The only disposable paper we have left in the home is toilet paper.

I use handkerchiefs (not as gross as you think…)

I use napkins at the table

And we have cloths for the kitchen

I also use the Diva Cup and wrote an in-depth review on it

In short: I LOVE THE CUP!!! I never have to worry about ANY kind of leak (seriously.. NO leaks, I had tons with tampons and obviously, pads).. and it’s super easy to take out and rinse

I feel so good not wasting more tampons into our landfill

You can also buy re-usable pads, but I think the Diva Cup is a lot cleaner, and less ickier than that.

I think you’ve done the best so far! You curve-breaker! Now all the other kids are going to be mad at you after class!

I’m still impressed with the stencils, but monotone just doesn’t bring out the subtle details. Obviously I got Walt Whitman off the first one, couldn’t make out the second but never would have gotten Nietzshe (there’s nothing he couldn’t teach ya ’bout the raising of the wrist…), and I had Rasputin pegged as a late 60′s John Lennon.

I got 4 & 5, are you grading on a curve?

Dang, guys, my towels are apparently harder to recognize than I thought! I blame my shoddy stencil-making skills.

For the record, from left to right:

Charles Darwin (though he totes looks like Walt Whitman!); Nietzsche; Rasputin; Ernest Hemingway; Salvadore Dali.

Man, totally makes a chick wish she could participate in No-Shave November. Or, well. I mean. I guess a girl could but. YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN.

Dear, and I kid you not, there were NO (N O) paper towels when I was growing up. They are a new invention and all families kept their old garments, tore them up and used them for dust cloths etc. It was totally normal to be dusting the living room with remnants of grandpa’s old underwear. Oh, I am NOT kidding.
Lucky for you, I am cleaning up the old house and should I come across any useable “family” dust cloths I’ll Fed Ex them to you.
Waste not: want not. Or, I could send you a couple of coupons for Bounty. Your choice!

As I appear to have a ‘Simpsons’ theme going as I comment backwards all day, my favorite quote ever is “Damn you, Walt Whitman, I. Hate. You. Walt. Freakin’. Whitman. Leaves of grass, my ass!”

I’m stumped on number two, though. Oops, TOWEL number two, not the reusable wipes in the first picture (though that is disturbing of it’s own right.) I get kind of a Lenin thing (not Lennon, he’s number 4), but Lenin didn’t have hair. I need a better angle on that one.

And that thing I said about learning something new every day (if you’re reading these in reverse chronological order as I’m posting them)? I take that back after having to Google ‘diva cup’. That goes on the list of things I could have gone my life without knowing.

Those non-disposable alternatives to tp – WTF? I couldn’t even begin to imagine myself EVER using something like that.

The green towel on the end is Salvador Dali. The one in the middle is either Jesus or Ted Kazynski, maybe Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam????

I use paper towel where it’s the best product for the job (blotting small spills, wiping spectacles lenses when you’ve just come in out of the cold, wiping out oily but otherwise clean non-stick or seasoned pans…), but I’ve never used paper hankies (I can usually blow clear through them when I have a cold).

OTOH I don’t normally buy a daily lie sheet newspaper, and that saves way more paper than not buying a roll of paper towel every month or 2 would!

When I was in the third grade I had to pick someone to do a report on. I’m a slacker now, and I was a slacker then. I waited until about 9pm the night before it was due before cracking open an encyclopedia to randomly pick the first name I saw. So, basically what I am saying is that I wasn’t even totally awesome on purpose, it was fate.

Uhh, what?

Best friends, paper towels.
