I use the Costco brand (Kirkland). They're the best. Huggies I thought were too rough. Kirkland are great because they're soft, well moistened and unscented for delicate tushies.
You'd think I have stock for Costco :D

btw, cosco wipes are a problem on shabbos, they are made of a coth not papert so its a sechita prob;em!

On shabbos, i use a spray bottle with water or the johnson's oil spray w/ tissues or precut paper towels.

the squeezing thing is a matter of halachic opinion, and you're probably fine using them. Asking your LOR is advizable (as in any other matter ;) )

I use water & papertowels when I'm a good mom and any uncented brand when out of the house (or when I'm not such a good mom). Nothing beats clean water. (and some soap in case of a dirty case)

for shabbos we dry out our wipes (we were told that using wipes is a problem of sechita) and then made our own spray bottle of water + baby soap.

it also depends on what brand, container they are kept in, etc...

we also asked and we were told we have to.
dh hates using tissues - they don't hold up well so we bought cheap baby wipes to dry out but they don't want to dry!!!!!! i've had the pkg open for months already!!!!!

there is a problem with any wipe that is made of a cloth, OTOH, a wipe that is paper based is ok bby most. I know huggies are ok, and according to rabbi blumenkrantz kirkland- or cosco is not ok for shabbos, but not everyone holds by him. But the basis is that sechita is a prohibition on the actual cloth not paper. BH we use wipes on shabbos! The thought of everything else is icky to me...

i actually pull them out of the pkg. let them dry on the changing table or dresser or a towel. it takes an hour or two. then gather them up and stuff them in the diaper drawer.
