I woke up a little while ago and I am still in bed reading stuff online. So I came across a blog about green living and I read for the first time about mama cloth and family cloth. Have you ever heard about mama cloth and family cloth? I looked it up. Hmmmmmm..........I do things like recycle, I try to remember to always bring my own shopping bag when I go to the grocery store. It's fun, usually the cashier says, "Thanks for bringing your own bag." And I think (not sure) that you save a whopping five cents since you wont get charged for plastic bags! I am frugal! And green! Kind of. 🙂
What else do I do, lets see...........I recently got that stainless steel mug for my latte's.
So no more wasting paper cups. Well, I am not going to claim here that I will never again get a latte in a paper cup but I have reduced my consumption of the paper cups. And I try to eco drive. But back to the mama and family cloth. I don't think I am ready for that, don't know if I ever will be but anything is possible! I do think it is cool that some people do it. I mean, really......GOOD for them!
Mama cloth is a menstrual pad made of some kind of absorbing cloth that you stick in your panties when you are on your period and then you wash it. Family cloth is cloth toilet paper. I guess it feels "wonderful and pampering" when you wipe your butt with it. This is what I read. And then you put it in a hamper and when that is full or you run out of your family cloth you throw it in the washer. I am fully aware of that regular white toilet paper is a waste and probably full of bleach too. Maybe I should go to Jo-Ann Fabric today and buy some sort of cloth.........with Hello Kitty on it and cut out my own mama cloths and family cloth wipes? Or on the other hand, I think I am going to grab my stainless steel mug and get my latte and a scone. I am starving.
Here is an example of what family cloth can look like, maybe you will get inspired by it?!
