Have been using flannels since the boys were about 6 or 7 months old. Just bought a whole lot of cheap ones from the warehouse all in the same colour so I can tell my guests that the blue ones are poo ones lol.
I find they can get abit hard feeling every now and them so I dry them in the dryer to soften.

Yep Bekkie, I use those - just plain nappy liners.
Not entirely practical for toddler poos so I have larger flannels too!

I'd say go with looooots of thin flannels. The thick, normal type of flannel is just too big for getting into creases to remove stuff. (You'd be suprised where it ends up!!!)]]> Wed, 28 Jun 2006 20:56:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2989&PID=55931&title=baby-wipes-ooohhh-very-exciting#55931 <![CDATA[baby wipes... ooohhh very exciting! : As others have said all cloth...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2989&PID=55890&title=baby-wipes-ooohhh-very-exciting#55890 Author: Paws

As others have said all cloth nappy websites sell them. I've got some disposable ones but I want to pick up some fuzzi's wipes as well. Face clothes are also a great cheap option.

I think it's Green Beanz also have some very cool ones. I think one option they use is sherpa and that is so soft! I have a sample one at home.]]> Wed, 28 Jun 2006 16:51:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2989&PID=55890&title=baby-wipes-ooohhh-very-exciting#55890 <![CDATA[baby wipes... ooohhh very exciting! : My midwife told me about the nappy...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2989&PID=55887&title=baby-wipes-ooohhh-very-exciting#55887 Author: bekkie

My midwife told me about the nappy liners you can buy from the supermarket, they look like chux clothes. They come from Johnson&Johnson in a pack of 100. In a white box about $7.

My friend uses the wash clothes that u can get in packs of 6 from T&T for about $6.

you can get some really cool ones on trademe, search through cloth nappies and they should come up too. We ended up just cutting up an old nappie that had ripped ( yes, we used the "old style" cloth nappies, folded cloth squares ) and then putting them in a container to store until i needed them. no more work than disposable wipes, as you normally gather everything together when changing a nappy, so going and wetting a cloth with warm water only takes 2 seconds longer. whatever fabric you have around, but preferably something with a little bit of grip to it, but of course make it soft...]]> Wed, 28 Jun 2006 09:59:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2989&PID=55749&title=baby-wipes-ooohhh-very-exciting#55749 <![CDATA[baby wipes... ooohhh very exciting! : my mum made me up some muslin...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2989&PID=55744&title=baby-wipes-ooohhh-very-exciting#55744 Author: mum2emj

my mum made me up some muslin cloths and they were great. we had used the odd baby wipe and it irritated both of my girls bottoms when they were newborn and young so we only used the cloths. extra washing but it helped their bottoms ]]> Wed, 28 Jun 2006 09:53:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2989&PID=55744&title=baby-wipes-ooohhh-very-exciting#55744 <![CDATA[baby wipes... ooohhh very exciting! : Farmers had some white soft cotton...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2989&PID=55737&title=baby-wipes-ooohhh-very-exciting#55737 Author: littlejo

Farmers had some white soft cotton cloths (about face cloth size) in a 5 or 10 pack too. They are just overlocked around the edges, so probably pretty easy to make too if you just found some soft fabric.]]> Wed, 28 Jun 2006 09:34:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2989&PID=55737&title=baby-wipes-ooohhh-very-exciting#55737 <![CDATA[baby wipes... ooohhh very exciting! : I&#039;m not sure if this is what...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2989&PID=55730&title=baby-wipes-ooohhh-very-exciting#55730 Author: caraMel

I'm not sure if this is what people are using these days but my Mum told me she used the thin muslin washcloths on our bottoms.
I've used them on occasion when Ella's had very sore nappy rash, rather that putting chemicals on there. They work pretty well.
You can buy muslin very cheaply at spotlight (or similar) and its just a matter of cutting it into squares and edging them. ]]> Wed, 28 Jun 2006 09:23:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2989&PID=55730&title=baby-wipes-ooohhh-very-exciting#55730 <![CDATA[baby wipes... ooohhh very exciting! : I bought soft little flannels...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2989&PID=55728&title=baby-wipes-ooohhh-very-exciting#55728 Author: aimeejoy

welcome to the most boring thread yet to be posted!!!

I have a wee question - in an old thread, some people mentioned baby wipes that are washable and re-usable, and you can use them dipped in warm water, rather than using disposable (and chemical-ridden) wipes for baby's nappy changes. 

What are people using for these?  Can you buy them?  Where from?  Or do people make them out of muslin nappies or something?  I'm planning on organising about 20 or so, but don't know what to use.
