Parent Panel review by Jayne

I found the system quite easy to use once I got the hang of it. It took me a couple of go's to get the mix of water and essential oils right though and I didn't like the smell of either oil. The first time I put too much in and every time I opened the dirty box I gagged on the smell. I used them out and about as well and found the bags of wipes just as easy as disposable wipes.
Unfortunately my fiance didn't agree with me and after changing an extremely disgusting nappy using the cheeky wipes, he refused to use them again as he found it too messy. The wipes came out stained after that wash despite washing at 60 degrees and using stain remover, which I was disappointed with. I thought they were quite expensive but would work out much cheaper in the long run so if you've got a bit of patience and like to do your bit for the environment it's a good idea to use them and just buy the odd box of disposable ones for emergencies.
| Best Feature: re-usable so kind to the environment |
| Worst Feature: the smell of the oils |
| Verdict: Would recommend them only to someone with patience who's environmentally aware |

"Goodbye to disposable baby wipes"
I really liked this reusable baby wipe system. Everything is provided in the kit, 25 cloth wipes, containers and net bag for washing along with travel bags and essential oils. The flannel-like cloths are just the right size for cleaning baby and the essential oils provided are just right, not too over powering. I found the net bag provided for the dirty wipes really easy just to shove into the washing machine. I must admit I didn't really use the bags provided for “out and about” use, I found this a little too much (I am afraid I opt for the expensive disposable type). But in the home I found the system excellent and will definitely recommend them to a friend.

"great product for natural planet saving wipes"
I think this product is great. The system (terry towelling wipes, one tub for clean wipes, one for wet wipes, two bags for day trips, nets to keep wipes in, essential oils) is easy to use. The essential oils are natural and make the wipes smell lovely whether clean or dirty. The wipes themselves are soft especially if tumble dried although this isn’t necessary and clean wet wipes can be placed back in the tub. They are a good size and I only needed generally one wipe per bottom change and one wipe per hand and face wipe. They are like little flannels so can be used for a strip wash too. I found the tub lids a little fiddly and for some reason my wipes escaped from the net bag during a wash, but they washed easily. This is a great product for anyone who wants to save money and the planet by dumping disposable wipes for re-useables. They are much easier than real nappies (no drying needed) and can be chucked in with any white wash. It would make a brilliant new baby gift or item on a baby shower list. I will definitely recommend this to friends. Although the price is a bit expensive you are buying into a system which is ready to go.
