Do you just wet the wipes and put them in the wipe warmer or do you have water in the warmer itself and keep the wipes in water? I have a warmer that I used for our sposie wipes for a while until it started drying them out and burning the ones on the bottom. Didn't know if it would work for this. TIA!

This is what we do We have a Thermos pump pot, it's made to hold 12cups of coffee, but we don't drink nearly that much. It wasn't being used at all until I started using it for wipes. I fill it 3/4 full of boiling water and 1/4 full of water from the tap, makes for a good temp water for wipes. The pump pot keeps the water warm pretty much all day. We keep it by the kitchen sink b/c I also use it to wet the face cloths when I clean the kiddos up from meals (I have 4 children, 2 are in dipes FT, 3 of them eat all meals at the table).

This method REALLY saves us water b/c I'm not running the tap waiting for it to warm up, and I usually have a cup of tea at some point during the day, so I just use the leftover boiling water in the kettle (we're microwave free so I use a tea kettle on the stove top).
