I started using these when my son was an infant, and I loved them. They were perfectly natural and safe for my baby. One day I ordered these from Amazon and noticed that the company had added sodium benzoate, a preservative that is now be suspected of causing Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, although not confirmed. I don't like to use things with this preservative, so I had to discontinue using these wipes. I switched to Tushies Unscented wipes. They aren't as thick, but they are more natural than these. Check it out on [...].

I use bladder pads at night to save multiple, painful trips to the restroom. Due to severe arthrtis in my arms/hands I am not always able to bathe using soap & water in the morning when I first get up. Not only are these no fragrance wipes the best I've found to cleanse my skin resulting in no residual odor, they are also gentle to my skin and leave no residue. The size is more than adequate for the job and the price very affordable.

I absolutely love these wipes, because they are not too dry nor too wet. They don't smell and are soft for babies butt. I love the size of the wipes too.

I bought these because I am a fan of Seventh Genration's other products like dish soap, spray cleaner, hand wash, etc...I regret buying these. I am SO disappointed with these wipes. There are a few complaints:

1) They are SO dry. There's not enough moisture to wipe away a mess, so I end up using twice as many and literally scrubbing my daughter's heiny to get it clean.

2) They don't feed through the refillable container well. They are always coming apart, so you have to open the lid and grab more and then re-feed it though the pop up top. Not always easy to do when you have a squirmy 10 month old in one hand!

3) They are very thin and small.

4) They smell bad.

I cancelled my subscribe and save for these wipes, and I will never buy them again.

A couple months ago we noticed that the wipes we were getting through our subscribe and save were in different packaging, smaller, fewer and possibly drier. We have since switched to ordering Natural Value Baby Wipes through our local COOP (bulk with a discount). The math works out to a little cheaper than the 7th Gen and the wipes are larger and have just the right amount of all natural wipe soap for either regular use or use from our wipe warmer. (For those who care, the soap in the wipes in the natural value brand is more natural than any other "natural" wipe--including 7th Gen--as far as we could tell). As of our switch we didn't see any good bulk deals on Amazon, but since 7th Gen made their strange changes, now might be the time for a Natural Value supplier to take advantage of the opportunity! We do still use 7th Gen's DIAPERS. Still haven't found anything that can beat them--especially on the subscribe and save deal...

If you like thinner wipes (like the Pampers Sensitives) then you will love these wipes. They have plenty of moisture and are unscented. If you want a thicker wipe (like Huggies Naturals) then you will probably not like these.

I have the exact opposite view as a lot of these other reviews. I've been buying seventh generation diapers for my daughter since she was born and LOVE them. I aways bought Earths best wipes because they are a slightly better deal. Then I felt like the Earths Best wipes were almost too wet, so I decided to spare the extra buck and try out the Seventh Generation wipes. Boy, was I disappointed. First off they're tiny, about half the size as Earth's best, second they are super dry! So dry in fact that in some messy cases I wet them down first before I used them. Plus, the tab that supposedly keeps moisture in of course comes off and then they really dry out. With the Earths best wipes they are so moist that even with the tab off they stay wet! Unfortunately, I bought an entire case and am finally running out(which was really only half the time that it takes for an entire case of Earths Best to run out becasue you have to use so many of the Seventh Generation wipes to get the job done) needless to say I wont be buying them again. I learned that I prefer too wet over not wet enough any day. Plus I really like the large size of wipe that Earth's best offers. I do want to say that I Like Seventh Generation; I think they make some outstanding products that I'm glad to support just not in this case.

Good wipe, but they are thin. I wish they were thicker. Sometimes poop sneaks through. But they are good for my toddler so I am fine with it overall.

I have been buying Seventh Generation products for over 5 years now and when my first child developed a bad diaper rash on her bottom, I switched to Seventh Generation diapers and never turned back. So at that point I started using these wipes and they are great. I like that they are thick and you don't feel like your hands get all dirty when cleaning a messy diaper because you don't feel like anything has soaked thru the wipe. They are soft but durable and absorbant or tough enough to clean a messy bottom without going through more than 3 wipes. I had trouble with the plastic dispenser box since the wipes never would stay coming out or the lid would not always stay closed and the wipes would dry out so I jsut started using the wipes out of the refill bag. The wipes would sometimes start to get mildew inside the packs though when the pack was not finished quickly after being opened. I reported this to Seventh Generation and because it is a naturally product without chlorine this happens but they were super and sent me some replacement coupons.

I use these wipes because my daughter was reacting badly to commercial wipes. She tolerates these so I will continue to use them but they are very thin and not nearly moist enough to get all the poop off without using many more wipes. I hope to find an alternative.
