Pampers Sensitive Baby Wipes Refills, 192-Count Packages, Pack of Four (768 wipes) Review.
"The flap is back." 2009-11-01
By Michael McClure (Seattle, WA)
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.
"Great for sensitive skin; packaging holds up to repeated use" 2009-01-06
By Simbolina (Bellevue, WA USA)
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).
"Pampers are perfect :)" 2008-12-23
By Sarah R. Montee (Milwaukee, WI USA)
We had initially purchased a tub of wipes with the plastic dispenser case - this is the perfect followup to that tub... Keep the tub and buy these - they are very economical if bought from amazon in bulk like this and you don't have to keep throwing away the tubs - these insert packs are great...and with free super-saver shipping you really can't go wrong! (No I'm not paid by amazon, but I know a good deal when I see one) :)
"BEST WIPES ON THE MARKET, BY FAR!" 2009-03-01
By Bladen's Mommy (Memphis, TN)
I was told to use Pampers wipes and diapers from the beginning, but received some of the Huggies wipes at my shower. I decided to use them and they were like sand paper compared to Pampers brand. Yes, they are thicker, but the Pampers remove the poo just as well, if not better. I went by what would feel best to my baby, and that was the Pampers, as I knew they felt better to me. I can't say enough good things about Pampers wipes and diapers for that matter. I didn't even use the rest of the pack of Huggies, on my baby, I just couldn't do it. I hope this helps any parent trying to choose the best thing for their baby
"LOVE these Wipes!!!" 2009-08-07
By Kelley J. Secondo (Burlington, VT USA)
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

Pampers Baby-Dry Diapers, Size 4 (22-37 Lbs), Economy Plus Pack, 176 Diapers Review.
"Best diaper on the market for the past decade!" 2009-03-17
By Luzu (Tennessee)
I am a stay at home Mom with 4 children. I have been buying diapers for the past almost 11 years and Pampers Baby Dry is hands down the best diaper on the market, and believe me I have tried them all! All of my kids have been "super soakers" when it comes to pee. These diapers way out perform any other brand including major brands and department store brands. The major selling points for me are:
1. They are thin, easy to pack 5 in a diaper bag.
2. Easy to unfold with one hand (if you, like me frequently have to use the other hand to keep baby still)
3. tabs are easily opened without extra unfolding and don't rip off like several other brands.
4. Doesn't leave residue on baby or smell like pee when really soaked.
5. wider in the front to prevent baby from peeing out the side (and my kids are experts at this)
One thing that may be helpful is to remember that Pampers fit better on children that are long and skinny. If your baby is short and really chubby in the bottom, then Huggies will fit your baby better. This, I believe, explains the few complaints about Pampers not fitting or leaking.
Hope this review was helpful!
"Best diapers out there!" 2008-06-20
By T. Ellis (Ogden, UT)
When our first child was born we tried every diaper at the store. We couldn't get a diaper to last him through the night without leaking. Pampers was the only diaper that would not leak through night. I prefer the green box to the purple box (cruisers) because the purple box diapers leave some gel looking residue on the baby's skin. We are now onto our second child and he just turned two. We still swear by Pampers diapers. I agree that their wipes aren't as good as Huggies.
"~*~EVERY BRAND OF DIAPER LEAKS/EXPLODES AT SOME POINT BUT PAMPERS ARE THE BEST~*~" 2009-11-30
By Mommy of Cuties M & Z (USA)
My girls are 13 months old so I have had a LOT of experience with many different brands of diapers as well as diaper problems. Pampers Swaddlers & Pampers Baby Dry are our favorite and work better for us than any other brand.
We've tried:
*Luvs-terrible, leaky diaper, may as well flush your money down the toilet if you buy these
*CVS brand-terrible, leaky diaper, someone told us they worked well but they don't
*Parents Choice-okay but always leaked at night or on car rides
*Huggies-okay/good. When my girls were wearing size 1-2 we switched from Pampers to Huggies since they were cheaper & Huggies is a good brand. Most of the time Huggies were fine BUT on a regular basis they were leaking at night or on car rides. Once my girls started wearing size 3, the overnight leaks grew more and more and so did the car ride leaks(and not a long car ride) My girls are 17lbs & 20lbs and it seemed like there was not enough material on the front part that goes over their legs/sides of belly. After about a week straight of my daughter waking up completely soaked from her leaky Huggie, we switched back to Pampers.
