    I would just buy a length of fleece and cut up. I have fleece wipes that have been going strong for 6yrs now

    Reuseable wipes??? I am lost! lol

    TBH though, I wouldn't bother with washing flannels etc - I would just buy normal baby wipes, throw them away and be done with it

    Each child in my setting has there own Coloured flannel.

    I wash their flannels every day, therfore each child has a clean flannel every day.

    I have 2 flannels per child ( so I dont have to wash them every day)

    1 flannel per day

    I have flannels for hands & faces, but I'm looking for reusable wipes for bottoms!
    I've seen good reviews for the Cheeky wipes, but they are expensive.

    Reusable wipes are cloths that you use, then wash. Along the lines of cloth nappies and cloth sanitary towels.
    It saves money in the long run and is better for the environment.

    I suppose I could cut up flannels as a whole one would be a bit big.

    You use them instead of baby wipes. You can dampen then with water or a solution of water and baby bath or essential oil. You either keep the solution in a spray bottle and spray it on as needed, or make up a solution in a tub and put the wipes in it until they're needed.
