Folks out there with babies: have you seen these?
Disposable washcloths. Get them wet, and the suds are built in.
Disposable washcloths. Get them wet, and the suds are built in.A friend gave us some before Jamie was born, and I admit, I thought: "How wasteful and frivolous. What's wrong with just using baby wash on a washcloth?" Well, what's wrong is, it's not as easy. It seems like you have to pour it on there like three times to get a good lather. But these are a bit expensive compared to the old-fashioned way. So here's a way to feel better about giving yourself a break:
Cut them in half!
Some regular scissors are all it takes. Babies are small. They don't need a lot of sudsing. Now we get 40 baths from a box and don't feel so bad about spending $3-something!
Same with these. My mom bought some and didn't like them, so I took them off her hands. It's hard to see in this picture, but there are only 28 in the tub. That's not even enough to cleanse once a day for a month! What the heck, Aveeno?!Slice and dice.
Unless you have a really large face, you don't need the whole pad. It lathers nicely. I've been cutting mine in THIRDS, in kind of a peace-symbol pattern. It makes the luxury last a little longer. And if I ever buy more, I can look at the high price and tell myself they'll last me much longer than Aveeno intended.
Muah ha ha.
Go see what might last longer if you get creative with the scissors!
And lemme know if you find anything good. :)

Great tip Kristina! And may I say that we used the Aveeno facial wipes many times, and I NEVER even thought of cutting them in half. Aaron and I agree they are a rip off, so we will cut them into 3rds next time we buy them
