We did it! About three years ago, i found out about FC and brought it up to my DH as "one of those things those extreme hippies do" sort of joke. Every green/earth friendly change we've made over the years has been countered with "at least we're not using cloth to wipe our butts"...Since we had kids, we've cloth diapered them from the start. Two months ago, DH was complaining that the 7th Generation toilet paper was really expensive, but it was the only thing that was not too rough, not too flimsy, etc. I brought up FC, thinking he'd laugh it off as we had over the years. But this time he said, "Well, it's basically the same thing that we're doing for the kids (cloth wipes and diaper spray), so how is it any different for adults?" So last month I found a moose print flannel sheet in my fabric stash and sewed 106 wipes. I put it in a nice basket and relocated one of the diaper pails into the bathroom. We've only used toilet paper downstairs (my mother lives on the 1st floor and has a guest bath down there) for over a month now.

We're not looking back. And FC isn't a joke in our family anymore!!!
