I just use baby wash cloths. I get a couple wet in the sink before changing a poopy dipe. I think I got them at Walmart 4 or 6 for $1. They are single layer terry. I also have some double later flannel I just put 2 pieces of flannel wiring sides together and used and over lock stitch. Easy peasy.

I have a bunch of wipes. I think like 60 some odd wipes? Somewhere around there. But then again, I use them on 4 kids.

I have a mix of Sweetbottomsbaby Boutique's own brand of wipes, a few WAHM made wipes and Kissaluvs wipes.

I keep them dry, in a stack by the changing table. When I need to use them I spritz the baby's bottom with a spray bottle of wipe solution and wipe, then toss it in the diaper pail. I wash every 2 days along with the diapers on cold rinse, hot/cold heavy wash, and dry in the dryer on medium-high.

I think it really comes down to personal preference and what works best for you. There really is no tutorial to using wipes. I have collected an assortment over the last 4-5 years and there are some that I prefer for poops, some I prefer for EBF poop, others for toddlers etc. So I would get some different kinds.

I personally prefer to keep them dry and then wet the bottom or the wipe as necessary. I either just wet them with warm water under the faucet or use a spray with EO for messier changes. It's just easier and quicker for me to do it that way. I keep a basket in the bathroom, one with the diapers and another stack in a little bag in the diaper bag.

I like grovia and thirsties, but you can use anything. You an keep dry till you need or put in a container.

I made my own with some flannel. double sided, turned and topstiched. and then i use a little spray bottle with water, a drop of baby wash and a little splash of witch hazel. Squirt the bum and wipe it off. cheap and easy
I may try to make a few that are one side flannel and one side terry, since i've heard lots of people like the terry wipes.

I just have a stack of cotton baby wash clothes. The micro terry grabs the junk but is gentle on the booticus. I just wet it down in the sink with water, but if her bottom is stinky after, I'll use a tiny touch of baby soap and then rinse.

I was using baby washcloths at first, but I now have made my own flannel ones.. It was super easy to do.. I have been told that minky are really awesome to use..
You can store them so many ways, dry (and get whet when needed) dry and use a spray bottle, store them wet in a container..Also store them in a wipes warmer
There are also many variations for wipes solutions.. You could try a bunch to see what works for you.. If you don't want to make your own you could always buy wipe solution cubes or just use plain water
Google it and you will find lots of answers! My son is very sensitive so if it's just pee, I just use water..If he poos I use a mix of water and a very small amount of baby soap (Live Clean)

I love, love using my cloth wipes! But if you use them to wipe up any non cloth safe ointment make sure you don't was them with your diapers..
