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!
if i ever have a second baby I will make my own baby wipes always. this is so easy peasy and it saves SOOOOO MUCH MONEY!!!!! I wish I knew this 6 years ago!!!! before my only child was born!
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!
I like liquid coconut oil and peroxide and any essential oil, and natural as I can find paper towels. Paper towels have lots of chemicals , softeners, bleach, etc.
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
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!
Very helpful ...thank you for making that video.😊 I just made mine with coconut oil and baby oil and I put Bath & Body Works baby body wash and it smells great and it works awesome... thank you again
Thank you! I have become kind of obsessed with baby wipes. And I like to keep atleast one packs in my bookbag at all times. I can't wait to make them. #Respect
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.
alyssa caeytano Good points! This is the simplest formula I think. I have not tried it with coconut oil or tree oil though. I keep meaning to try it that way.
I’m just transferring from bigger wet wipes packs that’s too big to carry around so I diy using zip lock and just needed abit of the wetness so I’m going to follow this method
Thanks sooo much for this video...It is going to save me a lot of money...My BUNDLE OF JOY ARRIVES IN THREE WEEKS and I will definitely have these ready for him!!!!
Glad I found this tired of couponing for wipes now I can use whole roll paper towels last longer and cheaper I thinkaybe adding olive oil may help so one tsp olive one tsp baby oil and depending on size 1 half cups water
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).
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.)
I believe this is more suitable as well, I found the other recipe (I’m still thankful for her way of doing it) but this suits my needs for the use/purpose of the wipes.
Janice Dias I noticed they did on my first dry, I used 2 tsp of oil and then 1 tsp of shampoo. It wasn’t as soapy and suited the purpose of bottom wiping for my kiddos! I also added 1/2 tsp of hydrogen peroxide to defer mold!
Clever and effective. Well done Mama Mittens. I will try your idea and tweek it a little by changing the solution to something that will clean my dirty hands while I am working in my wood shop. Something with a grease and grime cutting capability. Hmmm! Thanks again.
Or I think it's helpful because because if you're a mom of one, if you're a mom of 2 babies, then basically it's going to be very helpful in the way how it is very helpful is, you do have to make sure that its honestly been put in there correctly and you have to do it automatically have to do it so good. 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 just made these... way too much soap and water. I suggest cutting it down in half... 1 cup of water, 1 tablespoon of soap, 1 tablespoon of coconut oil
I know it’s late but It’s probably because your napkins were thinner or of a different brand. Hers are super thick so she needs to use a lot of the solution to evenly coat all of the tissue
No, I never do. I just make sure to keep them in a sealed container. I usually go through them quickly and have never had a problem with mold or anything like that.
I used this same recipe on my kids when they were babies. They are now 21 and 25. They survived these and cloth diapers. We only used plastic diapers at daycare or when away from home. What a huge money saver!
This may sound dumb, but I'm wondering how long they will keep? Just worried about maybe mold or mildew, as it is now it takes over a week to use a wipe pack
mrspumpkinking1 I only make 1 batch at a time to keep them fresh. I typically use these to clean up my son after eating so they usually last a few weeks for me.
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!
These worked lovely! Thank you so much. I was in emergency for wipes but I don't get paid until tomorrow. These were a life saver!
I feel you girl
Is ur butt clean
m
Natalie Williams can u use them for ur bottoms?
@@jillybean9569 if you can use them for your childs butt ofc u can use them for your own butt lol
if i ever have a second baby I will make my own baby wipes always. this is so easy peasy and it saves SOOOOO MUCH MONEY!!!!! I wish I knew this 6 years ago!!!! before my only child was born!
dashizzle1985 I also use them for alot of other things besides babies. They are handy to have around. I think I will try this.

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!
What’s the recipe for that?
Just a side idea since people took the paper towels too. Use wash clothes and wash them and reuse them.
I like liquid coconut oil and peroxide and any essential oil, and natural as I can find paper towels. Paper towels have lots of chemicals , softeners, bleach, etc.
These would be great for taking to a picnic or BBQ - you could use essential oils to scent them differently.
Wow. You don’t know how much we need this right now. Thanks from 6 years later😄
Haha right! I told my hubby people that lived a hundred yrs ago b laughing at us..lol
Be safe 2020!🖤
Love how quick and simple it is to make your own baby wipes!

