Silly Question... Scents - Cloth Diapers & Parenting Community

Cavegirl · 07-28-2006, 12:04 PM

So, I've noticed (forgive me, I'm new to this) that 99% of all the smelly products (wipe solutions, wool wash, diaper pail fresheners, etc.) are all either floral or tea tree scented. The problem is... I absolutely HATE flowery or tea tree scented things. I mean, they literally make me gag.

What other options do I have?
Where can I find products that aren't "stinky"?

I hate the smell of TTO, too so I make my wipe solution of boiled water, baby wash, lavendar and TTO EO (more lavendar than TTO) and...(this is the yummy part) Burt's Bees Apricot Oil. It smells SO good! I still add some TTO so my wipes don't go funky within a few days, but use very little.
Burt's Bees Diaper Cream smells mostly like lavendar. I love to smell DD!
Dixie Drops smell creamy--more like the shae butter than any TTO, IMO. Maybe try those!

I second the dixie drops suggestion! It has a nice, creamy smell to it. I love it!

But, lavender is one of the smells I can't stand.
I almost threw up in the parking lot of Lowe's near their garden center becase they had a big table full of lavender plants. hehehe

I LOATHE the smell of TTO
I got some Northern Essense Pail Powder in Sweet Orange and it rocks! Smells so yummy. And is graet for the dipes too.

I make my own wipes solution of just some baby wash in water. As far as wool wash goes, I get mine from www.sudzndudz.com She has so many scents, I'm sure you can find one that you will like.
