One of the most challenging and annoying parts of motherhood and fatherhood is having to change diapers all of the time.
No matter what, you have to change your kid’s diapers and give them fresh ones, while wiping and cleaning them up so that they can be healthy and happy. But, there are some things during changing time that can be annoying.

First of all, changing time is rough.
From kids who are super fussy to kids who love to pee on you, to the kids who make totally terrible bombs of poop—changing time is not our favorite time of the day. Plus, we make such a mess!
One thing that can be annoying is the amount of wipes we use.
Most of the time, we grab wipes so that we can get our babies clean and smelling fresh. And, we need more than 1 wipe to do it, most of the time. But, using wipes can be complicated.
Grabbing a few wipes doesn’t always equal a few wipes.
Parents know that when you grab wipes from a baby wipes package, more than 1 comes out at a time. So many come out that you feel like you waste them. And, wipes are not cheap!
Parens of babies in diapers spend a lot on “tools” every month.
Wipes and diapers are things that you can’t really reuse, so they become a monthly cost when your child is in diapers. And, you can expect that it adds up to be a lot more than you’d expect.
Baby wipes are definitely something that are a monthly cost.
Apparently, parents can look to spend anywhere from $30-$60 a month on baby wipes, depending on which brand you get and whether or not you can get them on sale and a good deal on them. That’s a hefty amount of money .
Clearly, wasting them is not an option.
Spending that much money on wipes a month means we have no room to waste them. And, even when you pull out more than you need, putting them back doesn’t always work because they dry out.
One mom recently shared a diaper hack for everyone to use.
The mom shared a video online of a diaper changing hack that all parents need to know. It’s all about how annoying it is to pull out multiple wipes that are stuck together because, well, it’s a waste.
She says it works on “all wipes.”
The mom said the hack works for “all types of wipes,” which is great, because we all use different brands of wipes. For us, the ones that are on sale or that we can buy in bulk are best.
You need a hair tie OR a rubber band.
Using a hair tie or a rubber band, you basically tie it on the end of the wipes container/package. The reason behind this is that the tension on the package will keep other wipes inside when you pull.
The mom began to pull out singular wipes.
To prove the hack works, the mom pulled one wipe out at a time, showcasing that the hack is 100% brilliant. The band makes it so when you pull, the other ones stay behind, which is what we all want and need.
Now, you can save time and money!
With this hack, not only do you save money, but you also save time by only pulling out one at a time. And, you don’t have to spend more money to get something to fix it, too. We love an easy hack!
