Hey cloth diapering parents! We haven’t chatted about cloth wipes in quite a while. Do you use cloth wipes?
I have been using cloth wipes for diaper changes for almost four years, and I must say they are so much better for nasty diaper changes. I have tried flannel wipes, cotton wipes, hemp terry loop wipes, and more. For extra messy diaper changes you want a substantial fabric with a ‘grabby’ texture like the Bummas terrycloth wipes.
Bummas cloth wipes are rectangular cloths of a medium terry loop with finished edges and beautiful colors. Bummas come in a generous 10 pack and you can choose from a variety of color sets to compliment your diaper stash.
Bummas cloths were created to help parents dry baby bums after a diaper change to help prevent rashes and eliminate the needs for extras like powder. They have since become a popular cloth wipe option in the cloth diapering community. Bummas are the perfect size and shape (5in x 7in) to put right in your wipe warmer either flat or rolled up into tubes. I don’t use a warmer, but I do keep our wipes in an old wipe box from a pack of disposable baby wipes. With cloth wipes like Bummas, you can store them dry and wet them as needed, or you can place them in a container moistened with a wipe solution. My solution is usually some diluted natural soap, but sometimes I just use water. since they are made from woven velour terrycloth, they are delicate enough for sensitive skin.
Bummas wipes have just enough grab to clean up sticky messes outside of diaper changes as well. We often use our cloth wipes for wiping grimy hands and sticky chins too. It just makes sense to avoid the paper towels and use cloth for cleaning up our kids’ messes! a cloth wipe also offers protection against geyser moments when changing a little boy. Each Bummas wipe is absorbent enough to soak up a decent amount of urine, so I would even try them as a doubler in a newborn diaper!
Bummas have a seal of approval from PTPA Media and an eco-excellence award from Natural Child World.
Bummas retail for $15 a 10 pack and are available at several cloth diaper retailers as well as bummas.com.
