I buy the Walmart brand xl 12X8inch wipes.  DH doesn't like the cold wipes and one of the aids suggested a wipe warmer like the ones used for babies.
  
Not having any luck finding one so was wondering if anyone purchased one of these that will fit the xlarge wipes?  

Thanks

    I got mine on Amazon . It doesn’t fit the X-Large wipes per say but You can put them in there and just fold them over a little. You have to just put a little less to accommodate the fold over. 

      I couldn’t go back to cold wipes! It’s my favorite gadget .

    I ended up just running warm water over the wipes, since we were in the bathroom, it was no issue.

    i was hoping there were some product links, if allowed, on this post. I’ve tried microwaving wipes and dipping them in warm water but mom still says they are cold. Has anyone found anything else that might help?

    check out the baby supplies. They’re commonly used for baby wipes.

    go to the Walmart website and search for a baby wipe warmer. You’ll find several options. I hope this helps.
