Saw diaper wipes in half

Money and enviro-saver from kittenpie:

Diaper wipes are HUGE! When our baby was tiny, her bum was maybe a quarter the size of one, so we started sawing the whole box worth in half and putting them back in - we may use three or four half-wipes for messy cleanups, but it's still likely less than we would use otherwise, and more manageable - I'm not trying to wrap them around my hand.

Your comments

Intersting approach. If this works we should just manufacture them smaller. I tend to do a lot of folding with the wipes when I am using them.