*Pampers Swaddlers-WONDERFUL for a newborn. My girls were Preemies when they were born & the hospital put them in newborn size Swaddlers folded way over. They were big on my girls but since they are so soft & flexible it was not a problem. We LOVED the Swaddlers.
*Pampers Baby Dry-WONDERFUL once they outgrow Swaddlers. As I stated EVERY brand of diaper will leak or explode at sometime but with Pampers it happens way less often. Since I switched from Huggies where I dealt with a leaky or exploded diaper EVERY single night & EVERY single car ride with 1 of my daughters, I have had 1 diaper explosion from Pampers. My daughter drinks a 10oz bottle before bed so she does pee a LOT. Every car ride since switching to Pampers has been a dry one. In the mornings these diapers are full but the sides of my daughters outfits around the legs are dry-unlike the huggies where even if the diaper didn't leak, the side/legs of the diaper were damp and would always get my daughters outfits damp. Pampers also have more material so they are easy to get them to fit around my daughters legs/sides of belly. Pampers are also softer than any other diaper & more flexible. They also smell good!
Hands down Pampers are the BEST Diaper on the market and the only ones we'll ever use again...unless someone else comes out with something better.
Also, I've seen some people say that Huggies work better than Pampers if you have a chubby baby. I disagree. When one of my daughters was younger she was short & really chubby & the Pampers fit her better than anything else...they have the most material to go around the belly & are the most flexible.
BabiesRus has the cheapest price for diapers & you can use coupons.
Pampers may usually be more expensive than other brands but to have a happier & dry baby is WELL worth it. Not to mention washing sheets, clothes & car seat covers adds to the cost of the other diapers.
"These are Great" 2010-04-03
By Ann Hoffman (Concord, CA)
These diapers retain wetness and don't leak out the sides. For all those hard players who don't have time to have a diaper change. They are soft and don't bunch up. They are comfortable for the babies' bottoms. The straps don't tear off like other ones. What a waist that is! Don't you hate the diapers that don't do the job? I do. After I started buying these, we've had no more accidents. When you buy Pampers baby diapers, you don't have to worry and you get your moneys worth. And they are easy to put in diaper bags, so no more stuffing them till they are bursting at the seams. These are great!
"Great diapers! Be careful how you fasten the front at night!" 2010-06-07
By Jason in CA (San Gabriel, CA)
These diapers work great. We rarely have any leaks except the first time we used the diaper overnight. At nighttime, make sure to fasten the tapes as high as possible across the front of the diaper. There is a lot of absorbent material in the front of the diaper. If you fasten the tapes to low, the top of the diaper tends to roll over exposing some of the absorbent material and your baby's clothes will get wet if they pee a lot at night. This is not an issue for us during the day because we change the diapers often enough that it does not get as saturated.

Seventh Generation Chlorine Free Baby Diapers, Stage 4 (22-37 Lbs.), Case of 120 Diapers [Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging] Review.
"Amazing Diapers!" 2007-12-17
By Sara M (Houston, Texas)
I first bought these diapers for my daughter when she got her first bad diaper rash at about a month old. It was one of those rashes that looked as though her skin had been set on fire and nothing seemed to be helping it. I had tried everything and thought maybe these chlorine free diapers and wipes will do something for her. To my amazement, her diaper rash went away within a day and a half of using the diapers and wipes from Seventh Generation. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it for myself! I think that really speakes volumes about the danger of whatever chemicals being are put into the other diaper brands. These are now the ONLY brand of diapers I will buy for my kids.
"like these diapers!" 2008-02-03
By Akratt (Chicago, IL, USA)
These diapers have worked really well for us with our newborn. They fit her well and are very absorbent. Plus, they are better for the environment so that is a big bonus.
"LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE DIAPERS!!" 2008-06-24
By Christine D. Petron (Indiana)
I LOVE these diapers! I have a 2 yr old and an 8 month old and i have tried all the diapers out there! I love that they don't have a smell to them and they hold everything in! They are better for my kids skin and I prefer the plain brown color over elmo! They are awesome but i wish that more stores sold them. I prefer to buy them on here (amazon) so i get the free shipping which is great, plus i got them in just 3 days! I have just received a defected pack (which has never happened before!) so i called customer service and they are sending me replacement ones...very nice customer service! I would and have recommended them to everyone! Thanks for such a great product...i love your cleaning supplies too!
