The same brand, 4.4 times the price per sheet
This is an independent catalogue of one store brand, kept by people with no stake in it. We worked out the cost of a single wipe, ordered the diapers by the size on the box, and listed the changing table jars and bottles by what their labels claim to hold.

Eight packs, taken off each shelf in turn
Where a pack counts its contents the order is by what one sheet, one diaper or one pad comes to. Where it does not, by what the pack itself comes to. The cheapest sheet in the catalogue is further down on its own, so it is not repeated here.

The shelf
Three places things end up
Wipes and diapers are two separate purchases in this aisle. Everything else shares one shelf because on its own each part is three items.
By name
The lines printed on the packs
Scent and sheet names are the only labels this brand sorts itself by. Here is what each one covers and where it starts.
Refreshing Cucumber
The green packs. Six listings, from an 80 count flip-top to a 1200 count case.
6 listings · from $9.96
Start with the Quilted Baby Wipes, Refreshing Cucumber, 80ct
Fresh Scent
The plain everyday line, and the one with the widest choice of small packs.
4 listings · from $6.49
Fragrance Free
No added scent. Sold mostly in bulk, and the cheapest per sheet on this shelf.
4 listings · from $8.98
Sensitive with Aloe
Aloe and vitamin E on the pack front. Mid-size packs, mid-range per sheet.
3 listings · from $14.68
Start with the Refreshing Cucumber Scent Baby Wet Wipes Infused with Vitamin E and Aloe, 240 Count
Flushable

3 listings · from $12.50
Start with the Flushable Toddler Wipes, Ultra Soft, Gentle on Skin
Shea Butter
Two listings, both small. The 80 count is the cheapest way to try the line.

2 listings · from $9.96

Labels
What the words on the front actually mean
None of this is our wording. These are the phrases the manufacturer prints, and all we can honestly do is say what each one describes.
- Fragrance free
- No added scent. The base of the range rather than a premium on it, which is why the bulk cases in this line carry the lowest per-sheet cost on the page.
- Quilted
- A description of the sheet texture: raised rather than flat. It appears alongside a scent name, not instead of one.
- Flushable
- The sheet is built to come apart in water. That is a statement about the sheet, not about your plumbing or your water company’s rules.
- Hypoallergenic
- A manufacturer’s labeling term. It appears on the pack front of the sensitive line; what it covers is defined by whoever printed it, not by us.
- Scent names
- Cucumber, fresh, shea butter and melonberry mark which line you are holding. They are line names first and descriptions second.
- Count and ounces
- The two numbers that decide most purchases, and the two printed smallest. On wipes it is the sheet count; on tubs and bottles it is the fluid ounces.
Read the pack. It is the only thing that speaks for the product, and this page is not it.
Sizing
Diapers go by weight, not by birthday
Typical weight ranges across the category, and which of them this shelf can actually fill today.
| Size | Weight | On this shelf |
|---|---|---|
| Newborn | up to 10 lb | 1 listing |
| 1 | 8 to 14 lb | 1 listing |
| 2 | 12 to 18 lb | — |
| 3 | 16 to 28 lb | 1 listing |
| 4 | 22 to 37 lb | 1 listing |
| 5 | 27 lb and up | — |
| 6 | 35 lb and up | 1 listing |
| 7 | 41 lb and up | 1 listing |
Ranges are the usual ones for the category and are here as a rough map. The box in your hand is the only figure that counts.
Reading the gap
- Sizes on this shelf: Newborn, 1, 3, 4, 6, 7.
- Missing entirely: 2 and 5. Resellers list what they have, which is not the whole range.
- Buy the big box one size up and the small pack in the size that fits now. That is the way to not throw a mega box away.
Arithmetic
Every wipe pack, priced by the sheet
Sorted cheapest sheet first. The gap between the top and the bottom of this table is 4.4 times, and nothing on the packs tells you that.
Prices were read when this page was built and move without warning. The order of this table moves with them.

Cheapest sheet on the shelf
Fragrance-Free Baby Wipes, 300 Count
The front label reads Fragrance Free, which makes it the plain option on a crowded shelf. Most buyers arrive here after deciding they dislike the scented versions. It carries no added odor, so you smell whatever is actually there instead of artificial floral notes.
$8.98 2.99¢ a sheet
Price last read when this page was built. The listing is the only place it is current.
Notes
Five things worth knowing before you fill a cupboard
Arithmetic
What a wipe actually costs
Nineteen packs, one brand, and a four-fold spread in the price of a single sheet. Here is where the difference hides.
Sizing
Diaper sizes go by weight, not by age
The number on the box maps to pounds. Everything else, including your baby’s birthday, is a rough guess at best.
Labels
What the words on the front of the pack mean
Fragrance free, sensitive, quilted, flushable. Four phrases that look like grades and are really just descriptions.
Plumbing
Flushable wipes and what your pipes think
Flushable is a claim about the sheet. It is not a promise about your drains, and the two get confused constantly.
Setting up
The changing table shortlist
The small things live between the changing mat and the sink. You notice each one exactly once, on the day it runs out.
In their words
What buyers wrote on the listings
Pulled from the listings themselves, trimmed for length and nothing else. Quotes about delivery, sellers and anything medical are left out on purpose.
Oh my goodness. I keep these all over my home for quick clean ups or to wipe my hands before a meal when no sinks are available.
One of the few brands that carries size 7s and they do work well for overnight with a spoises diaper booster insert.
This product is really good. The wipes are very sturdy, they don't spread as you use them, even on Mom These wipes come in handy for quick "adult spit bathing"! Not just for babies.
These were a good value. They are thick, have a nice scent, and the shea butter must help with smooth feel. I like them best of all the ones I've tried.
We have always used these wipes with all my children and have never had any problems
Strong, soft, multi-purpose wipes. The only ones I use as an adult,non-fragrance.
Look past the pack front and check the arithmetic
The wipes table ranks every pack by the cost of a single sheet, from lowest to highest. The diaper table maps the shelf by the weight on the box and notes which sizes are missing.
