Love my Prince Lionheart Wipes Warmer. These are a must-have! I just wanted to leave this review to mention that Walmart.com has the same exact thing for cheaper. You only get 2 refills here.. there you get 4, for practically the same price. FYI.

I bought this product back in 2006 and have been using them ever since(we have had 2 more children). Our wipes warmer is still working great. The replacement pillows are nice because as long as you keep them wet, they won't dry your wipes out or turn them brown. They also last for a really long time. I just have to make sure about every other week that I take them out and put some water on them. Eventually, you will notice that they are becoming a little flimsy and that is when you need to change the replacement pillows. I also have friends that you use cloth diapers and wipes and the wipe warmer and refills work well for the cloth wipes too. I am very pleased with the wipes warmer and the replacement pillows!

I had been using these with my cloth wipes in the Premium Wipes Warmer and was tired of them drying out too quickly and having kind of a funky smell. The package says they should be replaced every 3 months, but I found they really only last a little over 1 month. I was getting ready to buy my second set of replacement pillows when I decided to try using the warmer without them. So far I don't notice much difference! The cloth wipe closest to the bottom did dry out a bit, but it was still usable. I think I will deal with a dried out wipe every once and while and save the $7 or $8 to replace the pillows every month.

I have 2 wipe warmers. One at office. One at home.
At first I was skeptical about this product's claim that it kills bateria to keep your wipes fresh longer, so I tried putting one of the two wipe warmes.

After 2 months of usage, I can tell you their claim is true. My office wipe warmer without this smelled a bit stale while the wipe warmer at home with this smelled 100% fresh.

The only con i know is that this pillows leave some brown colored dried-out residue after 2 months. I had to scrub a little bit to get rid of them. Other than this tiny residue problem, I am completely happy with its performance in keeping the wipes fresh for longer periods of time.

We love our warmer - the pads last about a month or two, depending on if we remember to re-wet them each week! If you forget to wet them down each week, they will start to brown, but as soon as you rinse it out it's good as new. The wipes have never dried out in this warmer.

We've had our wipe warmer for almost 5 years now. These little pillows just make it even better! We've never had a dry wipe unless someone *ahem, hubby* leaves the top open. Since we've had our third baby, we have switched to cloth diapers and these even keep the bamboo and terry cloth wipes fresh and moist. I love these things!

Good product. Does what they are suppose to do. Keeps wipes from getting scorched by the warmer and moist. Must keep the pads moist but don't put to much water in the warmer or the wipes touching the pad will come out dripping wet

These work great. My first pad lasted me all of last winter, but I figured I'd reorder for this winter. They keep the wipes warm and even if you forget and let it dry out, they can be reconstituted with a little effort! If I could improve one thing it would be that they stayed wet longer (stay moist a week or a little less), but beggars can't be choosers, and my little man really appreciates the warm wipes in the winter!

UPDATE (4 stars):

In case anyone else has run into the problem I detailed below, I wanted to offer a suggestion for how to get around it. I don't use these Ever-Fresh Pillows inside the Prince Lionheart Premium Wipe Warmer anymore. Instead, I wet one of the square wipes that came with the Lionheart Warmer and use it as a makeshift moistening pillow by placing it on the bottom of the warmer, where the pillow should go. When I go through a round of wipes, I replace the "moistening wipe" on the bottom of the warmer, too--which, by that point, usually has a bit of brown crust, but not too much--with a clean wipe. This has almost totally eliminated the gross brown crust situation, and we didn't have to spend any more money.


ORIGINAL REVIEW (2 stars):

I used these Ever-Fresh pillows since the birth of my son 10 months ago. They worked great, keeping my cloth wipes moist and warm between diaper changes.

However, my family recently moved to the Midwest, and I have had to stop using the pillows. For some reason, after about a day in the wipe warmer, these pillows become hard, and a brown crust (which looks like rust) starts forming on the side of the pillow closest to the warmer. I have tried everything I can think of to prevent that crust from forming, but nothing has worked. I finally started just not using the pillow at all, and things have been fine.

I don't know what is in the pillow or what is in my water (gross), but something is reacting with something else to form some serious nastiness. Other reviewers seem to have had similar issues, so be warned. It is such a disappointment, too, because, otherwise, I absolutely love the Lionheart Warmer.

I stopped buying these and my wipes no longer get "burned". I had alot of issues with my cloth wipes getting dried out, and it turns out the pad was absorbing all the moisture. I've stopped using them and no more browning or mildew. Go figure. :/
