Any One Use These

Post by slaaplekker » Fri Oct 01, 2010 11:01 pm

Having a bit of OCD - I go through Anti-bacterial wipes pretty quickly. I know folks have a love hate relationship with this store but at W I've been buying the Equate Anti-Bacterial Wipes for a number of years. Got on APAP back in May and because of my super sensitive skin, I had to find a mask liner of some sort. Decided to give the wipes a try after they dry out. Since they are woven material hold together well enough to function as a liner. I take two and let them dry out for a few hours then just cut them to fit and tape them to whichever mask I need a liner for.

The price is right I think it is a $1.50 for 40 wipes and they have two different scents though after they dry they don't really smell very strong so no problems there. They are super soft when dry. When my Rosacea is really acting up I sometimes need to add something even softer and will put a dual layer of facial tissue between on top of them. It isn't pretty but if you are looking for something to try as a disposable liner you might want to give it a whirl.

I'm getting ready to cut some out right now - they seem to be good for a couple of days - YMV

Hmmmmm I'd have to think about this. Now these equate wipes. Are they to wipe down a surface or wipe on skin? So we could probably use dried out sensitive skin type baby wipes then

Vewwy vewwy interesting idea. Thanks

Yes for the Skin

The label says Moisturizing Towelettes, with Vitamin E and Aloe Vera. I use them on my skin all of the time even on my face sometimes but with Rosacea, I can't really put much on my face which is why I have a problem with masks. They aren't in the baby aisle but are with the lotion. Usually on the bottom shelf since they want you buying name brand items. One fragrance is Citrus not sure what the other is supposed to be. I've used them for years.

Can't speak for the baby wipes since my youngest is 25 but I do have a new granddaughter so I've seen some of those baby wipes and ones that I have seen are made to be flushable. These aren't flusable, quite durable and I use them wipe keyboards etc since I have them around for cleaning my hands and arms.

Think the baby wipes have a lot of paper in them to be bio-degradable they might be rough when dry.

Anyway thought I would post the idea and see if helps anyone.
