These anti-fungal baby wipes are a simple make-your-own option when you want a gentler, more economical wipe solution with basic ingredients you can mix in minutes. You make the liquid first, soak half a roll of soft paper towels, then pull wipes from the center as needed.
The original formula is designed to discourage yeast diaper rashes. Keep in mind that homemade wipes are a convenience item, not a substitute for medical care.

🧻 Supplies You’ll Need
In order to make your own Baby wipes you’ll need the following items:
- Paper Towels (preferably a soft brand)
- Anti-Fungal Solution Above
- Container to put them in

👶 How to Make Anti-Fungal Baby Wipes
- Cut the paper towel roll in half.
- Pour the anti-fungal baby solution into a bowl large enough to hold the paper towels.
- Soak in paper towels in a bowl of the Anti-Fungal Baby Solution to absorb the moisture (20 minutes for a sealed, air tight container, overnight if not covered).
- Slide the cardboard center out of the paper towels.
- Place the wet Paper Towels in the Container.
- Pull out one at a time to use. Works best if taken from the center of the roll.
📦 Container and Paper Options
Paper Product (choose one)
Paper Towels (soft), Bounty, Viva, or a good brand that won’t fall apart.
CONTAINER (choose one)
- Empty Shortening Can
- Ice Cream Bucket
- Any small round container with plastic lid
With all these containers, you can cut an “X” into the plastic lid and then pull them out that way. It will hold the moisture in better. Have fun decorating the container if giving as a gift!
In addition to being more economical, most people claim these formulas cause fewer irritations on the skin.
💡 Tips for Best Results
- Use a soft, sturdy paper towel. Thin bargain rolls tend to shred once they sit in liquid for a while, which is not exactly helpful when you need one wipe and end up with confetti.
- Pull from the center. Removing the cardboard tube and drawing wipes from the middle usually gives you a cleaner feed.
- Do not make the wipes dripping wet. You want the roll thoroughly moistened, not swimming. If the container puddles at the bottom, rotate the roll once or twice so the liquid redistributes.
- Label the container. That matters if you keep homemade cleaning wipes elsewhere in the house.
🧊 Storage
Store the prepared wipes in a tightly covered container at room temperature in a cool, dry spot and use them within 3 to 4 days for the most conservative safety window. That shelf life is an estimate based on the water-containing mixture and general safe handling guidance for moist prepared items. If the wipes smell off, feel slimy, dry out unevenly, or show any discoloration, toss them and make a fresh batch.
If you’d rather make smaller batches more often, mix the liquid and soak only half a half-roll at a time. That cuts waste and gives you a fresher batch without much extra effort.
If a diaper rash is getting worse, spreading, blistering, or not improving, it’s smart to check the American Academy of Dermatology’s diaper rash guidance so you know when home care is no longer enough.

Frequently Asked Questions about MYO Anti-Fungal Baby Wipes
You can, but distilled water is the better choice here because it starts cleaner and has fewer minerals that can affect the mixture over time. Since these wipes stay moist in a container, distilled water is the safer, more practical pick if you want the batch to stay as stable as possible for the short storage window.
You can use soft cloth wipes if you prefer reusable ones. Just store the damp cloths in a covered container, wash them after one use, and keep the batch small so you’re not holding wet fabric for days longer than necessary.
That usually comes down to the paper towel brand. A soft but sturdy roll like Bounty or Viva tends to hold together better once soaked, while thinner towels can tear, bunch up, or turn into a mushy little mess by the third wipe.
Aim for evenly damp, not dripping. The roll should absorb the solution all the way through, but there shouldn’t be a deep pool sitting in the bottom of the container. If there is, turn the roll once or let it sit a bit longer before using it.
You can leave them out if you need a simpler mixture. The texture and basic wipe method will still work, but the original formula includes them as part of the anti-fungal wipe solution, so omitting them changes the blend rather than making the exact same version.
A small round container with a tight plastic lid works best because it helps hold moisture in. An empty shortening can or ice cream bucket also works, and cutting an X in the lid gives you an easier one-wipe-at-a-time pull.
You can, but half a roll is usually smarter for a homemade wet product with a short storage life. Making a smaller batch means you’ll use it up faster and waste less if the wipes dry out or the mixture loses freshness.
Toss them if they smell sour, feel slimy, discolor, or dry out unevenly. Homemade wet wipes don’t have the same preservative system as commercial ones, so when they look or smell questionable, don’t argue with them.
No, think of them as a supportive wipe option, not a guaranteed treatment. If the rash is severe, keeps coming back, spreads into the skin folds, or doesn’t improve with basic care, it’s time to call your child’s doctor.
Absolutely, especially if you package the container neatly and include clear use and storage notes. Just make sure the lid closes well so the wipes stay moist, because a pretty container isn’t much help if the batch dries out before it gets used.