Thanks for the tip
Using distilled water will help with mold.
+MylifeasDee: Thank you! Good advice!
Paper products, such as paper towels can contain dyes, inks, fragrances, chlorine bleach, formaldehyde, adhesives, and other chemicals.
Theresa Nott hi
Very helpful ...thank you for making that video.😊

Works perfect!!! I also used for taking off my makeup! Works like a charm!!

Yep! Oregon is crazy

Me,I have a baby and I actually ran out of wipes in the midst of all of this😳
AWW , WHERE WAS THIS AT WHEN MY SON WAS FIRST BORN THIS COULD'VE BEEN SO HELPFUL!!!

You will also be surprised by how fast these homemade concoctions will grow mold and mildew, dont make more than you can use fairly quickly
@@amyp6170 i know this is old but if you use distilled water, it shouldn't grow mold quickly.
Exactly what happened to me when I made wipes. I went to use them one day and it was mold everywhere 😲😲😲
Shannon Swift 🤮
Probably it can help to add one teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide to avoid mold. I would also add a pinch of rubbing alcohol.
I have found when I make my own wipes, I use distill water cause it seems to last longer.
+Craftin Bev Good idea!

How much days we can reserve it after making?

Can you use that same recipe for diapering? What kindof paper towls do you get for diapering
Too much soap. I did mine the opposite.
2 cups of hot distill water
1 tsp of shampoo
2 tsp of oil
Works better
Grudge yes I tried it successfully completed
ok
I will try it tomorrow
I believe this is more suitable as well, I found the other recipe (I’m still thankful for her way of doing it) but this suits my needs for the use/purpose of the wipes.
She said in the beginning she was using these particular wipes for cleaning. But I am going to try you version i am in need of wipes bad haha
Wouldn't the soap water smell bad after a while?
this is genius, you are a blessed woman!
These are good but Won't the soap or body wash leave the skin feeling soapy?
Janice Dias I noticed they did on my first dry, I used 2 tsp of oil and then 1 tsp of shampoo. It wasn’t as soapy and suited the purpose of bottom wiping for my kiddos! I also added 1/2 tsp of hydrogen peroxide to defer mold!
About how long do they last before they start to dry up and could you add more solution to them?
what's the lifespan for that before it gets molded?
Hearty thankful for your valuable tips. Stay blessed.
Wow preaty cool 😎 but if I made some I wouldn’t add the oil because my Face is oily as it is.
If I don’t have distilled water how long till it molds ?
just boil tap water then let it cool, the boiling process will sanitize it
Agar baby ko nehlana nhi ho to wipes ka use kr sakte hai use pochne ke liye
Can we use paper tissue
can i use coconut or olive oil instead of baby oil
yes
i reccomend coconut for the healing properties it has (has to be virgin unrefined to get the best result tho)
I used the Dollar Tree brand. What brand of paper towels did you use for this video?
thank you
what brand of paper towels did you use and where can i get them?
can I use jojoba oil instead of baby oil?
Yes this saved us a lot of money
i like the organic paper towels but they are hard to get so i go and find dry wipes so i can make my own
I used the disposable nappy insert bec it's just like the dry wipes instead of kitchen towel.
You should use organic coconut oil and a couple teaspoons of witch hazel or alcohol.
Melissa Gray goose won't alcohol burn
Aja DeJear alcohol is in majority of everything, even baby items.

Looks good. Thanks
Can't wait to make some for my grandson. Thanks for the video.
How did they come through the middle?! 😅
Does anyone know of anythijg more sturdy than paper towel to use?
if i use a pack of baby wipes how can i make these? how much would i add of the baby bath & the baby oil?
Or I think it's helpful because because if you're a mom of one, if you're a mom of 2 babies, then basically it's going to be very helpful in the way how it is very helpful is, you do have to make sure that its honestly been put in there correctly and you have to do it automatically have to do it so good.

