Love the environment? Cheeky Wipes maybe perfect for you and your child. One of the things that I have often felt the most guilty about having kids is the use of wet wipes. We get through so many of the blasted things and they are so useful I have to admit! Not just nappies but faces, tables, high chairs and even, yes the skirting board! I’m sure if you have been watching the news there is talk of banning them due to the impact on the environment. They don’t rot away. I remember my hubby putting them accidentally in the compost bin and two years later they are still there!!! When Cheeky Wipes contacted me to trial their reusable wipes, I was very keen to see what they would be like. I hope this Cheeky Wipes review

Cheeky Wipes Kit – What Were We Sent?
I was excited to try out the All-In-One Washable Baby Wipes Kit. Depending on what type of fabric you decide on these retail between £39.99 and £44.99.
I was sent a pack with rainbow zero twist cotton wipes.
I was excited to open the boxes and see what I would need to do to use the wipes.
Cheeky Wipes Mucky Box
The bigger box contains everything but this is called the Cheeky Wipes “Mucky box” and is where all your used and dirty wipes will go.
Inside is a smaller box; the “fresh” box and this is where you make up your pack of wipes.
How to Use Cheeky Wipes
It’s really straight forward use and set Cheeky Wipes up.
You take your blue, fresh tub and fill it up with water to the top line, which is easy to see. Then you add a drop of essential oil that is provided. For the fresh it is lavender and chamomile oil.
Next you open the wipes and add them in. I did this in two stages and let the water soak them. I also turned them over as instructed. After while I added the second half and let them all soak and get ready for use.
You can keep the wipes for up to 3 days before they will need a wash. This is less in hot days, where every other day is recommended.
In the mucky box there is a mesh bag you can put the used wipes, ready for the wash. You have to fill this 3/4 with water and add some essential oil; this time tea tree and lemon.
You are also provided with some little bags to take wipes out and about; one for fresh and one for used.
Our Thoughts
I find I always feel the most guilty with the wipes we use at the dinner table. Little Piglet is older now and she doesn’t get through that many nappies and if it’s a wee it’s usually one wipe. So with these thoughts in mind, I decided to use the set more for the dinner table and after eating.
I took my first wipe out after breakfast to try.
It was quite wet, so I gave it a little squeeze which was fine. Not sure if I added a little too much water. It smelt amazing! So fresh and natural and was cool and damp, perfect for cleaning a face or a dirty leg!
My eldest is not a fan of having her face washed at the best of times but what I liked with the Cheeky Wipe was you only needed one; not tonnes which I always feel so wasteful of.
We only used one wipe for the whole clean. I used one for my face after my lunch too and again loved the smell. Made my hands smell amazing. We then just put the dirty wipes in the mesh bag, ready to be washed.
Hubby and I were really impressed. I have to admit I have never thought about using cloth wipes or nappies but this has really made me think about it. Now we have to use less wipes, as the Cheeky Wipes go so far, the 25 in the tub should be enough. Luckily the weather has cooled down and they should last the 3 days.
In the long run using these wipes will save money are more eco-friendly and so natural. There is only water and essential oils on the wipes and you can see that, as you make them!
Price wise you will make your money back in no time as quite honestly, we get through so many wipes! Hubby is always on the Aldi run for more
Overall, I was really impressed with Cheeky Wipes and if you are considering cloth wipes, definitely give them a try!

