I wipe big butts and I cannot lie. You other mothers can’t deny. When your kid walks in with a poopie diaper in place and the smell it hits your face, you know its on! You can’t escape to the beauty salon. Who knew you’d dream about the toilet bowl? Those other mothers tried to warn me, but I just didn’t want to see that a butt wiping mama with two little kids is who I’d come to be. Can I go back?
Are you laughing yet? Lord I hope so, because otherwise we’ll all just sit here and cry. Before I had kids I had no idea whatsoever that I’d be wiping butts for this long. I thought, rather naively, that my responsibility would walk out the door with the last trashbag of dirty diapers.
Instead I find myself crossing over into territory that should come with a guidebook. The night my husband caught me bending over awkwardly while trying to teach our then four year old how to wipe from front to back is not one either of us will soon forget…which is probably for the best as I still have to train the second one.
With three girls in the house, we go through an absurd amount of toilet paper. Over the years I’ve become quite a connoisseur. No single ply, nothing that reminds me of sandpaper and most definitely nothing that leaves our nether regions looking like snow-covered mountains.
Back in December I was asked to write a sponsored post for another site about a new toilet paper product….Cottonelle flushable cleansing cloths. I figured they were going to be grown-up diaper wipes, but I thought, “Sure, what the hell, why not!” and I could not have been more wrong.
These things are bloody genius. They fixed every single thing I hate about diaper wipes. They don’t smell like baby powder…in fact, they don’t smell at all. They’re smaller than wipes and flushable, even when the job calls for two. The kids actually ask for them over regular toilet paper. I’ve even started using them from time to time.
Last week I saw a notice for a new Cottonelle campaign. I normally skip over paid post opportunities because talking about stuff I don’t actually like makes me feel really icky. But this was different. I seriously, honestly and truly love these things. I have a three pack in my bathroom right now, plus one in the kitchen, on in the garage and one in the park bag.
So here’s the deal. Since I opted to write this blog post, all of you get a chance to try the Cottonelle Flushable Cleansing Cloths at a discount. Cottonelle and CVS will give you a $1.50 coupon off the purchase of the cleansing cloths and some Cottonelle toilet paper. My sister is at CVS right now making her purchase – she’s getting the 42-count upright dispenser and some cleancare toilet paper (just like the photo above). She’s offered to send photos of her cleaning her ‘roids, but I did us all a favor and said no thanks.
If you need shampoo or soap or any of the other useful things CVS sells, there are loads more coupons on the page that you can pick as well….(I just tried it and there were $360 worth of coupons available.)
So click on over, get the coupon(s) and go get these cleansing cloths. You will not be sorry. Seriously.
(Cottonelle sponsored this post, but I’ve been buying their wipes for a long time so I can definitely say that all opinions are my own.)

I have used the Cottonelle wipes and I really liked them, but I stopped after hearing they were not compostable.

You deserve wipes for life for busting those rhymes!
