Default cloth wipe size?

What size wipes do you like? I have seen 8x8 and 6x9 and I think larger and smaller. AHHH! too many decisions. I want to try a few as I got a sample pack of those honey chunks to try. DH still isnt sure about the cloth wipe issues so I dont want to get too many. What do you suggest?

Default RE: cloth wipe size?

For Cadie (6 months), I like the smaller ones I received as a sample from Very Baby. They are about 5x5. For Brig (almost 3), I like the others I have which are about 6 1/2x6 1/2. I'm off to measure those to make sure that's right...
ETA: Do you have a website? I have to go back to Homebiz and see who I'm thinking of. I'm looking for the person who embellishes prefolds.

I have mostly 8x8, which have shrunk to 7.5 or 7. This is a good general size for poops, cleaning up during meal times, and for myself (yes, I've started using them too, LOL). But I have a few 6x6 and 4x4's and I like those for precision cleaning or for wiping up the toilet after spraying a poopy diaper (I just spray with my homemade disinfectant spray and wipe). If anyone has too many wipes, I probably do. :) I must have 4 dozen? But I'm ordering another 1.5 dozen because I've decided that I personally am going to switch to mostly cloth wipes. I was tired of going through so many rolls of toilet paper, mostly because of me!

You won't regret it! If I can convince DH to switch as well, then I won't have the problem of Kaya unrolling the rolling every time she gets a hand on it! ;)