I am really thinking about using cloth wipes and nappies for this baby! We still use wet wipes for Evie and her hands and faces, I can’t even imagine how much we’ve already spent over the years!
I love cheeky wipes! We used them with number one, and now about to do washable nappies with baby number two. Would be fab to have a set for mucky hands and faces as well as bottoms!!
I already have cheeky wipes and they’ve been amazing for the last two years. I’d love to win another set to gift to a friend
I would love to try these, they look perfect for my little baby grandson! 🙂
never tried them at all fabtastic giveaway
these would be really handy – many thanks
These sound like a great idea and I love that they’re more eco-friendly and natural.
We get through so many baby wipes, these look fab, good for environment too!
We get through far too many baby wipes so sounds great
What a good idea – before wet wipes we did just use a wet flannel in a plastic bag or cotton wool and a bowl of warm water x
It’s just too easy to pick up a wet wipe for each use – these are just as handy and so much better for the environment.
Where have these been all my life? I have been guilty of using wipes for just about everything so am trying to find better alternatives. Thanks for this opportunity.
Great idea to make a cleaner planet
Thank you for introducing me to these. We did use reusable nappies but now 6 years down the line Im still addicted to wet wipes and they really are so bad for the planet. I’m pleased to find a great alternative. Thanks again.
Brilliant idea better instead if baby wipes all the time. much more eco friendly
Thank you, great idea (I’m old and a Grandma, I used to put a damp facecloth in a plastic bag back in the day) 🙂
These look much better than baby wipes. Am always worried what ingredients wipes contain. With these you know exactly what you are putting in your little one
Oh, wow. These look amazing! I wish there had been something like this around when my two were little as we must have got through thousands of packets of wet wipes with them!!

What a brilliant idea, really well thought out – a must have for all parents who care about the environment
We cloth bummed our toddler and LOVED our cheeky wipes (still use them now for hands and faces), my best friend is now expecting and I would love to be able to win these for her <3
Such a great idea, and I can see it taking off with the recent banning of Wet wipes,
these look great especially now they are trying to rid the world of wipes x
Hi, I’ve not heard of Cheeky wipes before but they seem like s great sltetnayive yo wet wipes #bloggersbest
These seem great! I used wet wipes but just didn’t know how bad they were (15 years ago). If I had small children now I would use these. They seem amazing and I will definitely recommend these to my friend with twins. Thank you. I have banned make-up wipes in the old house and we use flannels now or compostable cotton wool pads. It’s the small things that will help our planet. #bloggersbest
Good to see us thinking more about the environment and can see this is already a very popular giveaway and am not at all surprised. Great product #BloggersBest
Oh, what a cool idea! Wipes are definitely used a lot, so this would certainly help. I love that it smells so good. #bloggersbest

Perfect for my little grand daughter due next month! Thanks for hosting x

Super useful for my little 1s
Def something I need to get involved with now
Would be great for my little grandaughters, many thanks

I’m another one who feels guilty about the amount of wet wipes we use! Will have a look at these!
I would be really up for giving these a go- I’ve been thinking about ways I can be more environmentally friendly
id love these for my nephew
would be great for my niece
What a great idea!
I would love to try these and stop using normal wipes
Fantastic idea, I’ve been feeling increasingly guilty about the amount of disposable wipes and nappies we go through and am looking for environmentally friendly alternatives. Your post couldn’t have been better-timed, thank you x
These sound fantastic. I hate the number of wet wipes I go through, these sound like such a good alternative
These would be great when my niece comes to stay! She is a bit of a mucky one!
Not just great for babies, and love that it’s eco friendly
iT HAS TO BE THE BEST WAY FORWARD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
Great idea – thanks for the chance to win
I would love to try these, for my youngest granddaughter
what a wonderful idea so much better for the environment than disposable wipes x
Have not tried these before but with the amount of wet wipes my 2 go through I would love to give them a try
These sound good. Would be great to see what they are like
This is fantastic! I know a lovely mum who has been really worried about her use of baby wipes,especially with a second little one on the way. Definitely got to let her know about these!
What a great product, we get through so many wipes and I feel bad about it!
I love cheeky wipes, we have a very old white stash and are always saying we’d love some more!
Excellent prize, wipes are always useful! x
These would be great, our first baby is due in July and we’re planning to use cloth nappies so it’s only logical to use cloth wipes as well, I ordered a pack of white cheeky wipes but it would be great to have a full kit with the clean and mucky boxes and this would mean I had enough wipes to keep some at Grandma’s house as well.
