How do these work? Please explain someone. Do you just wet them and then wash as with nappies? how do you store them if you are carrying them around etc.... I just can't imagine them. I think they are a great idea but want to know the ins and outs !! Thanks in advance.
reusable wipes???

I use them. In the house I have stored them in a plastic container then when I want to use one I usually just wet it under a warm tap. If Seren is particularly dirty I use loo roll to get rid of the mess and will sometimes use a little baby soap. When I'm out I have a little spray pump of wipe solution, and I carry the wipes in a little plastic container. When I have finished with them I put them in a wetbag with the nappy and will wash them with the nappies.
I use them too 
They are fantastic and come in really handy around meal times aswell
If Ella has a little nappy rash then I make up a solution of camomile tea, t-tree oil and lavender oil, poor it into a plastic pampers wipes container and put a load of reusables wipes in there. That will last a couple days, the solution will clear it up no problems. If I am out and about I just wet under a tap or use a bit of water (I normally carry at least a litre of water with me as I am always so thirsty!). I do have some Huggies ones that I will take with me too incase there is an emergency nappy change, but the chemical smell of them really turns my stomach now
Can really recommend having a stash of them

I normally steep one organic camomile teabag in a pint of water for about 10-15 mins, then add 4 drops of t-tree and about 6 of lavender
You can decant some solution into a mini spray bottle to take out and about with you

they are really easy to use as they are thicker (found wet wipes too thin), cheaper and you get some funky patterns (seren has leopard print, pink camo etc)
Cassi, this is the solution I use though when it runs out I'm copying Kina
wipe solution
and these are the wipes I use

Definately economical if you make your own solution or just use water.
Say you buy 40 wipes at an average cost of 30p each - £12. What is the cost of a packet of huggies/pampers? £2 at least aren't they? I know that I used to get through a packet of wipes in around 5 days! So I'd spend that in a month, whereas the reusables just go on and on and on. Definately worth buying and you know exactly what you're using on your babies skin. I never really used to think about things like that and used normal wipes and nappies. I hate putting Ella in disposables at night now, the absorbent panel feels so crunchy, think of all the chemicals in there next to her bum all night, yuck! And the same with wipes and all the ingredients listed on them. I'm glad that I made the change now, best thing I did for Ella's bootie and my pocket!
