I never realized how useful baby wipes really were until I became a teacher in the Scuttlebugs infant room. Before, I only thought of the use of baby wipes to clean a baby’s bottom or wipe your body. If you don’t already appreciate the power of a baby wipe, your mind may change by the time you’re done reading.

In our classroom we go through so many wipes on a daily basis. Besides my original mentioned uses, we also use wipes to clean the children up after meals. We use them to clean up their spit up and wipe their noses. They also do an amazing job at scrubbing off food and boogers from clothing in a pinch. Wipes are one of the most important supplies I make sure our classroom is stocked up on. When I become a mother I plan to always have an ample supply of baby wipes close by at all times.

Below is a list of our favorite wipes and what makes each one so great!

Huggies Natural Care Baby Wipes is a top favorite among many consumers, and is one of our favorites at the Bug. It features a simple formula of 99% water and 1% of aloe and vitamin E. The ingredients are natural and help to keep a baby’s bottom (or face and hands) nice and moisturized. With the thicker consistency of the wipes, the Huggies wipes are ideal for multifunctional use. They cost $14.63 for 3 refill packs (648 count) on Amazon.

Pampers Baby Wipes Sensitive is a popular brand and is used by many hospitals in the U.S. Because they are perfume free, they work very well especially on babies with extra sensitive skin. They also offer competitive pricing with their refill packs, costing $14.59 for a pack of 7 (448 count) on Amazon.

Amazon Elements Baby Wipes Sensitive is also unscented and tested by dermatologists for skin sensitivities. The packaging comes with a flip top, which allows you to reach for these wipes in no time. Although these wipes are on the thinner side, they are extremely helpful for people who like to travel, or just for a parent constantly on the go. For a pack of 6 (480 count), it costs $11.59 on Amazon. It is also rated “Amazon’s Choice” for wet wipes.

WaterWipes Sensitive Baby Wipes is another great wipe for babies with extra sensitive skin. The ingredients consist of mostly water (99.9%!) and fruit extracts (0.1%), which help replenish and sooth the skin. These wipes have been tested for sensitive skin and may restore the natural PH level of the skin. These wipes are a little pricier than the average, costing $32.99 for a pack of 9 (540 count) on Amazon.
