Are these flushable?

Seems like a good price, but I currently use huggies. Anyone think that these are better/worse than huggies wipes? I actually tear huggies in half because that's all I usually need so I get twice as many uses. Can these be torn in half easily?

They are not flushable or biodegradable.

Nice deal! 2.02 cents per wipe with shipping included.

We used these on the boy and they were sufficently soft and whatnot. Tip: keep some in the glove compartment, gym bag, camping gear... I never realized how much I like baby wipes until I had a baby.

No, these are not flushable. As a flushable wipe, we use Kandoo, about 4 cents a wipe (regular price) on Amazon. They're smaller than a normal wipe, but you get used to it...

I'd say these are on par with any other name-brand wipe; they're soft enough for baby butts and they should tear in half just as easily if you'd like to generate less waste.

I use the Kirkland wipes from Costco, which I think go for around $16 for 900, plus tax.

I'm under the impression that Seventh Generation are a little gentler, and it's worth a try to see if they help relieve some redness our boy is getting lately. I'm in for three, and I think I'm saving more than a tenth of a cent per wipe.

It adds up, right?

You buy these if you want to keep toxic crap away from your baby's skin, not because they are cheap and work well. Each sheet is smaller than Huggies or Kirkland wipes, but they contain no alcohol, synthetic cleaners, dyes or fragrances.

Check the EWG's cosmetic database for more info. http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/

Natural wipes, cheaper than Costco wipes! Woot!

For those wanting flushable wipes...those shouldn't be flushed no matter WHAT the package says. They do not biodegrade and can clog up your pipes, especially in older homes where roots have found their way into the pipes. $300 later...ask me how I know...

I'll be trying these out! I don't have a kiddo yet, or that I know of, but I do use wipes to clean off my gym gear. So hopefully these will be better then the kirkland ones I use.

ps,
That link above to the study on the kirkland babywipes is a good read.

I love baby wipes - they're gentler and cheaper than makeup wipes, and I keep some in a ziplock in my purse in case of spills or hot days. They are safe to use to wipe down pets, too, although I don't know how much the pets like it.

These are not hypoallergenic. They contain, among other things, Aloe Vera. I (and many others) am allergic to Aloe.

Seventh Generation Wipes? Does that mean they've been used 7 times already???

Six times actually, you'll be lucky number 7.

Wish you had these when my daughter was still in diapers. These were the one of the only wipes that didn't give her a rash.

price wise, these look like a great deal - in for three!
My last purchase of a 12 pack ran $22 elsewhere. And it looks like 7th generation is pushing a new version with fewer wipes (768) that costs more ($27 w S&S)...

Amazon has the old style 350 wipe pack for about $12...

that was fast? Sellout?

Darn! Would have been in for 3. Please bring these back.

wow! 12.7 pounds for an order of 1.
