Family Wipes Users - Tell me more!  

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
We have a bidet type attachment sprayer on our toilet that we use instead of toilet paper, but I still like to use tp to then pat dry with after using the sprayer, rather than just leaving myself clean but dripping wet, lol. So dh and I were talking about using family wipes instead for that purpose, and stop the use of wasteful toilet paper consumption. My questions, though...

-Do you still keep tp on the roll holder for company that isn't as green friendly?

-How do you store the wipes to keep them on hand for use? A basket?

-How many do you recommend starting with?

-Do you dry-pail until washing? Again, we'll be using them to just dry off.

Thanks so much!!

Yes. I'd be grossed out by non-family cloth, I think. If anyone even used it-- actually, now that I think about it, my dd's 2yo friends use them, but that doesn't bother me!

Yep, a basket on the back of the toilet tank. That's the only flat surface available in my bathroom.

We have around 70, but that's cuz we've got a pregnant mama and a toddler around-- we go through about 15-20 a day.

We drypail in a wetbag that hangs from the bathroom doorknob-- again, tiny bathroom, so well within reach. HTH!

Yes we do, but I try to keep more enviro-friendly paper on the roll.

We have ous in a wipes warmer on the toilet.

-How many do you recommend starting with?
I think we have around 50.

Yes, my husband has not yet jumped on board

Right now they are in a stack on the side table, but I do have a basket I have been meaning to take in there.

[/QUOTE]-How many do you recommend starting with?[/QUOTE]

I started with 4 dozen
