Surely so!
You may think I have a bit of an obsession about baby wipes. This could be true, but then again the first step to healing is acceptance.
More than anything, I just don't like spending anything more than I have to on a product that is only used for a few seconds at a time (is that denial?).
Anyway, a trusted friend has recommended the following: Cheeky Wipes. Essentially, they are terry towelling bottom wipes which you use in exactly the same way as moist wipes. My friend explained that she finds them better - more absorbent and holds the poo, instead of wiping it around (sorry if you're eating lunch right now).
If you follow the instructions on their website, you don't have to handle or indeed smell the poo all - it's all rather discreetly contained in their bag and box. My friend also advised that you really can't smell anything at all. At ALL!
The kit costs £35 and the company claim that over their lifetime will save you £200.
Might be worth a try!
Now, where did I put those baby wipes?

The Cheap Washable Nappies/Diaper Hunt
For those brave souls who have ventured into the world of Washable Nappies, I take my hat off to you. I have chickened out of it, despite buying the equipment while pregnant. It seemed like such a good idea…
Anyway, I did a ridiculous amount of research into where to get the best value washable nappies.
I thought that a universal size would help cut down the cost of having to buy different sizes, and so found 60cm x 60cm terry nappies from Amazon to be the best value with good reviews:
They also stock flushable nappy liners very cheaply (on the same page). These liners would also stop you from having to handle too much poo.
There’s also a company called cleangreennappy.co.uk who run a price match promise. They have a wide variety of styles and discounts on right now.
Although we don’t use our terry squares as nappies, they are fantastic general mopper-uppers to have in the house (baby reflux = mopping reflex).
Some cities also run ‘nappy fairs’ where washed, used nappies are sold by parents who can also often give advise about using washables. Try Googling ‘nappy fair’ or contact your local National Childbirth Trust group for more info.
Does anyone have any further tips on saving on washables? Please comment below!
