Cloth Diapering Cloth Wipes Made in the USA Review Wet Bags & Pail Liners

Planet Wise New Style Cloth Wipes & Wipe Pouch Review

planet wise 1

We love Planet Wise products, including the wipes & wipe pouch. I’ve been using a wet/dry bag and the wipes pouch (with a travel size spray bottle of wipes solution) as my “diaper bag” for about 2 years. We’ve been talking about getting a second wet/dry bag and wipes pouch for a while since we have 2 in diapers and go opposite directions sometimes. When I took my baby to his 1 month checkup and hubby took the other kids to a play, we realized we really needed to get another set!

When I bought my original wipes pouch, it came as a set of the pouch & 10 wipes for $18.99, available in pink or blue. Now they are sold separately with the pouches in 12 prints for $10.99 each, and wipes in 8 color combos for $12.99 per 10 pack. This increases the price for a set to $23.98; a $4.99 increase. I was curious what the extra $5 got you aside from new colors/prints.

planet wise 2 tag abt snap planet wise 3 snap

The new wipe pouch is slightly longer, and has a snap. It seems that this is to keep wet wipes away from the zipper to prevent leaking or wicking. This isn’t a useful feature for me since I don’t pre-moisten my wipes. I prefer not to since I don’t use my travel wipes that often and don’t want them to get musty (or have to figure out how many I need & moisten them before we go out every time, then wash everything when we get home.)

This is the third thing I’ve chosen in an owl print lately. It’s weird. It seems like owls are a “thing” now days, and while I’m not particularly into owls, the colors have been most appealing to me over other new/available prints. I’d choose the lime cocoa bean print in a hot second if it was available, but it’s not.

The pouches have the same PUL inner, though the new PUL is a bright color vs. brown. Wipes are exactly the same size after washing. They are the same, simple, single ply flannel. They feel pretty soft at first, but don’t stay that way.

planet wise 8 wipes and bag

I’d prefer to have the wipes in all one color or print, but they are only available in color combinations intended to match the pouch prints.

I think $1.29 is very expensive for a single layer, flannel wipe. However, the thin wipes mean you can fit a stack of 10 in the pouch easily. If you made your own wipes, it would be much more affordable since you can buy the pouches separately. $10.99 is pretty expensive for a little wet bag as well, but it’s more compact and waterproof than a plastic travel case, and my travel spray bottle fits inside perfectly too!

What do you use when you’re cloth diapering on the go?

Blog Hop Cloth Diaper Blog Hop Linky

Cloth Diaper Blog Hop for February 2012

cloth diaper blog hop

Copy and Paste Code

This is the first cloth diaper blog hop of 2012, since I didn’t post one last month. I love to find new blogs to read, especially fluffy blogs. I would really like to find new participants this month, so I would greatly appreciate a tweet, Facebook share, grabbing the button, blogging etc. etc.

That said, I want to keep this hop is easy to participate in, so you don’t have to blog about the hop or post the button.

You also don’t have to follow certain blog or leave comments. I hope you will visit the blogs that link up, follow them if you like what they have to say, and leave a comment if you like a particular post!

As usual, I plan to follow anyone who links up!
