When I was pregnant with Mia, Matt and I decided to try and reduce our waste as much as possible. We do cloth diapers and wanted to do reusable wipes as well.
Over time we’ve realized it was easier for us to have disposable wipes in the diaper bag for outings but when we’re at home we use reusables.
They are insanely easy to make and keep at home. We have a special set of cloths set aside for bum wipes and they are not used for any other purpose.
Wet and ring out the wipes warmer pillow then place in the bottom of warmer. This keeps the wipes wet and warm if you decide to plug it in.If you don't have this you can skip this step
Fold in half and roll the cloths to fit in the container. We do two layers which works out to be about 16 cloths.
Mix the coconut oil into the hot water until dissolved.
Add the castile soap and optional essential oils.
If you choose to use essential oils this is when you would add them.
Our favourite combo is 10 drops tea tree & 10 drops lavender.
Pour over cloths and voila!
Use as needed. When soiled with pee just wash as normal. If soiled with poop just rinse by either swishing in the toilet or using a diaper sprayer.

Here are the exact products we like the best.
These are affiliate links all on Amazon for shopping ease.
*We use the Prince Lionheart Wipes Warmer to hold our cloths. The warming part is not necessary and we’re lazy so we keep it unplugged for easy transport around the house.
*If you do use the wipes warmer you’ll eventually need replacement pillows. This will help keep your wipes wet.
*Our favourite wipes are the Prince Lionheart Warmies.
A cotton flannel or soft baby terry cloth would do the trick as well.
*Since we’re here, this is a link to get the castile soap. Dr. Bronners castile soap. We have the original one but I will try the lavender one when our container runs out.
