Diaper Swappers

mrs_hawkins · 03-16-2010, 02:48 PM

I've started my diaper stash, but I don't have wipes, yet. I can possible make my own, but I don't know what type of fabric to use. Can I get some recommendations for cloth wipes?

flannel is good.

I like having flannel on one side and cotton/poly velour on the other side. I also have a few sherpa wipes for super sticky poos, and OBV is nice and soft, but I think the velour works better for poops.

My favorite is Quilter's Nappies on hyenacart

Most of ours are flannel or baby washcloths

I like flannel/velour but I also like terry on one side for the poop.....I also use Quilter's Nappies...they come in adorable patterns and wash real well!!!! I had my sil make me some for my shower and I still use them but they are coming apart so make sure you really serge the seams well or they will come loose in the was JFYI

You can get a lot of cute prints in flannel and it's fairly soft. Most mamas like having one side flannel and the other be a more scrubby type material, such as sherpa, terry, or chenille. Others like having velour on one side. Cotton velour stays pretty soft wash after wash.

My faves are my Gerber washcloths. They're perfect and cheap!!!

I am loving the wipes from Little Lions, I got a few from them as a sample and they turned out to be great wipes. I just ordered 2 dozen of them because they worked so awesome.

I made my own (turned and topstitched) in both flannel/flannel and flannel/terry. We liked the terry at first, but it has since gotten kinda crunchy (from hard water perhaps?) so I only ever use flannel now. If I were starting over, I'd just cut up some old receiving blankets and use those instead of going out and purchasing fabric from Joann's (although I did get good deals when it was on sale and/or in the remnant bins).

I'll be the oddball and say I HATE FLANNEL wipes

for me all it did was smear the poo around

So I made sherpa/velour wipes 8x8 in size and I love love love them
