Some things are so handy and convenient to use that we use them everyday, everywhere and on every thing. Baby wipes come in this category.
Yes, I am talking about the same baby wipes that we use to clean our munchkin’s sensitive skin.
Other than cleaning baby bottoms, baby wipes have so many other uses that once you get the hang of using them you can’t possibly imagine a life without them (like me)
20 Alternative Uses of Baby Wipes Mothers Have Found Out:
Baby wipes are designed for cleaning baby bums and diaper area. But I am sure every mother will be using baby wipes for N number of alternative uses.
I agree that there are standard products available in the market meant for the below listed jobs. But trust me baby wipes are handy substitute for them.
All mommies will agree to me if I say that the ‘use and throw‘ factor of baby wipes is what makes us use them more and more.
With all these uses it is not surprising that the supply of baby wipes disappears so fast in our houses
