Leaving tomorrow-baby wipes in carry on okay?

[MouseTrip07]

We are leaving tomorrow and I am starting to panic about our baby wipes not making it through security...I checked the TSA website and didn't see them mentioned as "banned" but I would hate to be wrong about this.
My gut feeling is that the ban is just for actual liquids and gels, but because the wipes are moist, I am nervous.

Thanks,
Jennifer

Wipes in any form are fine. Purell bottles would be allowed as long as they are less than 3.4 oz, you would put them in a clear quart bag and put it through the x-ray separate. Liquids and gels are not totally banned in carryon, they just need to be less than 3.4 oz (100ML).

Don't panic! I just flew with a 18 month old at the beginning of January. I feared going through security with him becaues of all the "extras" you take with you when you have a baby. I read the TSA website and pretty much packed most of our stuff in the checked luggage except wipes.

My husbad is a diabetic though, and I packed his insulin in a ziplock bag and put it in a insulated cooler with a blue gel pack. I knew that there would be a possibility of them making me throw away the gel pack. If it happened I was ok with that.

Security never even looked at it! Both on our trip down to FL and our return trip.

I say relax, they aren't as picky as the media is making them out to be!
