When I made the decision to cloth diaper, I had so many questions; not just about cloth diapers, but other things, like wipe solution… What would I do for wipe solution? How do I know which kind is good, what works best?
I looked up ways to make my own wipe solution, but wasn’t really thrilled at the idea. I had enough to worry about, learning about cloth diapers, without adding that in. Someone told me that they just used water on their cloth wipes, but that didn’t seem like the best idea to me, especially with poo diapers. I finally settled on wipe cubes, which worked well enough, but I still wondered if
something better was out there.
So when I heard about Baby Fresh Cleanser by Bebe Bottom Skincare, I knew I had to get more info!
Baby Fresh Cleanser was created by Marli, a mommy of 3 who wanted to find a better way of dealing with the mess and odor that came along with changing diapers. Baby Fresh Cleanser loosens the poop and pee and helps reduce the odor causing and diaper rash causing bacteria, leaving a protective barrier of aloe and glycerin on baby’s sensitive skin to help prevent future
diaper rash.
As soon as I got this cleanser in the mail to review, Connor gave me the opportunity to use it. He had quite a poo mess, and I was slightly surprised- and a bit in disbelief- when I read that all I
needed to do was spray the cleanser on the diaper area, let it sit for 10 seconds and wipe away, with no need to rinse! I followed the directions still in disbelief; until I was done. Then I was in awe.
Previously, with a diaper that messy, it took a few wet wipes to get rid of the mess. This
took me one wipe; one dry wipe. The mess came right off, no need for rubbing or using much pressure while wiping; better for me and better for Connor’s sensitive tooshie! And, just as the bottle said, there was an obvious barrier left on his skin. Best of all, the nasty poo smell was gone! *One caution: The initial smell of the cleanser upon spraying was much stronger than
I expected, and I was a bit overwhelmed with it at first. However, the initial strength quickly diminishes and baby’s bottom is left smelling fresh and clean!
Another thing I love about Baby Fresh Cleanser: With average use, the 8oz bottle should last me a couple months or more! I’m not sure how your experience is with wipe cubes/solution, but I don’t make it more than a couple of weeks before needing more!
FYI: While Baby Fresh Cleanser is not marketed for cloth diapers, many cloth diapering momshave used it with their babies and experienced no issues. Each of the listed ingredients are also safe for cloth, so I’m not worried that I’ll experience any issues in the future.
I am thrilled to have Baby Fresh Cleanser, and know if you try it you won’t go back to the “other” wipe solution again!
