The recipe I used was super easy- 2 tbs of baby wash, 1 tbs of baby oil, 2 cups of warm water and a roll of Bounty paper towels cut in half. Mix the wet ingredients, pour it over the roll of towels and let it absorb overnight, then pull out the center 'core' of the roll and they are supposed to pull up easy from there.
The author of the original recipe made a big point that you needed to use Bounty brand, but I'm wondering if there are different quality levels of Bounty. The ones we used fall apart when you try to pull one out. Plus they leave a foamy residue and are way too wet for my liking. On the plus side they do smell great and if you can get rid of the bubbles your skin feels nice afterwards... But half the time I've ended up rewashing my hands anyway!
We haven't actually used them on L's bum yet. So far I've just used them to wipe off his hands and face. They are so thin and shred so easily that I'm not willing to risk wiping up anything too messy with them.
I'm going to experiment with different brand towels, and less baby wash/water in the next batch and see how that feels, but for now I think this experiment was a flop!
