A growing number of people are ditching toilet paper in favor of a reusable ‘family wipe’
Imagine: no more empty rolls at the wrong time, no more recurring expenses, and above all, a reduced ecological footprint. Does this sound too good to be true? Yet, a growing number of people are making the radical choice to ditch toilet paper in favor of the family cloth, a reusable alternative that is as intriguing as it is divisive.

Why are some people saying goodbye to toilet paper?
- Millions of trees are cut down each year to produce rolls that are used in seconds.
- 168 liters of water are needed to make a single roll.
- High energy consumption and the use of chemicals to bleach it.
Faced with this, the use of washable fabrics is part of a zero waste approach: less waste, less pollution… and savings to boot!

But then, how does it work in practice?
