The Latest "Green" Craze: Reusable Toilet Paper?! (And I thought Sheryl Crow was nuts!)

Posted on 08/26/2008 5:50:31 AM PDT by EdnaMode

"Alright," you say, "You've convinced me about cloth diapers, and I understand using cloth gift bags and napkins. But toilet paper??" For some people, making the switch to cloth toilet wipes is a huge leap, that's true. But it doesn't need to be!

Using cloth toilet wipes actually has many advantages. For one, it's a lot more comfortable and soft on your most delicate body parts. It's also more economical, uses less paper, and saves you those late-night trips to the store. And cloth wipes can be used wet without any of the sopping disintegration that regular toilet paper is prone to. For a discussion of the practical aspects of using cloth toilet wipes, please check out our page detailing How to Use Cloth Wipes.

From the How to use cloth wipes section:

” Using cloth wipes for urine-only visits to the bathroom is so simple it’s hardly worth mentioning. Go, wipe, and then toss the wipe into whatever container you prefer.

Using cloth wipes for other toilet visits is not any more difficult, but there is a certain ick factor involved. Consider how much waste you’re willing to leave on your children’s diapers or wipes when you toss them in the pail. Use the same standards for yourself. Shake, scrape, swish, or squirt off anything you don’t want in your laundry, and then toss the wipe into the pail or container. (Personally speaking, we just wipe and toss in the pail.)”

We could do it the roman way and pass around a sponge on a stick. Just make sure you hand the stick to the next guy the right way so he doesn’t get the sh*tty end of the stick.

I make it a point never to do business with someone who uses their religion to sell their business. Like this one, although it’s easy in this case.
