If you’ve got a sensitive baby or one who seems to save their blow outs for the middle of the night, a warm wipe can make diaper changes a bit more gentle. Anything that makes changing a squirmy baby easier and less stressful is a plus, and for some little ones, a toasty wipe can be just the thing. How to use a wipes warmer No matter which style you choose, it’s going to need to be plugged in and some require adding water occasionally to keep wipes moist. After all, heating causes evaporation! If you’re not going to use the warmer for a few days, be sure to unplug it to conserve moisture. Also, be mindful that you only fill to max capacity. If it’s stuffed too full, the wipes won’t heat properly. Check out some of the top-rated baby wipe warmers that come highly recommended by parents and (we’re assuming) babies alike! Best baby wipe warmers Munchkin Warm Glow Wipe Warmer • $31.99 With a top-down warming system and a tightly sealed lid, the Munchkin Glow Wipe Warmer does a stellar job of keeping wipes toasty without drying out. (Note however, that even though it can hold 100 wipes, you’ll want to keep this unit well-stocked. Since the heating element is in the lid, you run the risk of wipes being too low down to get warm.) Other things to love? It’s energy-efficient and features a built-in soft glow night light that automatically shuts off after 10 minutes of use–ideal for those middle of the night changes! SHOP Hiccapop Baby Wipe Warmer • $39.99 With 4.5 stars and over 24K ratings on Amazon, it’s no surprise Hiccapop’s Baby Wipe Warmer is a best-seller. Like the Munchkin model above, this unit heats from the top down (a great feature if you go through a lot of wipes) and features a built-in nightlight with 10 minute auto shut-off. Thanks to a snug silicone seal, moisture stays locked in and a clear window makes it easy to see when your stash needs replenishing. It also works with a wide range of wipes including reusable cloth! SHOP Prince Lionheart Ultimate Wipes Warmer • $25 When moisture and heat are involved, things can get a little gross. (Hello, swampy humidifier water.) To make life a little easier, the Prince Lionheart Ultimate Wipes Warmer is equipped with anti-microbial technology to keep germs to a minimum. Their Ever-Fresh system uses a “pillow” to keep wipes moist and inhibit the growth of microorganisms within the unit. (FYI: It needs to be replaced every three months.) It also features a nightlight and can be used with disposable or cloth wipes. SHOP Inside this article Why use a wipe warmer in the first place?
