Why does no one seem to talk about these together!? We remember researching lots about cloth diapers as we prepared for the birth of our little guy. But not until 18 months (YES that long!) did it even occur to us that hey we are saving the environment and our wallets from disposable diapers, but what about all these wet wipes we are throwing away!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cloth Baby Wipes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So my hubby and I made the decision prior to having our first child that we would try to do cloth diapering. We decided this for many various reasons. Both for environmental reasons and cost savings (see \u201chubby says\u201d section below for our savings with one child). Over 18 months later, we are still going strong!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now back to the first statement of this post…Why does no one talk about cloth diapers and cloth wipes together!?<\/strong> We went 18 months using and washing cloth diapers while still using disposable wet wipes to clean that little tushy. That meant, we had a separate little trash can from the diaper pail, and we had to remember to take it out with the trash. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then one day it hit us…. WHY<\/strong> were we still creating diaper waste with these disposable wet wipes!? It defeated the whole sustainable reasoning behind why we had consciously decided to go with reusable cloth diapers! And it was costing us money to boot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So being the information-loving, research couple we are, we took to the internet and found lots of options for cloth wipes. We found what worked for us and made the leap to cloth baby wipes.<\/p>\n\n\n

Cloth Wipe Brands<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just like cloth diapers, there are a variety of cloth wipe options for all budget ranges from super cheap to fancy luxury options. Or you can go an even more sustainable route and upcycle some washclothes or make your own from fabric remnants. Not only are you reusing and reducing waste, DIY options provide even more savings! My hubby and I decided we wanted the convenience of just purchasing some cloth wipes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is a list of some of the brands we looked at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
