It’s like cloth diapers. But in strips. For adults.

If the buzz about reusable toilet paper, also known as “family cloth,” hasn’t splattered (sorry) across your Facebook feed, it’s just what it sounds like: Clothes used in lieu of TP on the loo, then kept in a hamper or bag after use.

Then they get laundered and reused again, an eco- and cost-friendly alternative to the disposable standard. And while the practice has gained attention on blogs for years — it’s a whole cottage industry on Etsy — it may not be a sanitary option for buffing your bum, or even the most earth friendly.
