Baby wipes are good for much more than wiping your baby's bottom. Not only for baby's and kids either!
There are many disposable personal wipes of different types in stores. Some for babies, some marketed for wiping up kid messes, make up removers, skin cleansing, hygienic wipes, etc. So, why waste money on a different wipe for everything. I have found that, for most things, baby wipes are the way to go. They are gentle enough for a baby's skin, so why not kids and adults as well? They are large, thick and soft moist cloths and are much cheaper than most other wipes. They come in unscented and hypoallergenic for people who may have irritations. You can also find them made of organic materials. Here is a list of things they work good for and a price comparison to similar products.
Makeup Remover:
Almost every day, I apply makeup. I am one of those who feel "naked" without it. I have found that washing makeup off with soap can get messy and irritate my eyes. The next best thing? Facial cleansing cloths and eye makeup removers. However, these wipes are expensive at about 20 cents a wipe, are small and are very specific to being a facial wipe. I prefer baby wipes for makeup removal. They wipe away makeup easily and leave my skin feeling refreshed.
Personal Cleansing cloths:
Another product I see on the market are "personal" cleansing cloths. The ones you find usually near the toilet paper, basically an adult baby wipe. These too are fairly expensive, yet less expensive than makeup removal wipes at about 10 cents a wipe. They tend to dry out quick if you don't use them often, rendering them useless. Baby wipes, naturally would work well for this. Unlike most personal cleansing cloths however, they are not flushable.
Kid's Flushable wipes:
There are basically baby wipes targeted to kids so they can jack up the price as well.
Other uses:
Baby wipes work well for quick spills, face wipes, wet naps (think of eating chicken wings with no wet naps) and other uses.
Cost comparison:
This cost comparison is based on a quick search on Amanzon.com
Huggies/ Pampers baby wipes- $0.03 to $0.04 cents per wipe
Facial cleansing/ makeup removal wipes (Neutrogena, Ponds, Noxema) - $0.16 to $0.20 per wipe
Personal Cleansing wipes (Cottonelle, Charmin, Wet Ones)- $0.06 to $0.10 cents per wipe.
On average, you'd save 50% or more.
