Well, we buy the wipes that are made for adults but technically I guess the answer is yes. I find them highly superior to regular toilet paper.
I don’t either, but you wouldn’t believe how nice and clean just a pass or two with a wipe can make your ass feel. You should try it. I now hate when all I have available to me is dry paper. I do use regular paper to dry things a bit after the wipes. Also I don’t know how I got through 17 years of periods without them, though I admit to using the Cottonelle ones and not actual baby wipes.
I was skeptical, until I tried it. Ahhhhhh.
They’re more or less a necessity for stage makeup, both for incidental cleanup during application, and for removing the makeup when you’re done.
I use the flushable wipes made for adults.
I use the flushable ones and if you read the box it suggest ONE per flush. I haven’t had a problem yet and I have tree roots that need to be removed from my sewer line every 2 years.
I’ve had a zip lock bag filled with baby wipes in my car for almost 17 years. ( not the same bag. weisenheimer. ) I love em. Great for hands, car surfaces. All sortsa things.
Including what the OP’er mentioned. Which is really very nice. Although one tends to avoid the high alcohol-content wipes for some duties. :eek:
Yeppers, most on-camera talent I’ve worked with use baby wipes after they wrap for the day. Cheaper, less messy and easier to handle than cold cream.

The Cottonelle wipes are totally flushable, unless your name is Soon-To-Be-Third-Grade Caricci and you swear on my name that you flush several times during the wiping process,but really don’t.
Yeah, it gets the PB out of the shag rug for sure, when you’ve had a few less than ideal meals.
I keep a can of wipes (it’s a plastic canister that looks like a soda can) in my courier bag, too. I wear a curved barbell through my septum, but I keep it tucked in on the job. So I clean it off with a wipe when i hit the streets after work.
I saw wipes taken to the next level (of marketing) at the CVS recently. They have a package of wipes marketed to bald/shaven-headed men in with the shaving supplies.
Baby wipes are great to clean piano keys, computer keyboards and phones. I use 'em all the time.
As an elementary teacher/librarian and mother of three boys, I haven’t been without a box of baby wipes since 1990.
They will effectively:
clean the hands and faces of small grubby children
clean the hands and faces of large grubby children
clean the hands and faces of grubby adults
remove spots on clothes (salsa, jam, etc)
remove spots on the car upholstery
remove spots on any upholstery (including stuffed animals)
clean all manner of solid surfaces in bathrooms and kitchens
clean marker residue from skin easily
clean an overhead projector
quickly remove grubby finger prints from walls, doors, hardcover books, computer mice, and magazine covers
clean ceiling fans
mop linoleum floors
I could make this list a mile long. I love me some baby wipes, generic or brand name.
Yup, I use 'em. Not always, but sometimes circumstances indicate that a good cleansing is in order.
When I go for a long run or bike ride I also like to start off as, umm, clean as possible. The result of a few hours riding or running and sweating when you didn’t start out with a pristine tushy can be extremely gross and frankly, painful. Some people use BodyGlide, I take a shower or bust out the baby wipes. To each their own, I just don’t put up with chafing.
Another one keeping a box of them in the car. I use them after doing chores at the barn – mucking out my horse’s stall, grooming him, cleaning water buckets and troughs, etc. They get all the grunge off my hands, and are great for wiping sweat and dust off my face.
I have oily skin. I use them to wash my face before I go to bed at night, and occasionally throughout the day.
Hahaha agreed. And since I haven’t used a pad since I was twelve, those ones that come with it attached are of no use to me.
Well, I don’t have shag (so no worries about PB) or (consistently) particularly difficult BM’s, but I use them religiously. Y’know–just 'cause I like feeling (and actually being) fresh.
Also (speaking of shag), I happen to be a faithful adherent (if not, to my dismay, practitioner) of the “you never know when you’re gonna meet someone” (could also be known as “Umm, I know we just [insert clever euphemism here] and everything, but what was your name again?”) school of sexual proclivity, so being fresh at all times is doubly important to me. It’s common courtesy too, y’know? (Yes, perhaps TMI, but considering the subject matter, and that we’re all sharing, well…)
I also find them very handy for refreshing my hands and face when water and soap aren’t available, but thanks to those of you who listed spot removal as a possiblity.
And, Foxy40, you’re taught me something *really * new today! Before I read your post, it never occurred to me that there were people who wiped their dogs’ (or even cats’, I suppose) asses! Makes perfect sense, though. (My brother has a dog, but since this has never occurred to me, I’ve never asked him about it. I don’t think he does, though.)
In any event, a baby (or adult) wipe is a beautiful thing.
Oh, and get the individually wrapped ones (I use Wet Ones) for when you don’t have a backpack/messenger bag/purse to put them in. A few in your pocket, and you’re good to go!
I use this kind of thing for that, to refresh my face at the end of the day or when travelling.
I use them to wipe dust and dirt off the dashboard, etc.; no other accidents happen in there!
I use them and will continue to do so faithfully until Santa brings that bidet I’ve been asking for since I was a child.
I also use them for one of my cats who happens to have a very large F.U.P.A.* and thus cannot fold in half enough to clean her own arse.

ETA: I use Comforts. They’re baby wipes so they’re larger than most adult wipes, have a subtle fragrance and are loaded with aloe so my bum always feels baby soft.
We use them all the time, primarily for “toilet-related hygiene,” but also for a wide variety of other minor clean ups. I got in the habit of buying them 30+ years ago when the kids were little. Back then I had a “recipe” for making them from paper towels. I can’t remember it–but it saved a LOT of money back when money was a big concern. Now we just buy refills in quantity. I’d rather run out of toilet paper than wipes.
I almost brought this up in the thread about “Eastern” bathroom hygiene a few weeks ago where people seemed to feel the major options were dry wiping vs using running water. Moist or wet-wipes followed by handwashing seems to me to be a good alternative, and one that appears to be quite common.
Makeup removal is a flash with baby wipes. Also, when you show horses, they can do a zillion things, including put a shine on noses, wipe horsey boogers away and other stuff.
And yeah, they’re great to have because a lot of show grounds don’t have TP.
Oh yes. Horse hankies. My daughter’s riding teacher uses them for that, too.
