Review on Doctor Butler's Organic Hypoallergenic Baby Wipes - Fragrance Free ๐Ÿ‘ถ & Gentle for Sensitive Skin and Postpartum Recovery (1pk โ€“ 60 Wipes) by Brittany Lee

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I prefer 7th generation

I like to have wet wipes on hand to freshen up when I'm out or can't shower. I bought these after trying seventh generation baby wipes and not bothering with them. So I'll compare them a little. They have a faint medicinal smell which I don't really like, but it dissipates quickly. However, I take it for the seventh generation "Baby Wipes" fragrance. They say '0% fragrance' (not 'unflavored' or 'unflavored', which means the same thing to my knowledge), but the ingredients definitely produce a strong smell, but not as 'chemical' as the normal napkins. I like it too. The ingredients in Doctor Butler's are simpler than Seventh Gen. Seventh Gen is a good option over regular wipes, but it contains plastic as well as a few other ingredients I wasn't familiar with that I needed to check out. Doc Butler towels are plastic free and are actually made from NON RAYON organic bamboo fabric. There is some greenwashing going on with bamboo (I'm looking at you Budi!) and I encourage everyone to do their research on bamboo viscose/viscose before making a purchase. Also, I personally like that the ingredients in the Doc Butler wipes are easy to understand and I didn't have to spend a lot of time evaluating the product before purchasing. Both napkins are about the size of a napkin, Doc Butler is slightly larger. They're equally thick (thin?) and durable, and both leave lint in a few places, which I think is a common wiping problem. Since the seventh generation is specifically for kids, they've got ducks and leaves on it because, as you know, kids take care of things like that. In some situations I don't mind having both form and function, but on a napkin (or toilet paper) it's just silly. As versatile wipes, Dr. Butler cloths easy. Both come in plastic packaging and not sure if it's possible to help as they are wet. However, Doc Butler has a press-and-seal lid, while the seventh generation has a flip-top lid. I would have expected the seventh generation closure to do a better job of preserving the wipes, but I can't be sure having bought brands at different times. I will say that after a few months about half of the packaging of the seventh generation dries up. However, if you use them like real baby wipes, you'll probably use them up before that happens. Doc Butler's wise design is unassuming, while Seventh Gen is your typical cute baby wipe wrap with an image of a baby. It's fine for this purpose, but it's another reason I prefer a Doc Butler body wrap over a baby wrap, even though both can do the same job. As someone who doesn't currently have kids, I can leave Doc Butler's in my bathroom or carry it in my bag and people won't ask questions lol. Overall, both options are good choices for a cleaning cloth. But personally I take Dr. Butler and leave the baby wipes to the kids!

Pros
  • Baby products
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
