Ok, I get teased all the time because I carry baby wipes in my purse. At work I keep a box in my drawer. At home I keep baby wipes in the bathroom for everyone who would like to use them. I've always been a clean freak. I feel hygiene is a must. I don't bother buying those silly femenine products. I think they contain too much unnecesary things that I just don't feel the need. My motto is, if it's good for a baby, it's good for me and my family. I always tell my friends and co-workers don't tease, learn and practice. Ha Ha, I work for OB/GYN and I'm sure if there were more people like me, those doctors would be so much happier. wink wink. What do you think about the subject? Do you think I'm taking hygiene too far? Do you think I'm crazy or not? Do you use baby wipes or any other hygiene products? If so, what products do you use? Hey, maybe I'll try something new.

I don't think that's weird at all. My wife and I once babysat for my aunt and uncle and had my little cousin, who is 3, with us. They left his baby wipes in the car and we had to use it once to wipe our hands after dinner out. We found that we actually liked using it on our hands to clean up, almost like a wetnap. I don't think you are taking hygiene too serious, it's a matter of preference. I like doing the same thing you do.

Oh wow funny you mention it, but I do have them in the car too! He he, I forgot about that one. And yes, it's great for cleaning your hands as well and they leave your hands really soft. My main reason for carrying them in the car is for when I pump gas, you know all those hands that touch those pumps. Not only that, but sometimes even though gas doesn't drip on your hands, your hands just smell so bad afterwards. See, and it's nice to know that I'm not alone on this one. Hey I even got my parents into it. My dad keeps on in his car, and when he runs out he gets mad because usually when you run out it's when you really need them.