"the best diapers" 2008-07-02
By Margaret (PA)
not much of a price difference between these 7th generation diapers and pampers or huggies, but much of a quality difference. we've had very little diaper rash - only very early on - and there was no gel reside like there was with the pampers we tried. excellent product.
"Best Diapers for Sensitive Bums!" 2008-05-01
By OC Jennifer (Ladera Ranch, CA)
My 21 month old has very sensitive skin, and "conventional" disposable diapers caused him to get frequent diaper rash. Since the cloth diaper route wasn't really an option for us, I tried a few chlorine-free alternatives before settling on this brand. Seventh Generation Diapers are cut well to minimize chafing, they are a nice neutral color as opposed to covered in characters and bright colors, and they absorb fluid well. Only time I've ever had a problem is when my son drinks tons of liquids in the afternoon and evening, for if I don't change his diaper right away when he wakes up in the morning he will start to leak. But in his defense he does sleep for 11 hours straight, so I would expect leaks at that point. Under normal circumstances these diapers perform just as well as Pampers Cruisers and Huggies, yet they are environmentally more friendly and much kinder to sensitive bums which makes them leaps and bounds better in my book.

Vulli Sophie the Giraffe Teether, Brown/ White Review.
"Totally lives up to the hype--We love Sophie!" 2009-06-04
By S. Hogan (Orange County, CA)
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R5I5PIC436TAZ My name is Shelby and this is my video review of my 5-month-old son playing with Sophie the Giraffe. We love Sophie. She is very well-made and I hope seeing Sophie in action will be helpful to others. Also, I think I repeat myself a little in the video--sorry about that!
"Don't let the price deter you!" 2008-10-12
By L. Cabrera (Bellingham, WA USA)
My 5 month old daughter LOVES her Sophie the Giraffe toy! This toy is absolutely wonderful in every way. Sophie is made of soft rubber and makes a pleasant-sounding squeak whenever any part of her body is squeezed, so even a young baby can elicit a reaction from the toy with minimal effort.
I don't know what it is about Sophie, but whenever my daughter plays with her, she gets very vocal and talkative.
I saw another review which referred to this toy as "a glorified dog toy". That reviewer is mistaken, and simply doesn't realize the value of this toy.
- Sophie's body, while soft, has several areas of thicker rubber (the nubs on her head, her ears, and her feet) which are perfect for teething babies to gnaw on for relief.
- Sophie's contrasting colors (spots) are visually stimulating to a baby.
- She is easy to grip given her long, thin neck.
- This toy is made of 100% natural rubber and uses food-grade paint (SAFE!).
- This is a quality baby toy which will last for many years.
I would much rather pay $20 for a safe, engaging toy for my baby, than pay $5 for some piece of junk with lead paint.
"Sophie is GREAT" 2008-02-14
By Diana Brady (Nashville, Tennessee USA)
It is so refreshing to not have to worry about letting your child put something in his/her mouth!!! With all the worries of lead paint, this product is a a great reliever! It is made in the French Alps with natural rubber and non-toxic paint which made it's selling point with me. My child loves it and the size is perfect for little hands. I recommend this product!
"Her *favorite* toy!!" 2008-01-19
By Joanne Pasternack (Mountain View, CA)
My four month old is obsessed with Sophie. She can't get enough of it. It is easy for her to hold and bring to her mouth. She just started to teeth and Sophie appears to give her some relief. She also loves the "squeak" sound it makes and is able to make it squeak all by herself. I love that it is easy to wash, small, and not cutesy or fussy. Although it is more expensive than other toys, it is worth it. I highly recommend this item.
"Chomp Chomp" 2009-02-27
By R. Hogue
This was an impulse buy, we have all been there, what got me was the reviews and the fact that my baby girl was teething and I just wanted something that she could really chomp on. Sophie is the winner. She has a cute face, she is french, and she squeaks, what more could you want. Oh and I read some reviews about the legs being choking hazards and think this is a bit ridiculous; first, use your own judgement as to whether your baby is old enough and strong enough to pull a toy out of their mouths if they gag; second, don't confuse gagging and choking. The gag reflex is a good thing and my baby girl gags on her own fingers and hands much more than Sophie. I like Sophie's spots and I like that she is made out of natural rubber that has a great familiar smell and is soft to touch. Great teether. Chomp, Chomp, Squeak, Squeak.

