NAMED ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL BOOKS OF THE DECADE BY CNN - NAMED ONE OF PASTE'S BEST MEMOIRS OF THE DECADE - NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Times Book Review - O: The Oprah Magazine - The Washington Post - People - Entertainment Weekly - Vogue - Los Angeles Times - San Francisco Chronicle - Chicago Tribune - New York - Newsday - Library Journal - Publishers Weekly In a profound work that pivots from the biggest questions about American history and ideals to the most intimate concerns of a father for his son, Ta-Nehisi Coates offers a powerful new framework for understanding our nation's history and current crisis. Americans have built an empire on the idea of "race," a falsehood that damages us all but falls most heavily on the bodies of black women and men--bodies exploited through slavery and segregation, and, today, threatened, locked up, and murdered out of all proportion. What is it like to inhabit a black body and find a way to live within it? And how can we all honestly reckon with this fraught history and free ourselves from its burden? Between the World and Me is Ta-Nehisi Coates's attempt to answer these questions in a letter to his adolescent son. Coates shares with his son--and readers--the story of his awakening to the truth about his place in the world through a series of revelatory experiences, from Howard University to Civil War battlefields, from the South Side of Chicago to Paris, from his childhood home to the living rooms of mothers whose children's lives were taken as American plunder. Beautifully woven from personal narrative, reimagined history, and fresh, emotionally charged reportage, Between the World and Me clearly illuminates the past, bracingly confronts our present, and offers a transcendent vision for a way forward.

fast bathroom touch-ups
Great for fast bathroom touch-ups -- that four-times-a-day wiping away drips, toothpaste, and splashes. Sensitive formula won't dry out your skin. These are great to have on hand.
I buy tons of these for disaster prep -- when there's no water, it's nice to have a way to keep fresh. Also good for barter, if SHTF.

Great Makeup Wipes
These baby wipes are, hands down, the best baby wipes I have ever used. I use them for taking off my makeup before washing my face (much cheaper than buying makeup wipes). They are durable wipes and they really break down the makeup, yet they are super soft on the skin. They have a light fresh smell too, which is good because I use them on my face.

Perfect for my babies
The Pampers Sensitive Wipes, 448 count, seem to be the best for my children/ babies. After using Costco and other cheaper wipes that caused rashes and other issues, we discovered Pampers Sensitive Wipes. They not only worked great cleaning up the typical baby messes, they did not cause any rashes after use. P & G seem to always be on top of providing quality products to their customers.

Sensitive and Versatile
Wow! This is a big box. I wanted to try some new wipes for the barn and camping. The fact that they were labelled sensitive attracted me to them. It might have been a good idea to try a smaller package first. Fortunately I'm delight with these.
The wipes have a soft cloth feel that's not as thin and synthetic feeling as some others. They seem to pick up more of what I'm trying to wipe when some others just smear stuff around.
With such a big supply, it's been easy to spread these around to several places to have them on hand. The Prime Pantry price was low enough that I don't feel bad using disposables.

Great for sensitive skin but they could use more texture
I am glad these don't cause a rash on my son's sensitive skin but I don't really like how slippery/slimey these wipes are since it makes it harder to clean my kid's bottom. I have to use more wipes than I'd like because a single wipe doesn't really have the texture to get all the mess off. I do like these wipes to give my kids to wipe their faces and hands since my kids say they are soft, but their softness makes them less effective at wiping off messes on the bottom of my toddler. I think I will stick with less expensive brands of wipes that have a texture that is better at cleaning off my little guy.
