You might have heard a little something this week about how Greenpeace would actually prefer that you drive a Hummer rather than use soft toilet paper. From the You-Can't-Be-Serious File, we have news of a breakthrough environmentally-friendly product that will change the way Americans do business.
Er, make that, the way Americans do their business.
Warning: This is not for the squeamish.
People are making and marketing reusable toilet wipes. For grown-ups. (Drudge teased this, "Bottom reached.")
Click here for a discussion on why you should Go Reusable! (In the interest of full disclosure, I should warn you that phrase "sopping disintigration" is employed.)
And if you're thinking, "Eww! No, seriously, ewww!!" Then you should click on this link, which details "How to Use Cloth Wipes." The author wants to encourage you: "OK, this is not nearly as gross as you might be imagining." But then he or she goes on to instruct you with pointers like this one: "Shake, scrape, swish, or squirt off anything you don't want in your laundry" and mentions breezily that "our wipes have minimal staining."
Land sakes (pardon the pun).
The author admits that "there is a certain ick factor involved."
She is right ... though for more reasons than she likely suspects.
