Diapers & Wipes 101

Not sure if this is the right place, but for stockpiling purposes, how long will an unopened package of wipes stay moist?? I don't want to buy too many and have them dry out before I use them up.

I still have some from 2008 which are good. Even if it dries out, you can just add some water and it'll be as good as new !!

I had a ton of wipes stockpiled including Pampers Kandoo, I did the stockpiling in 07 & stored them in my garage which was not climate controlled & in Alabama it gets super hot during the summer. Anyhow, the wipes, even the Kandoo) did not dry out, as long as the packages stay sealed you should be good, unless you are leaving them in the car which can get a lot hotter & the air contains less moisture, I finished off the stockpile at the end of 09 beginning of 2010. I couldn't tell any difference in them the entire time I was using them (from 07 to 2010)

Hello all, patrickatpampers here. If it’s o.k. with you folks, I’d like to respond to your concerns about our new Dry Max diapers. I’m a parent too, and I totally understand where you’re coming from. We’re saddened when any baby suffers any kind of diaper rash. I used to get so upset when it happened to my DDs. Trust me, nothing is more important to us than the health, safety and well-being of the babies who use our products. For everyone reading this thread, we ask that you please give us a call to tell us about your experience. We take all comments seriously and it is helpful to learn what is going on with as many babies as possible. Again, you can reach us at 1-877-256-3265, M-F 9-6 ET. Also, it is true that our diapers do contain a small amount of perfume. It is added, however, between the backsheet and therefore is not touching the baby’s skin. I will definitely send your comments along to the Pampers team though.

I DID give Pampers a call about it. My son had a reaction to them in the hospital, then when my daughter was born 2 years later - her reaction was even worse! Her skin PEELED from her body! Thankfully the hospital staff had a Rx cream that could be used for the burns to her skin. It was only red where the diaper touched her, but EVERYWHERE the diaper touched it was BRIGHT RED and peeling! Even on her sides where it wrapped around her. When I called, the service rep. acted like she'd never heard of a reaction before and didn't know what to do. I do! I will NOT buy Pampers again. I am expecting #3 and will NOT be using them- even if they are free from the hospital. We will take another brand with us when we go.
