Cottonelle Clean Care Routine

I recently was able to participate in the Cottonelle Clean Care Routine sample and share through Crowdtap. I was a little skeptical at first (baby wipes for adults!? Seems a little weird) and wasn't sure I wanted to participate but decided to give it a chance.
Cottonelle sent me an 18 pack of toilet paper (for me to sample) complete with a $1 off coupon!
They also sent out two 4 packs to share
And 3 packs of cottonelle fresh care flushable wipes
To my surprise the wipes had designed boxes and they sent 3 diff end designs to see.
I shared these mainly with family (since it can be a little awkward for some people to talk about the bathroom)
My sister has two small children who we are starting to try to potty train. These wipes help so much! When you have small children who are used to using baby wipes and not toilet paper these are great for when they need help getting a little cleaner. Before it was a struggle what to do with the used baby wipe when you were using the toilet and not a diaper but now with the flushable wipes its so easy you can just toss it right in and flush it down the toilet and not have to worry about it anymore. It's also really nice to not have to worry about little fingers getting into the trash and finding dirty wipes (the like to use the wipes to pretend to clean and don't always realize that the trash means dirty)
My nephews just starting to get into that stage saying "that's for babies" and not wanting to use something or eat something because he thinks he's too big for it. These wipes are great in those situations because they are made and advertised for adults and aren't called baby wipes so they can still use a wipe but feel a lot more grown up.
I thought using wipes was a little weird at first but I actually grew to like them. You feel so much more comfortable and know you are a lot cleaner then if you just use toilet paper. Cottonelle s commercials are right, you wouldn't wash your car without water, take a shower without water, do laundry without water, so while would you try to clean without water? A dry clean really doesn't cut it. Don't believe me? Watch the commercials http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s7vv8i1oKFo&feature=relmfu

Using the wet wipes make so much more sense and makes you feel a lot more clean and comfortable. After trying the wipes i know I will continue to use them.
There are so many other uses for the wet wipes. Some others in the sample and share had said they tried using them for sponge baths, one woman used them for her mother in the hospital who had back surgery and couldn't move to shower. The wipes don't have that weird soapy residue that baby wipes do and have a clean fresh mild scent (not a baby smell). These are great to take to the hospital if your having surgery or a something, great to take camping/hiking/canoing/boating/etc. to freshen up when your outdoors, also great if you don't have access to a real restroom when your out camping and have to go in the woods! They're safe to flush so you know they are easily biodegradable. Keep in the car to clean up messes, sticky hands, etc. Freshin up after working out, or a run. I participate in 5ks like the color run where you get really messy so these would be great to help clean up a little before heading home or if I would accidentally get color or mud in my car.

Another thing I was really impressed with was the toilet paper I have the cottonelle paper pictured oon the right and my old stuff (I believe it was angel soft) on the left. What a difference! I can't imagine ever going back to my old brand
