Sweet Bobbins Review & Giveaway*CLOSED

Back in February I found an article on
Family Cloth that I shared with you readers.
(HERE)
It raised the question, 'How green are you willing to go?'
and I have pondered on that thought for the past few months.
Really.. How green am I willing to go??

I have to admit the thought of not using toilet paper
took a bit of an adjustment.
The initial ick factor was the biggest hurdle
but then it dawned on me:
'I use cloth wipes on my girls,
what is the big deal?'

My hubby was much more open to the
idea than I was. He had made
comments in the past about using our
diaper sprayer as a bidet..
which is actually a great idea.
 So when I told him I wanted to switch
over to family cloth, for real, he was very supportive.

I know a lot of families make their own family cloth
out of old receiving blankets, t-shirts, or rags;
or you can purchase them from a shop like Sweet Bobbins.

Sweet Bobbins is family owned and operated by two
WAHM cousins, Angela and Rene,
that live on opposite sides of the country
but run the company as one!
How impressive is that!?

Sweet Bobbins' Etsy shop is full of wonderful
handmade cloth wipes, pail liners, bibs and you guessed it...
family cloth! (Plus much more)

When I contacted Sweet Bobbins with the idea
of doing a family cloth review, Angela was immediately on board!
She generously sent me a set of family
cloth and a small hanging wetbag.

The Sweet Bobbins wet bag is the perfect size
for family cloth, mama cloth, wet wipes
while traveling, or could even hold 1-2 dirty diapers.
(measuring 8"x10")

It features a handle that snaps and easily
attaches to wherever you need it to!
The inner PUL is very thick and durable and keeps
moisture and odor in, where they belong.
The zipper is easy to open and close,
not to big but not too small.

Sweet Bobbins wipes/family cloth are the cream of the crop.

A set of 25, gender neutral, 6x8" wipes.

I chose to get a mix of double layer flannel 

and OBV (Organic Bamboo Velour);

(Angela said that some prefer flannel 

for #1 and OBV for #2.)

The size is perfect, fits in the palm of your hand!

They are very thick but not as thick as a wash cloth.

Both fabrics are soft but the OBV is buttery soft, 

although Angela said some prefer OBV over flannel-

I seem to prefer the flannel.

Transitioning over to family cloth has been easier
than I could have ever imagined.
We have two bathrooms that get used equally,
so in the master bath I hang the wet bag from the
tiolet paper holder and stack a few wipes on top
and put the rest on the back of the toilet in an old
wipes container. In our hallway bath or 'guest' bath
I use the diaper pail for family cloth used in there
and come diaper washing day.. they all get washed together.
I treat the family cloth just as I do the cloth wipes we use
for diaper changes.. If there is a huge mess on them I spray
with the diaper sprayer but mostly they get
used and then tossed in with the others! Just that easy!

I wish I would have made the switch a long time ago
but really, just like I was clueless about cloth diapering,
I was also naive and unaware about family cloth.
If you have a television, you have more than
likely seen the toilet paper commercial with
the bears for Charmin. Even they know that
when using toilet paper, there are often 'pieces left behind'.

How nasty is that? Pieces of dirty, used, paper left behind-
that sure does gross me out.
But with family cloth, I have never felt cleaner!
No more flakes of TP left behind and I don't know
about you but when I want to freshen up.. a wash cloth is
what I reach for, not a piece of TP.
Why not freshen up every time??

We still have TP in the house for guest or for back-up
but we prefer Sweet Bobbins family cloth!
Still curious to try it out at your house?
