They are soft, lint-free disposable cloths used during diaper changes, for gentle face and hand cleansing, and as a barrier under barrier cream. At 40-60 GSM they feel like a reusable cloth without the washing.

Which pack sizes sell best in bulk?
For cotton towels bulk orders, stock 50-80 count packs for pharmacies and baby stores, 20-30 count travel packs for convenience and e-commerce, and refill bundles for repeat buyers. A size-mix keeps reorders predictable.
