Bring on Kandoo from pampers. I saw the advert for these toilet wipes and to be honest didn’t really give them a second glance – James, eagle eyed as children are did! On our next supermarket trip in went the box of Kandoo and I was told ‘we really really need them and if your good mummy you can use them too’ ah bless his cotton socks!

When the time comes for the use of the wipes, it is very easy for children to take wipes out. Pop open the lid, and as long as mum or dad have pulled the first wipe up, you can just grab a wipe and use.
The wipes come out one by one, which is great as I can remember James getting baby wipes – usually ending up with 3 or 4 stuck together.
James my small big 'un is at that age where he wants to do everything for himself. He wants to ‘cook’ his own meals from the contents of the fridge – mainly consisting of yoghurt, jelly, chocolate mini rolls and carrots and he wants to be totally independent in the toilet area too.
Having tried to erm wipe his behind with conventional toilet paper with some success and mess, resulting in shredded bits of paper being stuck where the sun don’t shine, we thought well how about trying some baby wipes. The only problem using baby wipes is I find them very ‘wet’ and they are not supposed to be flushed down the toilet, so we had to have nappy sacks in the toilet for them to be put in. James didn’t like using the wipes very much as he told me it felt like he was still a baby, plus he sometimes would forget to put them in the bag to be thrown away.

Kandoo come in a lovely little box – smaller than your usual baby wipes box, and shaped like a toilet when the lid is popped up. They are really eye catching as the bulk of the box is purple and the lid and base are lime green! There is a large rubberised button on the box; to make the lid pop up and this is where the wipes are dispensed. It only requires gentle pressure on the button to make the lid pop up and the lid is simply pushed down to close.
To open the packet you need to remove the base of the box and take out the packet of wipes inside. Remove the film from the top and place the packet back inside and replace the base. Your little ‘un is now ready to go!
James promptly marched off to the toilet armed with his books and his Kandoo box!

The wipes themselves are slightly longer than one sheet of toilet paper, and feel quite thick. When used they do not fragment like paper and with the lotion contained in the wipes they clean very well. The wipes smell good enough to eat, having a lovely melon fragrance – not too overpowering at all. The lotion doesn’t make the wipes too wet, just slightly damp. James certainly hasn’t complained about the sensation like he did with baby wipes. Just giving my hands a good wipes with them leaves them smelling fresh and feeling clean, without stickiness and they feel dry almost as soon as I have wiped them.
The best thing about Kandoo wipes is that they are biodegradable and can be flushed down the toilet – this is an excellent idea, as James used to forget to put the old wipes in the nappy sack to be thrown away and on occasions blocked the toilet! You can flush a maximum (according to the box) of five wipes at one time, but to be honest we have found that one wipe does the business with the business, with wipe number two just to be sure.
I found Kandoo wipes at my local Safeway store on special offer of £1.99 for 60 wipes instead of the usual price of £2.99. I didn’t see the refill packs at the time of purchase, but as they are quite new, I expect to see them in time. I can definitely see myself buying these again, as it has encouraged James to clean himself after toileting, they really do keep him clean and fresh in the bottom department and are environmentally and skin friendly.
Final words from James “They are soft and snuggly botty wipes and are ever so cool can I take them to nursery?"
Advantages: Flushable and easy for children to use. Disadvantages: expensive
Kandoo toilet wipes are in an attractive purple and green plastic box with a lovely 'feely' soft button to pop the lid up with. This, in fact proved to be so fascinating to my small son that he fiddled with the box so much that the spring mechanism broke on the box. Therefore I had to spend money on a new box for the refills to go in. Actually, I have been fiddling with the lid myself to write this review and it is so much fun to play with, that ... ...frog footprints, along with a kandoo sample and the money off voucher. My son was so enthralled with the sticker chart that I decided that purchasing the complete box of wipes was the way forward to boost his enthusiasm for toilet training. (It had been a very long process so far.) The main advantage to the wipes, in my opinion, is that they are flushable. Toddler poo tends to be of the sticky variety so you do not want to have bits of dry toilet ...

Advantages: Gives your bum a fresh wipe. Disadvantages: If you don't watch your child they tend to use to much.
...the door to promote the Kandoo Toilet Wipes. It came in a large envelope with a little book for the children. Which they could colour and teach them how to use the toilet ,and making sure they wiped and flushed. It even got down to the details of washing their hands. And what also was great was there were four sheets of stickers. that they put into the book if they done a good job of going to the tiolet.
Now the voucher's that we got ,were to get ... ...shop around.
Now the Kandoo refill box is a deep purple colour with a green pop up lid that opens and closes very easy. To open you press the button on the top of the container that is a soft plastic, green also in colour but a darker shade to the lid. And there you are presented with a round little booklet that has a green frog washing his hands. You then unfold this piece of paper and it has all froggies friends( boy and girl frogs ahhhhhh). Then ...

...a book to fill with Kandoo hand print stickers, also supplied free which were to be stuck on when your child masters different stages of going to the toilet on their own such as wiping themselves and washing and drying their hands by themselves. It also came with a Well Done Certificate when they are staying dry and a little keep out sign to hang on the door handle of the bathroom. Great ideas and I have to give top marks for these hand outs as they ... ...which sell for 98p for 60. Whatever make you choose, wipes are a great idea and I can't fault the quality of the Kandoo wipes as they are softer than the Tesco ones but it all depends, at the end of day,what you are willing to pay. ...

...coupons in the mail for Kandoo wipes. The cost of these wipes are around £2.80 to £3.00 in most stores (Boots, Tesco, Sainsburys) and I had received two £1 vouchers so I thought I would give them a go at a bargain price (we all like a bargain don't we?).

Advantages: Kids love them and they make learning to wipe yourself very easy Disadvantages: Plumbing hates them.
Kandoo wipes may claim to be "flushable", but first hand experience just showed me my pipes can't handle them. I just paid a plumber $200 to remove a wad of them out of my main sewer line to the house. When the plumber pulled the snake out of the sewer line it looked like a long q-tip with a Kandoo tip. No more Kandoo in this house unless we buy a diaper genie. The kids will be disappointed to see them go. They've gotten used to them over the last ...

say so on their website. But again, this could be over a very long time, and the word you want to see is 'dispersible', which is the magic word you want to reassure you that your drain won't get blocked... If you fancy doing some simple home science with the kids, get three jars of water, and put a piece of loo paper in the first, a Kandoowipe in the second, and an ordinary babywipe (which you wouldn't normally put down the loo) in the third, and see over a few days if the wipes break up in the water like the paper does. If you try this, please leave a comment to say how you get on! If the Kandoowipe doesn't break up in the water, you might want to calculate how many have gone down the loo and where they might be sitting.... ...
Advantages: Soft and strong Disadvantages: Not wet enough for me.
I was recently sent a pack of Pampers Sensitive Babywipes for testing from one of my survey sites and as these are available to buy in the shops I thought I would do a review on them.
My usual brand is Johnsons and have always got on very well with them but if something is free I will definately use them.

Toilet training is a big step for any child and obviously some take to it quicker than others. Most people start off encouraging their little ones to use a potty before moving on to the big toilet! Once my daughter was trained using the potty she was very happy to use this although for some reason she was quite reluctant to then move on to using the toilet, especially at home.
I had seen Kandoowipes in quite a number of her small friends' houses and she was always very happy to use the toilet in those places, so I thought it would be worth buying some to use at home and to make a special fuss of putting them in the toilet! Also, we kept saying that big girls use the toilet rather than the potty, so I made a point of saying that these were big girls' wipes as oppose to the 'baby' wipes I was using on her little sister.
