OT - Pampers wipes!

Is it just me, or are the Pampers wipes "different" in the last few months? They get "stuck" together and pulling one or two out always entails pulling out an entire chunk. It irritates me! They seem more "cloth" like and thinner or something, and they don't come out of the pop up tub as well like they used to? I feel like I am going through wipes so much faster. I love Huggies Supremes but they are so expensive. Any other brand recommendations?? Does anyone else notice this?

YES!
I am a pampers fan (love the pampers cruisers) and have been using the wipes since we brought Chloe home.
I switched last week to the huggies for sensitive skin.
Love the way they come out of the pop up top.
I just bought one box and then a large refill pack and it came out cheaper than the pampers wipes I was buying.

We use the pampers wipes for everything, wiping hands after meals, blowing noses when they have colds and of course Mia's diaper changes. My husband and I have also been frustrated with the change. If you notice each package has it's own peel back opening so that you can use just the pack without putting it in the tub, I thinks that's what made the change. I buy them by the case at the wholesale warehouse and I'm seriously thinking about changing to something else.

OH, and they used to be my favorite with my older kids. I bought them and used them on our visit trip and they seemed much drier than they used to. Bummer.

Okay - so it's not me I thought maybe I was being overly analytical about wipes But something just seems different and they just seem flimsier. I think I may invest in the Huggies Supreme.

My husband and I had this same discussion several times over the last few weeks. We're also thinking about changing to something else.
Maybe we should send Pampers a little letter explaining the problem. We can't be the only ones that have noticed this, right?

I don't like Pampers wipes at all--mainly for the reason you said. Also they are too thin. I only use Huggies wipes.

I do like Pampers diapers; but I prefer Huggies. I like the way the Pampers diapers are scented. I usually switch off every so often.

Glad it is not just me! I buy whatever is on sale, but these last Pampers wipes I bought are driving me batty. You can't get just one or two. They are so stuck together. Good change from Pampers standpoint, as we sure are going through them fast!

I like Huggies wipes for their thickness or Parent's Choice for their price.
