It's interesting. We alwways were just going to use wipes, I learned in Israel to and dh's brother does. Well, turns out that our VERY frum and learned rav uses wipes! I almost fainted. Well, we still use the spray because that's what we do, but it has happened that there was a problem I don't know if I lost the spray or the diaper was horrible, but we used wipes once. It wasn't a psak we ever got from a Rav and we know our Rav uses them, so I don't see a prob. On the other hand, you could make your own spray, though I don't find it works as well, or, you could have someone send you a box at once.

I vote for Psak shopping. You should ask every rabbi you know.

There is a website- you type in the answer you want - the website gives you a list of which rabbis to ask!!

You need to ask a different Rav why it's okay to use baby wipes, so you will understand and not think you are being meikal or doing something that is not really okay.
It's so much easier for a Rav to say something is assur. It's much harder and requires much more knowledge to say something is mutar.

sleek sensation is a company that makes wipes that are said are ok to use on shabbos, due to the wipes being more of a nylon type, that does not absorb nor tear, as opposed to the cotton, that does absorb and tear. check it out.

It doesn't sound like your first rav said "no" in the first place... so why you would have to call him?

that's funny u said that,Rabbi L. Schapiro says this all the time. he said someone who truly knows the halacha knows that there are ways around things.the halacha isn't there to make things so difficult/unpleasant for someone.
I guess that's why we have chumros,minhagim

I am not at all questioning the permissibility of using baby wipes on Shabbos. Rather, I don't fell it is appropriate for me personally to use them having been told "be machmir" until the Rabbi who told me to be machmir tells me that it is ok for me to be meikil. |
Listen, if you could, you'd be machmir. But how far do you have to go ?

I don't understand how using wipes is being meikel. It's halachically allowed. No machmir not meikel - both are allowed.