Seventh Generation Baby Wipes Refills, Chlorine Free and Unscented, 70-Count Packs (Pack of 12) (840 Wipes) [Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging] Review.
"These are the perfect baby wipe!" 2006-06-03
By J. Lien (Beautiful Washington State)
I love these baby wipes. They're strong, they stay moist, and they don't leave residue or a scent on the baby. My daughter doesn't get diaper rash from them either. Because they contain aloe, they're good for my hands, too, which helps because new moms are constantly washing their hands. I haven't found any place other than Amazon where they're cheaper - Amazon is the place to buy them. I've also purchased a case of the travel size wipes for the diaper bag - they're perfect. I was actually given a case of huggies wipes at my baby shower and haven't used them because I like the Seventh Generation ones better. What could be better than a product that really works well and is better for the planet than the other choices out there? I won't change brands after finding these!
"Wonderful product!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" 2006-03-16
By Older But Wiser Mom (New England, USA)
I have used these baby wipes---exclusively---with my son since he was born. They cost more but are definitely worth it when you consider how sensitive a baby's skin is, particularly during the first year of rapid growth. Buying these from Amazon.com has also saved us so much money and hassle! My son has never had diaper rash, and I love that this product not only smells 100 times better than other baby wipes but also helps the environment. The wipes are made without the use of chlorine and do not contain any unknown chemicals. Seventh Generation always discloses the ingredients in their products. There isn't a generic ingredient like "fragrance" on the label, which could mean 100 or more different ingredients. I like knowing exactly what my baby's skin has been exposed to. I also like supporting Seventh Generation, a wonderful company!!
"Great wipes!" 2006-03-31
By B. Lee
These are the best because they don't leave a slimy residue like the "major brands". We used these on our baby since birth and no diaper rash ever. Good deal on Amazon when you buy a case. I wish they were a little more moist (they seem a little drier than Huggies, Pampers, Costco etc) but that's just personal preference.
UPDATE: I ordered another case in March 2006. Wipes were noticably more moist and packaging changed. Great improvement.
"Best Baby Wipes" 2006-01-24
By Finally a momma (St. Louis, MO, USA)
I love 7th Generation products. They are chemical free and safe and healthy to have in your home. When I knew we were having a baby, I knew I could not wipe her with regular brand wipes due to the chemicals and bleaching meathods. I am particular about what I put on my body, knowthing that everything you put on your skin is absorbed into the blood stream. So, I certainly had to find a healthy wipe for my daughter. There was another non-chemical brand that I tried. She ended up with a diaper rash. The 7th Generation wipes clean well are strong and have kept her rash free. For me there is no other wipe for my little treasure.
"What a deal!" 2006-05-25
By K. Mccarley
I have been buying these wipes from drugstore.com for a year now. I can't believe the savings by purchasing a case from Amazon. I usually buy 8 pkgs at $4.24 a pop. This will save me $15 by buying them here. I strongly recommend these wipes over any of the wipes out there. No irritation on my babies' sensitive bottoms.

Pampers Baby Fresh Wipes, 720-count Box Review.
"LOve them" 2010-03-08
By mom of three (Aledo, IL)
I love these wipes! They aren't too thick and the odor is nice and gently. Some of the other wipes had a strong odor, but this wipe is great. I also love that it came with another container! If I don't need it to replace the wipes, I use my extra containers for crayons, markers, match box cars, and legos!
"Great product at a great price!" 2010-03-08
By Ed (Philadelphia, PA)
I am happy that Amazon has the Subscribe and Save service since we are able to save money on an item we need and can schedule the delivery to arrive when we needed it. Excellent product and service!
"Love it!" 2010-04-22
By Detty N. Wools (Wallops Island, VA)
My son and I love this product. It's not too thick, not too thin, and it smells wonderful. And I think the price is great for 720-count Box!
"LOVE these!" 2010-06-09
By R. Hillman
These are, in my opinion, the best baby wipes you can get. Pampers' classic wipes are fantastic (their thick ones are AWFUL, though), we've been using them for years. Personally, the babyfresh scent is my favorite. Unscented are great too, but I really love these. Thank you, Pampers!
"Great wipes, Great price!" 2010-06-14
By Amazon Addict (South Carolina)
Pampers wipes are my favorite, and I was so glad to get them for such a great price here! They are the softest, gentlest wipes on the market, in my opinion, and why not get them when you can get spend less money on Amazon than in the stores?!
