I read another review for this product that says it does not work with cloth wipes. I think the review was under the green color dispenser. I just wanted to share my experience because I am using cloth wipes and I was not sure what to use as a container. I debated just buying a wipes warmer, but I wanted something portable that does not require electricity, and I did not feel that my wipes needed to be warm. You can always warm them in your hands for a few seconds before using them if it's an issue.The other review stated that you cannot use the weight with cloth because it's too light, and folding them into the "accordion style" did not work for dispensing just one wipe at a time. I fold the wipes by laying them flat and then folding both sides inward so they meet in the middle. First I wet all the wipes with wipe solution by laying them flat inside a square dish. I pour a little bit of the solution into the bottom of the container, add wipes, and then slowly add more solution and more wipes in a "lasagna" fashion, careful to dampen all wipes. Any extra solution I can squeeze out and use again later or in my on-the-go squirt bottle. Once the wipes are wet, I fold them all and put them into the dispenser, seam side up. When you place the weight inside, you should see the two edges through the hole. If you do it this way, you can pull one wipe out at a time.
I was also not sure which types of wipes would fit in this dispenser and how many it would hold. I have three kinds of wipes: Cotton Babies flannel wipes and two styles from Green Mountain Diapers, two-sided terry and thin flannel. The thin flannel work best in this dispenser. If you fold them in half or in the try-fold style I mentioned above, you can fit around 30-36 wipes in the container. The two-sided terry will work, but less will fit and they don't fit perfectly. They are thicker and only about 12 of them fit at a time. This might not be a problem for an older baby, but for a newborn, 12 wipes will likely not last you much longer than a day, maybe not even that. I don't see it being worth the time to mix up wipe solution every day just so you can store the wipes in here. I bought more thin flannel wipes to use with the dispenser because of this issue.
This dispenser is smaller than I thought, smaller than a Huggies or Pampers box in my opinion, but it is nicer. The seal is superior and it will not crack as easily, if at all. I see it easily lasting through one or two kids. Overall I like it, and while it's definitely not a must-have item, it is a nice-to-have item and is more useful than a wipes warmer, which could break after a few months or scorch your wipes. I understand that it was designed with disposable wipes in mind, and to hold the pack size of 100 wipes, but it could be a little bigger. Overall a decent solution to storing cloth wipes.
The first night home with our baby girl we tried to open up the Kirkland (Costco) wipes package with its built in door to pull out wipes and quickly were frustrated with how cheap and hard to open the packaging was. We then remembered we had purchased this OXO Perfect Pull Wipes Dispenser, Green and I quickly cut the package open, dropped them into the dispenser and BAM!!! Our stress level dropped immediately. It has made grabbing wipes super easy ever since. I can even change a diaper in the dark because its so easy to open the container and the container makes no noise (very faint click) when opening.
I cannot recommend the product enough, it was well worth it!!

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I wish that I would have had this a long time ago! I have been re-using the box that comes with the wipes for years and had the opprotunity to try this one. I was not dissapointed! On capacity, holds almost 2 packs of wipes, which is more than the other boxes. I really liked that there is a weight that holds down the wipes so that you are only getting one each time. I know that in the past I usually pull out more than I need, which the weight helps with. I really like that there is a little window in the side so that you can see how many wipes you have left...I can't tell you how many times I needed wipes and pulled out the last one not knowing it. It is truly a one hand operation which is great when I have to keep one hand on my squirmy little one. Solid construction that will make it last a long time! Would recommend for anyone with kids in diapers!Read Best Reviews of OXO Tot Perfect Pull Wipes Dispenser Here
Love this product, but hate that my wipes dry out because the latch doesn't stay shut. I bought this product just 2-3 weeks ago and it's already not working properly.

This dispenser is seriously good. My wife and I got tired of the cheap, junky wipes dispensers that come free with most baby wipes. I have a ton of OXO products in my kitchen already and love their practical design. This dispenser delivers exactly as you'd expect from an OXO product. The gasket seals the wipes well and keeps them moist longer than the cheap, free dispensers. It can be easily operated with one hand, the lid opens and closes with a slight press. The dispenser has some heft, so you won't be moving it around just by pulling wipes out. The weighted piece in the middle keeps a wipe popped up like a kleenex and ready to grab without snagging a couple.I couldn't be happier with the product. We are using it with Pampers Sensitive wipes and it works flawlessly. The window on the front isn't really important since we're opening it so often, I notice when the stock is low. Another thing to note is that the dispenser is mostly white the color selection only changes the color of the gasket and weighted piece.
