While pinning on Pinterest I found this – which is actually something someone sells on Etsy.
Do you think this is taking frugality to far? Or does someone just really love the planet?
I really do not know to think… I am going to stick with my Charmin

Yea, I wouldn’t want to wash it off, especially after a BM
I’m sorry but toilet paper doesn’t cost that much. Being a germophobe I don’t think I could use it.
EEWWWIIIIIIEEEEE! I guess some people are waaaaay more frugal than I!
I will have to agree that I to will stick to my Charmin!!
We have downsized our living space, invested in a water filter and bottles, collected reusable bags and containers, switched to cfl and LED bulbs, stocked up on cloth napkins and dish towels, begin shopping for many things at thrift stores, and reduced our thermostat to save according to the seasons. But I’m with you—I think I’ll keep my Charmin, too!
ICKY!!!! I would never use reusable TP.. That is gross…
aaaaaaaaaaa…Speachless
Personally, I would have selected a darker fabric. That s**t stains! (har harr…)
disturbing!
I’m okay with it for babies but as an adult…I’d rather cough up the money for some toilet paper. Hopefully these people just use those cloths for wiping #1. Imagine all of the laundry they must have to do. A little counterproductive if they’re trying to save the planet.
wow that is just nasty!!!
That is just gross! I’ll also stick to the Charmin!
Did any of you catch the episode of “Extreme Cheapskates” where the lady did this at her house. The episode showed one of the kids folding the “toilet paper laundry” and they held up a washcloth which had brown “stains”. Yuck!
My son always tells me I’m cheap because I coupon but after watching that episode, he thanked me for buying toilet paper and told me not to get any ideas (he’s only 6!). LOL!
I’ve seen this “family cloth” and “mama cloth” and even reusable tampons…. I’m frugal, I was raised in a large family and taught not to be wasteful. But this is where I draw the line. I did use cloth diapers and washable nursing pads, so its not so much the “yuck” factor that gets me. I just think that some “expenses” are simply worth the convenience.
That is totally disgusting. I could never do it. I’m all for saving money but that is just too yucky for me. On a different note, it’s not really that much different than using cloth diapers on a baby. Too each their own.
Could you imagine going to someones house and they have this in the bathroom!! I agree with the magority!! No thank you!!!
OK I to have stockpiled all I need but reusable toilet paper goes to far. That is not frugal that is cheap. I have heard people using MAMA Clothes and Family Clothes and Would not or Could not get into it. I would use 1 ply before usable.
Same concept as cloth diapering a baby… If its good enough for your child then it should be good enough for you. However I will continue to stick to the Huggies for my babies and the Quilted Northern for myself.
I am actually planning on using it for myself. I have issues with being allergic to paper products, even sensitive tp causes contact dermatitis after a while. I think it is a great idea. I will not use for #2 though.
Some of my green mama friends made reusable toilet paper like the one shown above as april fools day jokes for their husbands a few years back. Totally had them fooled (and freaked out). Needless to say they were on the floor laughing hysterically at the husbands reactions.
