The one item you need to fix the 'avalanche' of baby wipes

TikTok creator and mum @__linnduhh shared the now-viral video where she addresses the annoying issue of the 'avalanche' of baby wipes. You know the one...

Oh, you just wanted one baby wipe? How about three bonus ones all attached to each other, like a magician pulling out never-ending scarves from their hat?

You've got one hand holding up your tot's legs and the other getting the wipes... and in your one-handed effort to retrieve said baby wipe, you end up lifting up way more than you need.

Yes, it's a relatively small issue, but think about how many nappies you change every day - it all adds up.

So when Linduh shared her hack, we listened.

The mum starts the clip by demonstrating the common problem and then shows herself wrapping two hair ties around each side of the baby wipes packet.

The hair ties hold down the packet when she goes to pull a wipe out and miraculously only one comes out. No more wasted wipes!

Honestly, someone needs to either a) invent baby wipes that have this design feature inbuilt, or b) patent 'baby wipe hair ties' made specifically for this purpose.

Until then, we're super impressed with this simple, cheap and effective tip!

Linduh also added in the comments that it's important to "wrap the wipes tight" in order for this to work.

"Why am I just seeing this now?"

Lots of fellow mums took to the comments to share their praise for Linduh's easy idea.

"What is this sorcery?!" one fan wrote.

Another said: "I'm going to cry, why am I just seeing this now? 😥"

"I'm so doing this," one viewer said, while another woman replied, "Thanks for solving this everyday problem for parents... it does that especially when you have a baby who likes to crawl away with poop while you're trying to wipe."

"This is such a great hack, thanks for sharing," wrote somebody else.

A lot of mums also took to the comments to suggest that people use Huggies nappies as they have "one-wipe technology."
