I don't know what it is about this recent batch that I received. They seem old--drier than usual. And even when I spritz extra water on, they just don't seem to clean well at all. I can not get rid of a strong urine smell, for example, and cleaning after a soiled diaper is particularly frustrating. I see little advantage of these over a wet rag. The only good thing about them is that I will not have to grumble about them for long. I seem to be using at least 2-3 times as many wipes, trying to get bottoms clean. I rarely take the time to write reviews, but I have not been happy with this product and I will be canceling my subscription.
