My sisters use them and love them. I haven't had a period in two years (pregnant or nursing) so haven't gotten one yet but plan on doing so when I am getting close to weaning time with baby #2.<br />To be earth friendly I have reusable shopping bags, do cloth wipes with a homemade solution, make my own laundry detergent, garden, use a wetbag, use tupperware daily, have a compost heap and use dying racks for many of my clothes (especially diapers).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13208410436638380582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073655496261535591.post-13835349537077808892011-04-21T09:41:22.154-04:002011-04-21T09:41:22.154-04:00You totally should try mama cloth, I started last ...You totally should try mama cloth, I started last month...Love it! If you want a economical way to start, check out bunnyfeet boutique on FB, she usually has Monday Madness, and often has sets that work out to $3 each and that includes the shipping! They are cotton velour usually...sooooo soft! Love mine!

At first I as skeptical, as I can be pretty lazy, but the feel alone made using them worth the time. And really, they don't take much time. I throw them into a bucket and let them soak overnight and then wash with my towels. Super easy and better for me and the environment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073655496261535591.post-31577253107790478402011-04-18T18:36:09.608-04:002011-04-18T18:36:09.608-04:00I made some cloth wipes from nappy flannelette and...I made some cloth wipes from nappy flannelette and for a while, used disposable wipes to clean off the majority of the poo and then the cloth wipe to get rid of the wee or last bit of chemical laden dispoable wipes.<br /><br />DS is not in cloth at the moment (my homemade efforts just don't contain his efforts anymore!) so my cloth wipes were covered in some pretty fabric and are now in the kitchen for hand wipes for the table during dinner, cleaning the floor, etc then get thrown in the washing machine.<br /><br />If you're handy with knitting needles or a crochet hook try knitting some dishcloths for washing dishes. Acrylic yarn (the cheap stuff) is great for scrubbing (even baked on and left to go hard pasta bake, lasagne, etc) and cotton yarn is brilliant for wiping benches and cleaning the 'cleaner stuff' like glasses, cutlery and crockery. They're quick and easy to finish too!<br /><br />I also made some reusable produce bags from muslin. Found someone who made them from old net curtains, which would work better because they are see through then (the muslin wasn't see through so each bag had to be opened to show what was inside)Future Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08640602843737077322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073655496261535591.post-51681645403123554962011-04-18T08:30:33.853-04:002011-04-18T08:30:33.853-04:00In addition to the reusable grocery bags, I love m...In addition to the reusable grocery bags, I love my reusable produce bags. I know you don't actually need produce bags at all, but I hate my produce rolling around everywhere. I got my reusable bags from Crate and Barrel I think, but you can get them lots of places!slang76https://www.blogger.com/profile/06752519646003610410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073655496261535591.post-92284371204078992011-04-18T06:33:44.226-04:002011-04-18T06:33:44.226-04:00I made my own unpaper (cloth) towels, mama cloth, ...I made my own unpaper (cloth) towels, mama cloth, cloth wipes, training pants for DS2. & cook/preserve as much of our food (including grinding flour) from scratch as possibleUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10054029357901149977noreply@blogger.com
