thickness of the wipes also translates into a courser texture. A paper towel would likely be softer, and although the hairdryer solved the moisture issue, her skin has been a bit raw from the sandpaper-like texture of these wipes.



Ultimately, we ended up using the wipes for her face after particularly messy meals, and to wipe her hands after she's been playing outside. The occasional use on anything OTHER than her bottom is the only thing I recommend using these wipes for. When it comes to diapering and changing, find another product!

We purchased these wipes for the first time after our usual generic brand of wipes completely changed its line. Out of the several kinds I tried, these were the best! At first I was disappointed that each pack of wipes had its own dispenser. I thought this was a waste since I wanted to transfer them to the reusable tubs. Eventually I realized I didn't HAVE to use the tubs, and now we just use them right out of the package...the snap close lid works great! Definitely recommend. - Pampers Wipes - Wipes - Subscribe And Save - Unscented

Baby Wipes - wipes, sensitive skin


Click here for more information
We've tried Pampers, Huggies, Tushies, and Nice N Clean wipes. We prefer the Nice N Clean wipes because they are soft, thick, and unscented. Pampers and Huggies while soft and thick have a strong unpleasant odor (even the "unscented" versions) and Tushies are too thin and not soft. We wanted to use the Tushies since they seem to contain the safest ingredients, but the Nice N Clean work the best to get the job done - clean the baby's tushy without any irritation using the least number of wipes.

These wipes are soft, gentle and hypoallergenic. All of those are important characteristics if your little one has a sensitive bottom. The packaging makes these wipes a great choice for stashing in the car. The lid snaps shut securely to keep the wipes moist. We use wipes in a refillable plastic container at home, but we like these wipes for stashing in the car when we're out and about.

I was looking for a wipe which is larger than what appears to be a common size 6x5 (Cottonelle, Wet Ones, Scotts) and that is truly unscented. This wipe accomplishes the size and no smell requirements quite well. However the material of the wipe itself is thinner than I expected. It is made out of some sort of stretchy material. Stretchy and thin was not what I was looking for, so I don't think I will buying this product again. I am attaching a photo which hopefully shows the thinness as you can see through the wipe itself.

We got those wipes when I gave birth to my son, when we got home we used pampers and huggies and all store brands wipes, he had diaper rash that will not go away. and finally I ordered those from amazon and he had no diaper rash since then.

I ordered 3 boxes and he is 4 month now and I still have about 6 month supplies, when comparing htose to reguler brands, I am not spending more overall, becuase those are more moist so i don't have to use 10 wipes with every diaper change.

I love them.. and being MD my self now I advice all my patients to use them.

Bought these to have on hand for the grandbabies. Didn't expect much because the price was so low, but thought they'd be good to have on hand. OH MY..these wipes are wonderful. My daughter in law puts Huggies wipes in the baby's diaper bag when they visit me but I told her to keep those Huggies wipes at home as the Nice 'N Clean wipes were a much better product. Very satisfied. - Wipes - Sensitive Skin - Unscented
