I need some help please. I use TENA Wet Wipes because they smell pretty much neutral and the scent doesn't linger. I worked out today i'm going through a packet a day which costs roughly £4.65 a day x 7 = £32 a week x 4 = £128 a month. There are are 48 individual wipes in a package http://www.incontinencechoice.co.uk/...ack-of-48.html Doing some checking... Incontinence Care Wipes are £1.69 a day x 7 = £11.83 x 4 = ££47 a month.. . Oh and there are only 25 individual wipes in the packet but they are slightly larger. I don't like how they say Incontinence wipes on the packet. http://www.incontinencechoice.co.uk/...ack-of-25.html Do you think I should switch for the cheaper brand, Are the Tena Wipes are a false economy? You know the sizes do the Tena wipes make up the expense because you get more in a package or they they equal out because the Incontinence Care Wipes are larger... Thank you. |

I use baby wipes when I cannot wash when I change. I know the odor is a dead giveaway, but it dissipates soon, and they're cheaper. |

I use baby wipes - and have not noticed a scent. If you consider that baby powder does have a noticeable smell then, really, how much worse is the wipe you use? It is, after all, inside several layers of clothing, some of which are plastic. Maybe I just don't get it, but I didn't realize this was an issue. |

I just use baby wipes. They are far far cheaper (cost about 2-4 cents/wipe) and generally 2-3 is sufficient. It doesn't make sense to get a bigger thicker adult wipe that is many times more expensI've- costing almost 20cents/wipe. |

Also when I am out, I keep a bottle of the rinse less spray and wipe skin cleanser. It makes it easier to clean the down there and handles a lot of the odor |

I use baby wipes. I've tried the adult incontinence wipes, but I found they do not work any better than baby wipes and cost several times as much. In my opinion, the adult wipes just are not worth the extra money. I don't think that the baby-wipe scent persists after a change. The clean diaper covers up and seals in the scent. |

Ah, different opinions! Here are mine. I am double incontinent. For the bowel incontinence I always use adult wipes. The baby wipes just are not enough. --John |

I use baby wipes, and they seem to work well. Have had no issues. |

We use both. The baby wipes are cheaper. But if I have a bowel event the adult sized wipes work better. |
