"Good for poo!!"
When I opened the wipes the first thing that hit me was the smell of them. Not as bad as some I've smelt! Getting the wipes out without tearing them was tricky, but once about half the pack was gone it was easier.
The wipes tended to stick to my daughter as I used them, which she made clear was very annoying! I stopped using them for wet nappies as I didn't like the sticking factor, although I did find them good for a dirty nappy as they helped remove poo using less wipes (thanks to that sticking factor!) than I normally use. The fact that they are flushable also helped when emptying the nappy contents down the toilet, a lot less hassle than trying to separate wipes from poo!!
I did think they were quite expensive though and I think you are paying for the fact that they are flushable. If there was double the number of wipes in a packet for the same price I would buy them for dirty nappy use, but 1.49 for 40 wipes means I won't be buying them.

"bit disappointing"
when i first opened the packet i noticed the smell.it wasn't a smell i liked but my eldest daughter did.when using the wipes i had problems getting them out of the packet as they tore quite easily.they didn't seem to absorb anything and just smeared it around.they were great for face and finger wiping of my 8 year old and very gentle on her skin.i was quite disappointed with these wipes and would only purchase them for face wiping...not botty wiping

"disappointing"
I tested these wipes on my 19mth old son - Charlie.
I found the fragrance nice and they seemed to leave Charlie's bottom soft.
It was a shame that they fell apart easily, which isnt good with a dirty nappy. Also I needed to use more wipes than i usually do as they are quite dry.

"Very Gentle"
When i opened the lid / tab to the wipes i was first hit by the lovely smell of the wipes, they smelt so fresh it was lovely. Unfortunately that's where it stopped, as i tried to get the first wipe out while hold my daughters legs in the air i couldn't pull the wipe out and it just shredded into pieces.
Once i had used half the packet it was easier to get the wipes out but it took twice as many to clean a dirty bum than my usual brand and i found the wipes just rolled up as i wiped.
The wipes were lovely when wiping my children's hands and faces tho, they were very gentle on my daughter as she has eczema on her face and these wipes seemed to improve he skin and help her eczema.

"Good for potty"
I like the smell with these wipes but the quality was so disappointing for the price! I use another type of wipe with a simular smell but they are far better. The only standout plus point about these wipes are the fact that they are flushable! Another than that, I'm sorry to say they are like cheap wipes, rip to easy and difficult to take out in 1 piece! My eldest used them after using the potty and it was good just to beable to flush them but at £1.49 for 40 wipes, I won't be buying them.

"Better used as Wet Wipes!"
When I opened the packet, I really liked the smell, and I LOVE the fact that they are Environmentally Friendly!
BUT, I used more wipes that I usually would per nappy change as they are quite thin and tore easily. After I got half way through the packet, I used them as Wet Wipes for my sons hands and face, they were really good for this, as they weren't over wet as some wipes are. I would buy them as wet wipes in the future, especially for days out and holidays!

"disappointed"
The good thing about the baby wipes from Bambino mio are flushable,biodegradable and free from the nasty chemicals in many of the other baby wipes that are on the market. The wipes had a great smell but a funny after smell that I did not like. The wipes were very small reminded me of wet kitchen roll, they tore easily and I needed to use quite a few to clean Chloe's bottom. Overall not very good.

"Better as a toilet wipe than a nappy wipe"
We were sent a packet of wipes to test and the first thing that hit me was the smell. At first I felt a bit wary due to both my daughters having excema which can be easily aggrivated. However I need not have worried as they did not cause any reactions.
I was a little disappointed with the quality of the wipes themselves as it took a few more than normal to tackle an average dirty nappy. Although they did work well on helping with my 2 yr old who is toilet trained but still prefers toilet wipes to tissue. I worked my way through the pack a lot quicker than I do my normal brand of wipes. So while I like the enviromental aspect of being able to flush the wipes with 3 young children I also have to consider the impact on our budget of having to purchase more packs than normal. I would consider buying these wipes to use for my 4 and 2yr olds as toilet wipes but I would not buy them to use on my youngest in nappies.

"thinner than other types"
If I'm honest I wasn't over impressed with these wipes although they weren't the worst I've ever used. They were quite thin and we needed to use quite a few for each nappy change. Flushable is quite a good idea but TBH If your chucking the nappy away you just wrap the wipes in it and after a bad experience with BM nappy liners I'm reluctant to risk it. I would buy these for hand and face washing on days out but I couldn't afford to buy these just for nappy changes.

"smell great"
I was elated at getting wipes to test especially flushable ones, with 5 kids and 3 in nappies and 2 toilet trained I use loads of wipes.
I was hugely disappointment :-(. They smell great but that is all I liked about them I am sorry to say.
When I removed the seal and went to take the 1st wipe out it came out shredded as the wipe tore very easily. I took about 8 wipes to clean my youngests bum after a dirty bum where it would take 2 at most normally.
They felt like a very cheap wipe and instead of removing the poo they spread it. They seem quite dry too but too dry and seemed like they had been left open.
My husband nevere liked them either and usually does not notice when I change brands but this time he noticed.
