A Heartfelt Ode to Diaper Wipes: My Ultimate Treasure

Diaper wipes truly deserve more recognition than they receive. That’s why we’re here to celebrate their invaluable role in the lives of new parents everywhere.

Before I became a parent, I received a ton of advice, but there were so many things no one mentioned. I had no idea how much I would come to rely on you. Honestly, you should be presented in a golden canister, glittering and fabulous. Expecting parents need to understand just how essential you are—you are, without a doubt, the unsung hero among baby products.

Diaper wipes, I can’t imagine my life without you.

In the early days, I used you strictly for your intended purpose, but what a mistake that was! Perhaps I feared your extraordinary capabilities, or maybe I just didn’t want to admit I would come to lean on you so heavily. Then one day, when my little one was just two months old, my mother-in-law called to say she was “on her way.” Panic set in. My house looked like a tornado had hit it, and I contemplated calling my husband to argue about “boundaries” once again. Just then, I noticed the words “thick enough to handle any mess” on the package. A moment of embarrassment washed over me for having traded in my Windex and paper towels for you, but that shame faded quickly as I wiped down my coffee table.

I no longer dread running into that overly perfect mom from playgroup—the one whose SUV has an immaculate interior. I remember the horror on her face when she caught sight of my messy dashboard, covered in crumbs and juice stains. Not anymore!

With a quick swipe on my toddler’s feet, my mother remains blissfully unaware that I skipped mopping this week when she visits. A fast glide over my face, and the barista at Starbucks has no idea I didn’t wash my makeup off the night before. All the toys in my living room can shine bright in case of an unexpected playdate. Seriously, is there anything you can’t do?

Why didn’t other parents share your multifunctionality? I can only guess they feared judgment for not being “clean enough.” But honestly, with two kids under five, I haven’t so much as washed my bra in three weeks!

You keep me grounded. You banish jelly from my kitchen drawers. You assist in removing stickers from my walls. Oh, and let’s not forget, you’re amazing for my baby’s bottom too—just thought I’d mention that!

My guests might wonder why everything I own smells like aloe, but who cares? How about considering a “new car scent” or “citrus fresh” as your next fragrance? Just a thought—not that you need changing one bit.
