Review & Giveaway: Eco-Friendly & Frugal {closed}

As most of you know, we will soon have another little blessing added to our family. Soon meaning, it could happen any day now, although my "official" estimated due date isn't until February 20th.

Even though Jonathan is still in cloth diapers, since he goes on the potty fairly regularly a lot of our diapering supplies have long been put away. Now with a newborn on the way, we've been digging out baby items and evaluating our diapering supplies once again.

One thing we noticed that we are desperately lacking in is the number of reusable wipes we have. We have a small stack of baby wash cloths that we regularly use as wipes, but not nearly enough to keep up with the cleaning demands of a newborn. For this reason, we were very excited when Jaye, owner of Eco-Friendly & Frugal agreed to send us a set of her reusable Dirty Dipes Butt Wipes to review.

"Cloth wipes help reduce wipe and toilet paper waste and can be washed in your regular washing machine and reused! Using cloth wipes on your baby also means avoiding potentially harmful solutions that are used to soak regular baby wipes."

"Cloth wipes are great to use with cloth diapering, as mouth wipes for babies and kids (though preferable NOT the same ones you use to wipe their butts), and soft tissues." They also make fun and reusable kid sized cloth napkins.

Dirty Dipes Butts Wipes (isn't that fun to say?) are 8 by 8 inch squares that fold in half to fit perfectly into a baby wipes container. Jaye uses a turned and top-stitched design NOT a surged design for added strength and durability.

We chose to review this adorable set of Beautiful Trees Dirty Dipes Butt Wipes. They arrived quickly and tied with a colorful ribbon, making them perfectly ready for gift giving.

One side of the wipes is a bright and fun cotton fabric. The other side is a coordinating soft striped flannel. These wipes washed beautifully and are now even softer than when they first arrived. Emahry & Jonathan love these cloth wipes. Every time I need a wipe for Jonathan, Emahry digs through the pile to find one of these "tree wipes."

Jaye has also recently added minky backed Dirty Dipes Butt Wipes to her shop. I can't even begin to imagine how soft these wipes are!

Each set of Dirty Dipes Butts Wipes consists of 5 quality made reusable wipes. All of Eco-Friendly & Frugal's cloth wipes are reasonably priced at $6.50 for flannel sets and $12.00 for minky sets.

Eco-Friendly & Frugal also carries nursing covers, unPaper towels, and tote bags.
