i have been totally into greening our home since i became pregnant in nov, and i have been slowly changing things in our home from detergents to methods of living and such, but since this takes a family effort, my husband basically was like do whatever, but i want tp for my pooh… so we agreed to compromise…since we would be using very little tp, we upgraded to some that i found on Alice.com that is treeless tp, made from bamboo…is amazing. great compromise.

this would be especially helpful when you are preggers and peeing so very much…

@ Meghan – We have 2 bathrooms and I keep cloth wipes in both, but I think having one “center of operation” makes perfect sense. Especially since it’s just you, you can just make sure you always pee in the right bathroom.

And lady, get ready to pee A LOT more! ;-D

I am lusting after the squares of flannel that I just cut from a ripped sheet, but I guess I’ll refrain from using them until I get something to put used ones in. Do you have more than one bathroom at your house? I have 3. :-P I think maybe I’ll just try to use one all of the time, and have that as my “center of operations.” Seems like a hassle to have piles of squares and a bucket in every bathroom.

I also have no idea how many I need. I have no sense of how often I pee in a day.

My daughter (potty trained 3 year old) and I have been using cloth wipes for about a year now. Just #1. She was cloth diapered and we used cloth wipes so it was an easy transition. I figured if I had no problem washing poopy diapers every few days. Washing slightly dampened wipes twice a week is nothing. I am using Imse Vimse’s organic cotton cloth wipes. I have a small garbage bin by the toilet for used ones and the clean ones are laid out in a pile on the counter. When my daughter uses toilet paper when we are out she hands it to me because she doesn’t know where to put it!

We use “wee wipes” in our house for #1s and have for ages now. My 4yo daughter loves them. As do I – so much softer than paper. I use old towels cut into small squares, and overlock the edges. Marvelous!

I’m still working my way up to this one; love the concept, just haven’t put it into place yet. I’ve been doing cloth for my womanly sanitary needs for over a year and a half and that’s all fine….not sure why family cloth should feel so different but it does. Probably has to do with the other 5 people in my household being less than enthusiastic!

many years ago in Morocco a savvy Dane confided in me that he used strips of silk and washed them after use and I guess pegged them to his backpack to dry ‘en route’. Old fine silk shirts or frocks etc could be used as fine silk dries super fast. Found this site looking for plans for an alternative toilet for semi remote no electricity spot on coast of NSw, Australia. Any help out there/currently bury my offerings but no good for visitors.

I’ve been thinking about this for a while, after reading about it on another blog, but have yet to take the plunge (ha!). Thanks for the instructions, as a matter a fact I just came across an old torn sheet that I wasn’t sure what to do with. Now I know, so you may be joining you very soon…
