Babywipes

[stoofur]

Having recently entered the fantastic and really tiring world of fatherhood. Has anybody else think that they design babywipe packages to deliver at least two more wipes than you actually need at the time? Whenever I change a nappy I reach one handed for one wipe and three blinking wipes come out everytime. I am sure it is a ploy but the babywipe manufacturers to make me buy more than I need.

They always seem to develop a mind of their own when you are working one handed - I so agree.

Mr Field!!

have you thought of taking out approximately how many wipes you need beforehand?

[boxtops]

Yes, it's the same with - er - personal wipes, and moist toilet paper. Shedloads come out.

hmm i have found 2 solutions to this problem
1) pull out the wipes you need forst
2)if you need more when you are up to your elbows and trying to stop the baby spreading the poo everywhere, you need to take the wipe out quick - sneak up on it and do it in one fast fluid motion :)

I didn't realise I needed some kind of karate training. I must have missed that bit in the movie when Mr Miyagi showed Daniel San how to do that. Although I am brilliant at catching flies with chopsticks

Just be glad you dont have to put up with Terry nappies

I don't know if it is sleep depravation but I really do think that the wipes are designed to dispense more than you need so that you need to buy a new packet more quickly.
