Well, I tried it, and don't like it. First of all, it's a huge pain in the rear to cut a paper towel roll in half. Maybe I shouldn't have used a serrated knife, but it tears the edges up like crazy while you're sawing. Actually, I had to cut the roll into thirds because I wanted to store the wipes in my wipes-warmer, and a half-roll wouldn't fit into it. (I even called Bounty to suggest to them to sell 1/2-length rolls for those frugal moms who want to make their own wipes... and they wouldn't even give me any coupons to thank my for my suggestion!) So now when I pull the wipes out they are too long and thin, with shredded edges that leave paper-towel lint on DS's bum. I suppose it would be a little better if I had cut the roll in half, because then I could easily fold each wipe in half to make a 2-ply sheet with a little more area to it. But I didn't have any other containers I could use for that. Anyway, I don't think I'm going to do this again... I think I'm going to try just using cloth wipes (much to the horror of DH!  ). I am going to get more baby wash cloths, make the same water/baby oil/baby wash solution and put them in the wipes-warmer. Even cheaper than paper towels!
