Does anyone actually use a wipe warmer?

My room is cold at all but the wipes are still cold because they are wet, so I leave them in the warmer.
I used one with my first baby but the warmer started drying out the wipes so with my second I didn’t use one and she’s been fine.
i don’t use a wipe warmer and actually for my son normally before i change him i’ll tuck the cold wipe into his diaper so if he has anymore pee, that’ll stimulate getting the rest out so he doesn’t pee on me
I dont think there is anything negative to using them other than maybe baby getting used to it and being upset when your on the go and don't have one. I've never used one just felt it was one extra thing i dont need. But definitely wouldn't let people shame you for using it
I think it honestly depends if you have a boy or a girl. Boys are more likely to pee on you with cold wipes I’ve noticed lol. But I haven’t had any issues with my wipe warmer. Other than when I leave town for a few days and we come back, the wipes left in there will be super dried out. So I’ve learned to take the wipes out if we’re leaving for a few days
I LOVE my wipe warmer. I change out the moisture pad every 3 months like recommended and go with it. We don't use it as much this baby because I actually don't wipe if it's just pee over night. Honestly my husband and I considered keeping it for our bedroom for late nights when the kids are done with it lol 🤭
I don’t use it anymore because I rarely change my baby at night but I am literally using a second hand wipe warmer that my sister used when her son was a baby and works just fine!
Good room temp for baby is around 68-72 degrees. So the wipes are going to be room temp if they’re not in a warmer. But baby’s skin temp is in the mid/high 90s so wipes will feel chilly even if the room is a good temp. So don’t listen to people saying your room is too cold. Moist and warm definitely makes it possible for bacteria/mold to grow, so just wipe out the warmer after every pack or two of wipes and you’ll be fine. Don’t worry about what other people do- if you want to use a wipe warmer go for it. If you don’t, baby will also be fine. I just warm it up in my hands for a few seconds if it feels particularly chilly 🤷🏻♀️
I have been using a wipe warmer since my baby was born, and still uses it and he has been fine. I don’t see anything online about it breeding bacteria as well.
