I have been reading the family cloth threads on this board with alot of interest. I cloth diapered my kiddos, and use cloth pads/Diva cup. I also cannot believe how much TP we go through in this house and I seem to be sensitive lately "down there" to paper!! We also have a well/septic system and the septic is 25yrs old, so the less we flush down there the better!
I am pretty sure that dh will not use this, so we will have the token TP for him. So, it's just me and the kiddos for the cloth wipes. I plan on using two layers of flannel and need to find someone to serge them together, print on one side and solid for the other. I tried one of my old diaper wipes (yes we still have them, use them for faces) after a bathroom trip, and I would say that the 6x6 size is quite nice.
I am wondering how many to make though for the three of us, so that we can do laundry maybe once a week for them?
On a side note I almost bought paper towels today, but, I cut up 2 old awkwardly sized towels tonight and rounded off the corners, and again will find a seamstress to serge the edges for me. I now have 16 cloth "paper towels" for kitchen wipe ups/doing the counters and tables (I hate using my dishrag on the counter. I also have some REALLY old towel rags for the bad jobs, like dog puke or chicken juices!).
Sounds nerdy to be so excited about it, but I am, LOL! I knew you all would understand!
