So I am pretty sure I want to use cloth wipes with the new baby but have a couple questions. Do you throw the used ones in with the dirty diapers? OR do you get a special wetbag for them and wash them on there own? Also can you put the clean ones in a spose wipes box with wipe mixture and store them in there until you use them or do you do something else? I feel like a newbie all over again. Thanks!

I have our wipes stored in a tupperwear container in wipe solution ready to go- I only put about 10 in at a time becuase I've found if I put a bunch in they tend to smell musty as I get to the end. I use just water, baby wash and a few drops of baby oil for our wipe solution but we just started stocking wipe bits in our store so I am going to have to try those out soon (they are made by ruby moon)

And I wash everything together!

ive found cloth wipes to be so much easier with cloth diapers. when i used the disposable wipes with cloth i would have to separate them so they would get thrown out and the diaper would be in the wetbag. Easier just to put them all together. I just wash them all together.

I usually dont dry them because they are getting wet anyway. I hang dry 5 or 6 to put in my diaper bag because i prefer to travel with them dry and use a spray bottle to get them wet when needed otherwise they dont get used and get musty in the wetbag.

At home i put the clean wet wipes directly into the wipe warmer with some water and a few drops of California baby shampoo with tea tree oil (tea tree oil inhibits bacterial growth). Ive put them in the disposable wipe container before i had a wipe warmer and it worked fine but my baby enjoys a warm wipe.

there is a neat fold you can use if you want them to pop up like disposables do. i found that it works much better if your wipes are dry, they stick together more when wet.
Fold your cloth wipes for that “pop-up” effect!

I store my wipes in a mesh 'delicates bag' (for washing underwear), and i just use them with water (Emersyn gets irritated very easily, by soaps etc). You CAN store them wet, but I found that they started smelling a little musty......

I plan to just throw the dirty ones in the same pail with the dirty diapers, and will wash them all together.. I also plan on storing them dry, then wetting them as I need them with my old peri bottle.

I wash everything all together. I keep them folded in the drawer and keep a sprayer with water/baby oil/baby wash and spray them as needed. I do keep a stock of sposie wipes on hand though, sometimes I find I need them.

Except we use plain water. DS likes to spray it in his mouth...and that ended the baby wash/oil add-ins

I put them in a sposie box Huggies. I found out how to do it on YouTube so that they pop out one at a time. Super easy!

I have a spray bottle with water that I use. I keep the wipes dry until using.

When used, I have a lingerie bag inside my dry pail bag to put them in. I didn't like how they got all mixed up with the diapers in the wash.

Add me to team Ashley, Ashlee, and Shannon. We do the dry wipes with a spray bottle. Usually, I just spray DS's behind Then they go in the wash with the CDs. WAYYYYYY easier than separating disposable wipes.

Same as Ashley, Ashlee, Shannon, and Amy (am I forgetting anyone??? Lol)

I do use sposie wipes in the diaper bag just because we have had some super poops and I don't like filling up the bag with the 20 wipes I would need to feel secure for that case We go through them really slowly though.

Ditto to the majority.
Store them in a sposie container. Keep a spray bottle(with water, tea tree oil and lavender) and then spray the wipe, or his rear. Toss in wetbag with dipes.
Super easy
