The Close brand of reusable baby wipes are available in a pack of 10. They are made from a bamboo/cotton combination and come in a mini wet bag for easy storage either before or after use. Bamboo is naturally very absorbent and anti-bacterial so it is an ideal material for nappying accessories.
To use reusable wipes, simply dampen with warm water or a wipes solution and wipe baby's bottom clean. The wipes are then washed along with your nappies and can be line or tumble dried.
Savings
Reusable wipes can save you up to $1000 per child if you're using the most environmentally friendly option.
But even the cheaper options, at an average of 6 cents per disposable wipe, will cost you over $130 a year if you use 6 a day. That's nearly $400 for 3 years of using the cheapest brand very conservatively! Many families use disposable wipes for everything from wiping bottoms, to fingers and noses, to cleaning the high chair at a fast food restaurant. Reusable wipes will do the same thing for a fraction of the cost!
