Comments on: Still Another Piece of Evidence That The Green Movement Is Not Only Pretentious, Annoying, Sick and Macabre, But Also Just An Excuse To Be Cheap And Gross

It goes without saying that I use cloth diapers, right? Because I am a dirty hippie (but not that dirty, I guess, or I’d find these more appealing). No, really, it’s because I’m a cheap treehugger. And they aren’t gross, actually, mostly because my washer has a “sanitize” setting that blasts the hell out of those suckers. At least I find it less gross than wrapping my kid’s poop in plastic and leaving it for her to find 50 years later in a landfill. And, so, logically, these shouldn’t bother me.

BUT THEY DO. Perhaps because toilet paper disintegrates in, what, five seconds? Not seeing the point, earth movement. Not seeing the point.

Rationally, I want to argue that hey, there’s people out there who use cloth diapers which means they trust the washing machine enough to remove The Stuff their babies pump out.

But then I go waitaminute, that’s because these babies can’t even hold their heads upright to issue a rousing complaint (and when they do, they realize they are stuck at that preverbal stage, curses!).

The least this outfit can do is make these things color-coded so people can at least stick to their own (OK, and maybe some standard prints, how about numbers, for the colorblind). Because from one week to the next, I’m not gonna remember if my butt is coded for floppy balloon bunny vs. beach motif.

p.s.
my other thought was that these may be a handy stocking stuffer for menstrual cup users

Oh, I think it is grosser, because you are sharing them with your whole family, hence the name “family wipes.” And also, cloth diapers are gross. I mean, I know they’re supposed to be better for the environment and maybe even better for your kid I think? like better for the kid’s skin, not sure? Anyway, they’re still gross. It’s gross to have remnants of poop on cloth. Bottom line. Poop is gross. I like to get rid of it quickly, never see it again. And no matter how good your homemade laundry soap (shudder) is, you are not going to be able to get all that poop off.

Yeah. Because apparently some people actually do this. I mean, really! People, life is too short.

Oh, yeah. I’m actually with you on this one. I especially love the euphemistic name, which is somehow cheery and incestuous. I suppose, in the grand scheme of things, this is no grosser than cloth diapers. And yet…it sure feels that way, no?
