There are several reasons to make you own homemade baby wipes. Some people like them because you can control the chemicals you put on your baby. I have read several of the labels from different baby wipes and most of them I can not even pronounce! Who wants that on your child?! Another, great reason is that they are cheaper to make yourself! All of you already have a baby wash at home you are using and most of of cook using olive oil. So, you are not having to purchase extra items to make these at home.
What You Will Need:
1/2 roll of heavy duty paper towels (Cheap paper towels will not work ~ they will tear ~ I suggest Bounty Paper Towels, White
Plastic Container ~ Rubbermaid Lock-its 14-Cup Square Food-Storage Container with Lid
2 cup boiled water cooled (or distilled or regular water will work if you use them in less than one week)
1 Tablespoon baby wash ~ Look for toxin-free organic products
1 Tablespoon baby oil
You may need to play around with the measurements of the liquids depending on the thickness of the paper towels you are using. Maybe start with half and then add the rest if needed.
Optional: Essential Oils of choice ~ just a few drops
Directions:
- Clean your working area before you begin ~ You don’t want germs in your wipes 🙂
- Cut your paper towel roll in half with a sharp knife. A non-serrated knife sharp knife works best. (save your other have for next time)
- Mix all the liquid ingredients together in a BPA Free measuring cup
.
- Put paper towels in your container and pour liquid evenly going around the top of the paper towels.
- Put you lid on and let soak for approximately 10 minutes.
- Turn your container upside down and allow to sit for another 10 minutes.
- Pull out the center cardboard core and the wipes out from the inside. This should also pull the innermost wipe out and start the “pop-up” feed for you.
- Store your homemade wipes in your plastic container, a gallon-size plastic bag, or re-use an old disposable wipes container.

Meg A says

Tania B says
Who knew? Huh, these would probably help save significantly over buying them in store. What a great tip! THanks
Autumn Miller-Wolfe says
Have you had a great deal of success with these?
How long do they last?
Tina says
I have had great success using these! They work better than wipes for me. I can’t really say how long they last because it depend on which paper towels count your purchase and how often you change diapers each day. 🙂
sandy weinstein says
love this, these would be great to use on my dogs, would save me lots of money. ty.
Sarah L says
This is a great idea. Very useful. Thanks.
Vicki Wurgler says
this should save me money-we use wipes for so many different purposes.
Allyson Bossie says
This is a great recipe and really cuts back on costs. I made them when mine were little, but I liked to have the wipes already torn off and in the container just for convenience. At home though, I always just used a washcloth instead because it was cheaper still.
Julia F. says
Wow, I didn’t know you could make these homemade! How interesting.
jogika says

Connie Saunders says
I am anxious to try this for my granddaughter.
Susan Faatz says
I hada to book mark this so that i could find it again fast to make more It is a great idea
Paarkum Mariano says
This will really help not just for the baby, even for everyone. Wipes is much better than tissue, especially when you need to clean your hand and mouth after eating, or even removing dirt or a lite stain in clothing.
Heather says
Wow I thought the paper towels would just fall apart. This is so neat!
Tina says
You want to make sure to use quality paper towels. Otherwise, they will fall apart.
Mindy Glazer says
I know this may sound silly, but I have actually done this for my dog! He had some problems with his ears, and I put some of the ear solution on paper towels, along with baby oil, cut paper towels that I pre cut into a container, and then I had individual pre cut pre treated medicated wipes to wipe his ears out with! They sell them in the pet stores but they are VERY expensive! They DID dry out after a while, but I just needed to add a drop of warm water to re activate, and it was as good as new! Same concept!
Lesa says
What a great idea! These would be handy just to keep in the car, or around the house. Seems easy to do!
Brandi McAtee says
This is brilliant! These will be great just to have around. My kids are grown, 18 & 20, but some of their friends are having babies (craziness!) so I’m definitely going to share with them. One thing I would like to add if I may: I research essential oils a lot for the body butters, sugar scrubs, & lip balms I make and most people agree to only use lavender and/or chamomile on babies’ sensitive skin. So, if you choose to add EO, stick to those two options 🙂
Sue M. says
This is a terrific idea and very useful information, thank you so much for sharing!
SuzySweeps (Suzanne R) says

Man, I wish I’d known how to make these when I had babysitting jobs! You would not believe how many families I knew would leave me hanging, with neglecting to stay stocked up on supplies, and sprint out the door. This would’ve been such a cool substitute for missing wipes! I’ll pass this tip along.

This is great. I never knew that you can make homemade wipes. Thank you for the information.
Allison H. says
I’m all for DIY solutions to cut costs but there’s nothing in these wipes to act as a preservative. The combination of water and oil feeds and nourishes pathogens and there’s nothing to inhibit their growth.
Kristin K says
This is an ingenious idea!!! Why this hasn’t come into the mainstream for new mothers everywhere is beyond me!!!
Bohemian Babushka (@BBabushka) says
Unfortunately this kind of information wasn’t around when BB had The Trio, but I will definitely share it with my daughter and DIL!! Gracias & BB2U.

Clay Cassin says

heather w says
I love this post.. my daughter hates wipes, and they are so strong and abrasive. I once in a pinch cleaned coffee out of a white dress shirt with wetpipes I had in my car on my way to work. Anything that can get coffee out of a white shirt should not be used on a babies bum
MARIA CRISTINA says
this is awsome can’t wait to try.

I really like this idea. I’ve never liked how many chemicals are listed as ingredients on the baby wipes labels. Making your own wipes is especially good for people that have sensitivities to certain chemicals. Making your own also eliminates all the plastic baby wipes tubs that wind up in the landfill.

Thank you! I needed this, was looking for one this week. My Pug has a UTI and I have been following her with the wipes. Actually works great cleaning her between baths, but costly. Now I can save money.

Thsi great idea, and can be done for face make up removal.
kara kudro says
When I had my first baby we did this exact method after trying the reusable wipes and my husband gagging at the thought of throwing them in the wash:) The paper towels were the best of both worlds, disposable and cheap!
lissa crane says
This is a great way to save money and the bonus is no harsh chemicals! I go through so many baby wipes, between having four kiddo’s and all the messes that go with their clean up, I can’t even keep track! I can’t wait to try this idea!
elizabeth miller says
I’ve never given a thought to making these myself. It actually is a lot easier than you would think.
Melissa J says
This is a great idea. Will have to save for the grandchildren:)

Great post! I don’t have any children, but I do keep a box of baby wipes on-hand. It started when I spotted a box of them at a dollar store, and decided to purchase them in order to have the box (for storage/organization).
