Have you been thinking of switching to cloth wipes? If so, I think you will like this week’s giveaway for a 3 oz box of Baby Bits Wipes Solution  AND a 12-pack of Imse Vimse Organic Flannelette Wipes! These two paired together are a great combination to get you started with cloth wipes. You could opt to use either a wet or dry system. If you were to use the dry system you would simply store your clean, dry cloth wipes near your diapering station and wet them as needed. You would wet them with a prepared wipe solution by dissolving one Baby Bit into one cup of water and store it in a peri or spray bottle. The other option is the wet system where you prepare your wipes solution and soak your wipes ahead of time so they are ready for use at each diaper change. You could store wet wipes in a wipes warmer, recycled disposable wipes container, or even a large ziplock bag. Basically any type of container that will hold in the moisture will work to store your wet cloth wipes.

A 3 0z box of Baby Bits Wipes Solution makes 50 cups of antibacterial and fragrant wipes solution. The “bits” are small squares of soap made with all natural ingredients such as olive oil, tea tree oil, lavender oil, plantain herb, and chickweed herb.

If you use cloth wipes not only are you making an environmnetally friendly choice, you will also save money. It is estimated that on average a household spends $800 on disposable wipes from birth to age two. You could invest far less money into a cloth wipe system that would last for many years and could be used with subsequent children! The 12 pack Imse Vimse Organic Flannelette Wipes is a great option. The super soft wipes are made of 100% organic cotton flannelette fabric and come in two cute colors choices: ocean or rose.
