Baby wipe recommendations

As previously mentioned  I am a picky shopper. Needless to say I've been frustrated when I've bought "name brand" wipes and they were terrible. So, here I share with you my hunt for the best baby wipes, and these are my recommendations:

Huggies wipes

I've bought several versions of Huggies wipes and this "natural care fragrance free" are my favorite of the Huggies. Some of the other versions have funk smells, and it's nice that these are fragrance free. They are nice and thick as promised and do not stretch easily. They do tear, but you have to be intentional in doing so, they won't just tear from wiping. These aren't the kind I regularly buy, because my most favorite are cheaper, but these run a close second.

Pampers wipes

Worst. Wipes. Ever. I got a case of these as a gift so I felt obligated to use them, but they were terrible. They are thin and they stretch super easy. If you're going to fork out the moolah for cheap wipes, then buy cheap wipes. I used so many more of these than any other kind and they were a waste. Plus the packaging was obscure...they were refill sized packs but you had no good way of resealing them after opening them so they dried out really quick.

Simply Right wipes

This is the Sam's Club brand of wipes and I live by these. They are absolutely hands down the best wipe I have ever used. They have a slight texture on one side for the extra pickup, they are thick, don't tear or stretch, and they are unscented. We keep our membership just for these wipes and for the same price as Huggies you get 100 more wipes. The packaging has a nice flip top on every pack which means they travel well and don't dry out.

Target brand wipes

These store brand wipes are what you'd expect from a store brand, but I would still take these over Pampers wipes. The upside is that they are inexpensive but still a decent wipe. They have a slight texture but they do stretch a little more than I'd prefer. I usually buy a single pack if I'm desperate, and I'm okay with that.

Smith's brand wipes

These wipes remind me of the little moist towelettes you get from KFC. Same feel and about the same quality. And I guess that any wipe will work if you're in a bind, but I wouldn't recommend these too much. The upside is that they are pretty strong considering they are a store brand, meaning they tear and stretch less than Target or Pampers wipes.
