How long do they stay "wet" without opening them? I hope they last till June because I have several boxes! On the botom they say they expire in Whatever that means?
Newest First. I am up to 3 boxes of wipes each I think. Now I am not sure whether to go to Costco today and get another box even though they are on sale. I would think they would stay moist if not opened and I wonder why they have an expiration date? But if you have them inside your house and not the trunk of your car, they're fine. I hope u ladies are stocking up on wipes you like cause not all wipes are created equal.
For example, I got a big box of one of the parents choice wipes. Close to These particular wipes were not folded into each other so when you pulled one out the other didn't follow it like a tissue does. It was so annoying especially on the poopy diapers. Oogies, Never knew that Happiness, Ive only purchased Huggies Sensitive! It is SOOO annoying when they dont fold together! The box was never opened.

I buy like 2 big boxes around wipes at a time and have never had trouble with them going dry. You could always pour a little water in to moisten them also. I've heard that even if they dry out, you can just wet them with water and they'll be as good as new! I'm a FTM, though, so I'm not entirely sure if this is true.
It sounds accurate, though. We got a ton of wipes at our shower too and someone suggested to me that I store the extra ones upside down. She said that way, if the moisture starts to settle towards the bottom, when you flip them over, the tops ones with still be wet enough. Not sure if that works, but I stored most of that that way when we put everything away yesterday! It is important to check and see the expiry date and best before dates before proceeding to purchase an item.
