We have really enjoyed using these wipes for our daughter. We carry a large package with us when we travel, and the wipes stay moist for weeks after being opened, as long as you reclose them with the adhesive strip. But there is the problem….
Just received a box of these wipes, and Pampers has decided to remove the reclosing feature, meaning that once open, you have to put them into a container. Feh – this is messy, and the wipes are now more exposed to air and will probably dry out. So now we cut open a slot and fashion a closure strap from a piece of packing tape (when we just want the package of wipes without the container.) Pampers: By cutting costs, you may have lost a customer – we’ll look at other, more convenient brands now.

These wipes are great. They are very soft and don’t irritate my daughter’s skin, who is prone to eczema.
They also work in the wipe warmers (when you pull one out, it pulls another one up through the slot like a tissue. The Huggies wipes I tried did not do that, and you had to fish around for a new wipe each time.)
Each package is wrapped in plastic with a resealable strip that holds up to repeated use. The generic wraps I’ve tried often are packaged in thinner plastic that rips when you try to pull open the adhesive cover, or the adhesive loses its stickiness before the last wipe is used.
I keep a package in every room my baby plays in. If I had one complaint it is that 192 wipes is really overkill for the diaper bag, so I put some in a separate container or plastic bag, but that’s the same with all brands I’ve tried (and it’s the perfect amount of wipes for the wipe warmer, which I recommend for anyone who needs to change a diaper in the middle of the night, or whose baby doesn’t like to get changed).

I don’t have anything to add about the quality of this product. They are good. I just wanted to update folks with the fact that I just received a shipment of these and the flap that allows you to open and reseal the package is there. I still have packages of the old ones (we still had a whole box of the ones we ordered over a year ago when my toddler needed them, and we opened it with the arrival of our twins) and the only difference between the old packaging and new packaging is that the old packaging has an arrow and “open here” right by the resealable flap. Now there is no printing indicating the existence of the flap, but it is there.

These wipes are great. I love that they’re thin, because thick wipes just aren’t good at… er… making turns. The thin ones are much easier to use. I’ve used them from day one with my now-2-year-old, and never saw a reason to switch, even though she does not have “sensitive” skin. In fact, she’s only ever had a few diaper rashes, and they weren’t ever severe. I just like the wipes because they feel soft and gentle and are a good size.
Now, the bad… Pampers, what in the world were you thinking when you took away the flap on the top so you could reclose these bags? I ripped open one the first time thinking it was my mistake… nope!
I do NOT bring tubs with me in my diaper bag. In fact, I never even used the tubs at home… always just the refills with the tape-closed tops. Now I have to put the wipes into a tub or a Zip-lock bag, and I can’t appropriately keep them in my diaper bag. Big hassle! I’m looking forward to the end of potty training even more now.
You can still find the kind with the reclosable top, but you have to carefully inspect packaging now– it’s not marked clearly. I wonder if the reclosable ones I got are just old stock that hasn’t been sold yet.

I LOVE these wipes!!! They are strong, yet soft/gentle on my little guys tush. Also, for those mom and dad’s out there that sometimes forget to close the top of the wipe dispensor…. it’s okay. The first wipe might dry out but that’s it. I left the dispensor opened all day and only the first wipe dried out.
And for all those messy blow out poops…these wipes can handle the job! I wouldn’t recommend any other wipe!
I am very disappointed in Pampers. I received a bulk order of wipes and it’s true…. they no longer have the resealable strip. What a huge disappointment in the packaging of this great product!!!! I don’t mind using the plastic tub at home but when I travel or provide wipes for daycare, the resealable strip is more convenient. Kelley Secondo
