Now that we’re firmly planted in the back-to-school routine (at this point it just becomes the school routine), we’re ready for that next adventure in it. This is the point when the weather turns more crisp and little noses start to run. Hopefully, it’s just that – a runny nose from endless time outside enjoying the fresh air and the crunch of leaves beneath our feet. For some, it turns into more (and yes, that nasty flu is bound to make an appearance at some point in our area) but hopefully most of us get through the cold and flu season unscathed. I’ve got my arsenal ready, and it goes beyond the box of tissues and packages of antibacterial wipes listed on my school supply list.
At home, I ensure we’re stocked up on acetaminophen and ibuprofin – the first works to lower fevers which is typically the first sign for my little ones that they’re coming down with something, and the second is to help the aches and pains that typically come with a sore throat and cough. For little red noses, raw from running and blowing and wiping, we use Boogie Wipes. And no, this isn’t like a commercial where the person says they totally use a product and then simply don’t. We always have Boogie Wipes on hand in our household, for years now, and I regularly send them to school in my youngest’s backpack for her teacher to use in the classroom as well!
Boogie Wipes are made with natural saline to help dissolve boogies (the snotty kind…the crusty kind…) that are a result of colds, allergies or just, well, boogers. They’re alcohol, paraben and phthalate free (alcohol would add to the ouch, not help it) but do contain vitamin E, aloe, and chamomile.
When your little one (uh, and you, I use them too) have a sore runny nose, Boogie Wipes help clean and soothe without any ouch. While my kids are older (6, 9, and 13) and understand the necessity of wiping your nose, little ones and toddlers especially will fight hard to avoid it when their noses are red and sore. Boogie Wipes help break that association with wiping = ouch, and builds a positive association of soothing and comfort instead.
You can find Boogie Wipes in three variations – Fresh Scent, Great Grape (our favorite!) and Unscented – at retailers like Walmart, Loblaws, Real Canadian Superstore, Shoppers Drug Mart, Lawton Drugs, Toys R Us and London Drugs at a suggested retail price of $3.99-$4.99 for the 30 Count Packs and $9.99-$10.99 for the 90 Count Value Packs.

Boogie Wipes really are the best. 🙂 I sometimes give them with my gift at baby showers.
These are life changing! Always have some on hand.
Not looking forward to the runny noses but I think I can handle it with awesome products from Boogie Wipes!
I love using boogie wipes and it helps that my granddaughter loves them as well, it helps with trying to clean her face!
There’s nothing worse than a sore, stinging nose so these are so useful!
We all use Boogie Wipes in our household. They are terrific.
I think these wipes are great for the prevention of sore noses on the little ones especially because they are always getting sick. It might also help to teach them about germs.
I really like Boogie Wipes and always have some on hand. My little ones don’t mind wiping their noses with the purple-scented ones :).
No colds yet in our household but I will stock up and be prepared.
Boogie Wipes are so convenient to have on the go and in the car!
I seriously need to get on trying these! I have heard so much about them but have yet to try them
I always have Boogie Wipes on hands for when my granddaughters visit.
These are great, sore nosea are terrible
I’ve never tried these but it really sounds like they are great. Will be shopping for some on my next shopping trip
Love Boogie Wipes, even the adults in this house use them when runny noses are around.
Oh gosh – my son loved the grape scented ones when he was a toddler!
These are such great products for the litlle ones
So true! I remember the days when my kids were little – we used to go through them like water! They are much easier on their soft little noses though!!
I love having boogie wipes on hand — they’re so convenient!
I have tried a sample of the Boogie Wipes before and they are awesome! They are perfect for a runny nose or getting to those hard boogs 🙂 Might as well make something kinda gross not so gross lol
Boogie Wipes are the best, I carry them in my purse always. I really cannot stand runny noses..lol
I like that they’re soothing. Much better than red, chapped skin.
These look awesome! My 6 year old boy would get such a kick out of the name alone!
Great Grape sounds like fun.
