The Best Paper Towels for Making Homemade Baby Wipes

Today, one of my readers asked me what kind of paper towels I used for making baby wipes.  She had made them and thought they were thin.  The first batch I made were thin too.  I used Scotts select-a-size when I made my first batch of wipes and they were too thin and small.  I used them until they were gone, but they were not very effective.  The best towels I have found for making wipes are Bounty (not select-a-size).  I buy them in large bulk packages.  You can get good deals when they are on sale and use coupons.  

Also, you will need a tall round or square container that will hold a roll of paper towels that has been cut in half.  I use a large serrated knife (reserved for only cutting paper towels) to cut the roll in half.  I use scissors to remove the cardboard in the center of the roll.  I have forgotten to remove the cardboard center a few times.  It slips right out when it is wet from the homemade wipes solution.  I have two canisters and can make two rolls at a time so that I can have wipes in more than one room of the house and so that I never run out.  The canisters that I use were around $6 each at Wal-mart.  They are the Better Homes and Garden brand.  

Here is the link again for the Homemade Baby Wipes.  These are great baby wipes and will save you a lot of money.  Feel free to send any questions my way.
