Flushable moist wipes

I give flushable moist wipes 5 stars.

I never used flushable moist wipes until I married my husband. When he started asking me to get those at the store, I thought it was kind of strange and was a bit bummed to add the extra dollars to my shopping list. But now I'm hooked.

He uses a celebrity endorsement of Will Smith to defend his use of flushable moist wipes: "Will Smith was seen on a talk show, (I think on Oprah) at some point, and the subject came up that he uses wipes instead of toilet paper when he goes to the bathroom. He gave an analogy saying that if you had poop on your arm, what would you want to use to clean it off, a piece of toilet paper, or a wet wipe??"

I bought Cottonelle or Charmin or something for awhile until I realized I could save like 75 cents a pack by buying Target brand (usually found in the "Incontinence aids" aisle by the Depends) or Walmart's Brand: Equate. We've been just as happy with those brands. And we buy the refill packs, not a new box every time. They are $1.27.

If you're avoiding extra purchases, you may want to pretend you didn't read this e-mail, but if you think it would be cool to feel extra clean after you go #2, flushable moist wipes are for you!

I love them too. I also love the feminine wet wipes. I am really hooked the Target brand of things. For cost and for the fact that they are the same thing.

I second the five star rating.

Useful info. I'll have to look into shopping at Target more often for the non grocery items. You all seem to like it so much. Thanks for the review, Linz.
