Baby wipes- they’re not just for babies!

This article sponsored by Huggies, but thoughts are all my own. 

 

I have a confession to make. I no longer have a baby, but still use baby wipes. Yep, still. Obviously, not in the way a parent normally uses a baby wipe, but they are incredibly convenient!

Raising four children, we have used our share of baby wipes. I grew accustomed to having them with me all the time. When the diaper bag went away and I went to a regular purse, I still wanted to carry wipes for their convenience. To keep wipes with me, I used to buy a tub of them and put a few in a Ziploc bag. Not very attractive. And not very practical.

 

 

Once I found these Huggies Clutch and Carry wipes, I was hooked!

The clutch container fits nicely in my purse. It doesn’t “scream” baby wipes. It holds just enough wipes to be useful, but not so many to be cumbersome. The clutch is large enough to slip a small container of Neosporin and a few Band-Aids in it. It is a durable case that holds up to wear. The zip top closes easily, but completely. One thing I love is the easy-to-use strap. I tend to hook it onto the handle of my purse, making grabbing it super simple. 

 

What do I use the wipes for? You name it! Cleaning a dirty face, wiping hands before eating, cleaning the dashboard of the car (yes, I grew a bit bored waiting for my beloved one day), wiping the handles of grocery carts, and so much more. Not long ago, the girls and I made a trip to Nashville. On the way there, we had a bit of car trouble. I had the hood up, my hubby on the other end of the cell phone, and my hands in the engine well. Yep, greasy hands was the result (we also got where we were headed with no further incident). Without the wipes, I would have spread that grease and oil all over- the car, my clothes, etc. 

 

Around here, we also like to swim in the creek during the hot months. At one creek, there is an outdoor potty, but not the best “accomodations”. Having this package of wipes along is just the ticket. It’s more discreet than carrying a roll of toilet paper (!) and does a better job! I like to be sure to have wipes along with us when we visit places that will only have the “Porta Potties”. Never know how clean they are, or what will be available once inside. Being prepared is a much better way to be! 

 

Wipes are not just for babies! They are my secret weapon in keeping clean. I like the scent, the strength, the size, and the convenience of baby wipes. 

 

These cute clutches come in three styles and are affordably priced. Pick one up the next time you’re shopping and see if the love for baby wipes doesn’t return to you (if you’re like me and past the baby stage- if you still have little people, you probably already know about these little gems!)

See those hands? They are the hands of my 11 year old daughter, reaching for a wipe to clean the chip grease off of her hands when we were at a fireworks show over the weekend.
