These are GREAT!!! My friend used them, and she said she would never go back to ordinary wipes again! I tried them once and liked them alot, but cant switch until I use up my couple boxes of wipes that I got on sale. These are great for babies with allergies to other wipes.

    I used this recipe on cloth wipes and it works just fine. I bought some cloth wipes off of e-bay, got them in and didn't know what to do with them. I remembered your recipe and mixed everything together. I let the wipes soak over night. After I use them, I throw them in with the cloth diapers for a double wash in the washing machine. Thanks! This helped alot and saved alot of $$

    After much frustration from store-bought wipes, I searched and found this. I should have reviewed this long ago. My son constantly broke out in severe rashes from any store wipes, and in fact, all the medicated baby creams seemed to make it worse. Like Smilyn, I, too, used cloth. But, I made my own, which I wouldn't advise as it was very time consuming. This was the only thing that worked for my son. Word of caution, don't overuse the vinegar as that may be just as irritating for the baby, not to mention attracting lots of fruit flies!! It also is very economical, and, if you run out of the lotion, and have some on-hand, glycerine (sp?) works just as well and is very gentle. Thank you for a real lifesaver!

    These are awesome, I love them. I didn't have any baby oil so I used olive oil and it worked great. Thank you, I will never buy wipes again

    I made these when my son was a baby and that was 14 years ago and used them for my second child. Saved a lot of money. Always kept some in the car and diaper bag, but in a smaller container. During these economic times, I made them for a young couple expecting their first child. I wrote the recipe on the container I put them in and gave the supplies as a gift, minus the vinegar
