My WaterWipes baby wipes feel slightly dry, what can I do about this?

Because our baby water wipes don’t use chemicals to "bind" the liquid to the wipes, the water can sometimes migrate to the bottom of the pack. To remedy this, with the sticker properly resealed, turn your pack of WaterWipes baby wipes upside down and then gently squeeze and massage the pack for a few seconds. This will quickly redistribute the water more evenly throughout the pack, and get the water wipes back to the same consistent wetness that they had when they were made in our cleanroom process.If you are storing your wet wipes for some time, we recommend you the packs label-side down before use.

How do WaterWipes baby wipes clean?