Can we use any baby oil and johnson's body wash?
Im sorry but i want to know does the these are save to use after pee? Hope you don't mind to reply
question! I only have baby oil GEL, do you think that this would be effective to? thanks in advance and i love your video, thanks for sharing!
I've never tried that, but it could work.
@@MamaMittens thanks for the speedy reply! I'll do a "trial and error" batch to see if that would work!
qqq
How do they stay moist lol. It’s like magic
Same way Huggies baby wipes do. Duh..
This is so satisfying-
I just made these... way too much soap and water. I suggest cutting it down in half... 1 cup of water, 1 tablespoon of soap, 1 tablespoon of coconut oil
InsideAndOuttt
no need to wash after using it ? what about the soap it will remin on the skin?
I know it’s late but It’s probably because your napkins were thinner or of a different brand. Hers are super thick so she needs to use a lot of the solution to evenly coat all of the tissue
w
Great video ty! Because you used water, is it a Must to use a preservative to keep germs out? Plz advise
No, I never do. I just make sure to keep them in a sealed container. I usually go through them quickly and have never had a problem with mold or anything like that.
MamaMittens :ok great & tks again
blessedjewel56@gmail.com .. It will start to smell mold after 3 weeks in room temp.
can we use normal tissue paper for wipes?? does it works or not ??
It would probably dissolve. Paper towels hold up when wet, tissue and toilet paper don't, really.
I used this same recipe on my kids when they were babies. They are now 21 and 25. They survived these and cloth diapers. We only used plastic diapers at daycare or when away from home. What a huge money saver!
+janclaine1 Yes, this can save tons of money! Thanks for watching :)
If you put soap to those wipes and wipe his butt, how do you remove that soap off? Use a wet towel?
which baby oil to use, massage oil or hair oil ? please tell
How did you get the oil to mix with the water?
Can you put the link of the container in your description?
It's listed there but here's the link - amzn.to/2LpINPa
Since there is soap in it will it irritate the baby's skin ?
Can I use tishu peper
So you have to use baby oil what happens if I don't use oil at all
Great sweet and short.
Phyllis Woods-Harris WoW you're beautiful .💜

I hike and baby wipes are a must for a hygiene bag but I hated to spend the money! This helps a lot!
Hi. Can you tell me from where did you get the container and what size?. Great video!!
I've had the container for years - I actually don't remember where i got it from. You should be able to find one at any store that sells containers.
Thanks!
how long these last ? do these dry out?
How long can this be kept?
Instead of baby oil u could use coconut oil the virgin coconut stuff..Thanks for sharing.
This may sound dumb, but I'm wondering how long they will keep? Just worried about maybe mold or mildew, as it is now it takes over a week to use a wipe pack
mrspumpkinking1 I only make 1 batch at a time to keep them fresh. I typically use these to clean up my son after eating so they usually last a few weeks for me.
Oh I would only do one at a time too! But thank you u answered my question :)
Will paper towels with print be okay?
I haven't tried with print, but I would think it would be ok.
MamaMittens materiales
Is ka tarika plzzzz batae tip batae
Bacteria and mould will grow in these within a couple of days. Better to dampen paper towels with plain warm water just before using them.
D She how do you damped them just in case
e
😂😂 before I found this video, I had used paper towels and water.
MamaMittens, Can you tell me the container brand that you are using? I have a hard time finding the container that fits the paper towel.
+Saidha Banu The brand is Lock & Lock. My mother in law bought them from QVC about 8 years ago. They might still carry them.
+MamaMittens , Thank you. I will check online.
thanks for the tips
Is this okay for newborn?
Does nt it tear apart when pulling it out
How hot is the water?
Love this idea ty
Cleaver idea thanks
How long would these last? I mean, if I don't use the wipes regularly would it still be safe to use after 3 weeks? Thanks.
It should be fine after 3 weeks. Mine lasted for a while but I guess it could also depend on the temperature in your house too.
Is this okay to wipe for a baby girl?
Will these wipes work for cleaning ur cat or dog in between baths? Wipes for cats/dogs are expensive at the store! Sheesh!
Very helpful. Thanks for sharing
does it erupt??
thank you so much!!
Can you PLLLEEEEAAASSEEEE post link for container , Ive been going crazy looking for one that fits !!
Here ya go! amzn.to/2LpINPa
how long do these last before going bad?
I'm not sure, mine never went bad and I had them for over a month.
you can always invert you container to make sure it is saturated completely !!!Love your video... aren't LOCK AND LOCK containers great ?? lol
Yes, I love the Lock containers! They are amazing :)
nice. simple . sweet . 😃😃🍓💜 I love it
How many wipes do you get out of one roll?
