  • Making your own baby wipes is super cheap and easy to do. All you need is a roll of paper towels, 2 cups of hot water, 2 tablespoons of baby wash, and 1 tablespoon of baby oil

    And 10 years later, people are still benefitting from this video. I chose to fold a roll of half sheet paper towels and add jojoba oil, rather than baby oil, but I wouldn't have even known where to begin if it weren't for this video. Thanks a ton!

    Thanks for the reminder. I use to make Baby Wipes Before they were invented! Man, I could have been a Millionaire! I eyeballed everything ingredients so I found your video and there were the same ingredients I use to use! I was only shy about 1/2 of a teaspoon! I added Witch hazel you can also use Chamomile. The Witch hazel is Great for those with Hemorrhoids. So Soothing!
    I thought since there is a Booty Frenzy I post my old-time Recipe. Thanks for the Great reminder that us, old Geazzerets still got it!

    thank you soooo much! i'm in 5th grade and too cheap to get wet wipes or baby wipes, so i thought i could make them instead and this is the perfect answer! I sweat a lot in my underarms, and so before applying deodorant i need to cleanse them and clean them to get rid of the sweat and then put on the deodorant, because putting it over sweat just makes me sweat more and only keeps my armpits smelling good for 10 minutes. but tysm making these for myself is gonna be funnnn

  • @theresanott3400
    @theresanott3400 Před 8 lety +28

    I add a tbsp. of coconut oil & then the tbsp. of baby oil too. Also use Johnson & Johnson baby bath wash (or the generic equivalent). Use Viva paper towels or the HomeSense extra thick/soft paper towels. These hold up great! Maybe try using a non-serrated knife to cut down on the fluffy ends though? Can use gallon Ziploc bags if you don't have a plastic container. Should fit into a regular diaper wipe container afterwards, but you may have to pull them out from the front for a while until they shrink down enough to come out the top like a regular wipe. TIP: Try not to make more than one half at a time! By the time you go to use the second half, you may find it super soggy and possibly moldy!Just my two cents!

  • @Apex_wolf
    @Apex_wolf Před 6 lety +1

    This was good too for other reasons. The ingredients are easy and you can definitely find these anywhere. Sometimes coconut oil and the other thing the tree oil is not easy to find. But these are any general store. and you can always use bounty or Scott for paper towel. They seem to be the ones that hold up the best.

    • @MamaMittens
      @MamaMittens  Před 9 lety +1

And I like that idea I like that idea so that's good and I got one kid on my own that's good atleast vanessa

    I like the fact that this avoids baby wipe plastic packaging waste. However, the baby oil also comes from plastic packaging. I wonder whether for example cooking oil from bottles could be used. (Of course, it would be nice if baby oil also came in glass bottles.)

  • @shruffles35
    @shruffles35 Před 8 lety +7

    I used to just pre-fold my paper towels, and store in a pile, because I didn't want any residue on my baby's skin. Then I kept a spray bottle next to it with simple water in it, but you could do the same thing with this. Adding just a tiny bit of vinegar would help everything preserve longer too. Vinegar has a PH of 5.5 which is the same as the skin, and it won't cause any stinging, even on a cut.... if it's diluted enough. Baby oil isn't really all that healthy either. You are better off using a light scented olive oil or fractionated coconut oil (coconut oil that's in a liquid form).
