How To

How to Use a Munchkin Wipe Warmer

Munchkin Wipe Warmers were created for two main reasons. This product allows wipes to stay warm, making the diaper changing process much less traumatic for babies (especially newborns). Many times, the shock of a cold wipe against sensitive skin can be enough to upset a baby, while they may not feel terribly cold to us. The wipe warmers also keep wipes from drying out. The plastic, close down lid shuts automatically, making it impossible for wipes to be left out in the open.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Munchkin Wipe Warmer
  • Wipes
  • Access to electricity

    Using Your Wipe Warmer

  1. Step 1

    Set up your wipe warming system. It is most convenient on the baby's changing table or wherever you will be changing diapers the most. Most changing tables are large enough so that the wipe warmer can sit on the end with still plenty of room left for the baby. The warmer will need access to an electrical outlet to function, so take this into account when setting up your warmer.

  2. Step 2

    Install the wipes. Once your wipe warmer is plugged in, follow the steps to open the top of the wipe warmer container. Place an open, unwrapped stack of wipes into the warmer. It is easy (and cheap) to purchase boxes of wipe refills that already come separated and ready for the wipe warmer. Make sure that wipes are completely unwrapped, but try not to handle the stack too much when putting them into the container.

  3. Step 3

    Close the lid. Close the top of the wipe container, securing it down. Let the wipes sit for at least 10 minutes, giving them time to warm up. After they are warm, open the smaller lid and pull the top wipe through the hole provided. Once it is pulled through, a new wipe will pop up in its place. Your Munchkin Wipe Warmer is ready to use!

  4. Buying Wipes and Wipe Warmers

  5. Step 1

    Visit the following authorized dealers to buy the Munchkin Wipe Warmer, in-store and online: Babies 'R US, Target, and Wal-Mart.

  6. Step 2

    Choose between the two different types of Munchkin Wipe Warmers. Both have the same function of keeping wipes both warm and moist. One is a standard wipe warmer while the other has a soft light, perfect for changing diapers in a dark room.

  7. Step 3

    Buy wipes. Many times, boxes of wipes will specify whether they are compatible with wipe warmers. Some work better than others so this is really a trial and error process to find which kind of wipe you most prefer. Some parents prefer soft wipes for sensitive skin, while others prefer wipes to be sturdy.

Tips & Warnings
  • As with all electrical products, be sure to keep both the plug and the outlet out of the reach of children.
