For those of you with little ones (or are expecting) you know how expensive those wipes can be. A 180 count box from Huggies/Pampers run about $5 and lasts maybe a week or two. A pediatrician friend of mine started me making my own from Bounty paper towels and I love them. I've even converted a few Huggies die-hard friends myself.
1. Buy the 8 count rolls of Bounty. Each roll has 64 (quilted 2 ply!)sheets. I think you can get them for about $5 for the 8 pack on sale.
2. Get a round tupperware container (okay, you have to splurge $3 here if you don't have one) that holds 10 cups. Cut the paper towel in half (I use my serrated bread knife) and remove the inner cardboard core. The half roll fits perfectly in the tupperware.
3. In a glass, squeeze 3 tablespoons each of baby oil and baby shampoo and fill with warm water and mix. Pour all over wipes. You can add more water if you like - I like mine pretty moist. Voila!
Each roll ($0.62 each!) is 2 sets of wipes (128 wipes)since you cut it in half and just cost you a mere fraction of the cost of ready made ones. I have experimented with cheaper paper towels but they don't work as well (rip easily or don't wipe the bad stuff off as well) and went back to Bounty since as they say, is the quicker picker upper! After all, if it's good enough to wipe our mouths, it should be good for the other end, too!
