Are you cloth wiping yet?
Published on 2012-08-27 12:28:54
When you use cloth diapers you just throw them in the diaper pail or wet bag right? The same goes for cloth wipes. Just wipe and toss with the diaper. It is as easy as that. In fact, what is more difficult is using disposable wipes because you have to have a separate bag set up to throw those wipes away. I would know because my husband still uses disposable wipes (but he used cloth diapers so I can’t complain). Continue reading
