Listen, I know there are a lot of problems in the world...

but how come no one ever talks about when you are pulling a baby wipe out of the plastic package, and the next baby wipe does not follow the one you pulled out of the hole, and it remains flat in the package so you have to try to find the crease and dig it out with your fingernails but you are half blind and can't see the crease so you end up destroying 2 or 3 baby wipes with your fingernails trying to dig one out?

I mean, Jesus Christ, you people are always complaining, so why don't you complain about REAL problems like this one?

Please get off your ass and DO SOMETHING about this shit.

And please, don't give me any "helpful tips" on how to prevent this from happening. I don't want to hear it.

I too have suffered the debilitating anguish of the non-compliant wipe, and I'm so glad someone else has the courage to bring this to others' attention. Together, maybe one day we'll bring this atrocity to an end, and no longer will people be subjected to the heartbreak of the non-compliant wipe.

Hey, I'm serious about this!

When all the wipes are connected together, and pulling out one gets you two or three. Stainless steel wipes are not cheap.

The tissue never come out unless you hold the box with one hand so you can pull the tissue with the other! And half the time the damned tissue tears in half instead of coming out as one piece!

My husband loves those little boxes and gets them instead of real Puffs tissue boxes with big holes so I can just snatch a handful of tissues when I am sneezing.

The only way to get a handful of tissues out of those little boxes is to rip the box open and pick up handfuls of the tissues that fall to the floor - which I know from experience having ripped many of little box open in my time.

Helpful tip - rip the damn plastic packages open and put the baby wipes into something better.

This is a conspiracy by the baby wipes companies to make you buy more than you need. It is a travesty and we must take action!
