To say I was a little buried under the Boxes and Pre-orders is an understatement but I got through it! Now that we have such a great range in stock (hopefully for a few months at least!) I want to spend some more time giving you all a behind the scenes look at Cushie Tushies and how we roll :)
I have been pondering just what to chat to you all about and I really can't think of anything better than what you all ask me via email throughout the working week. A subject that has come up in the last few days is Cloth Wipes.
4 years ago now when I first put my thinking cap on about what kind of Cloth Nappies I would use for my Cheeky monkey (that was only a Jelly bean in the womb at that stage) I never once had a consideration for Cloth Wipes. I didn't even know a cloth wipe existed! I mean we all know that there are the Terry cotton squares that our Mums either shudder or admire when they see them again for the first time in 27years that usually then follows a "back in my day" line about how they made the best Spew rags, burp cloths, car cleaners etc etc. But a piece of cloth that you could actually use on a dirty Bum was something very new to me.
I think I first heard mention of people using Cloth Wipes on a nappy Forum somewhere. The general discussion was that any old piece of face washer or old flannel sheet cut into squares would do the job. The fabric shopaholic in me had different ideas though. I found some of the most amazing Cotton velour (a lush shiny soft version of the cotton used in terry squares) which worked a treat on the initial wipe of a bum. On the back I put some flannel just in case the velour didn't get all that I needed it to in the first wipe. I will never forget the first time I used a Cloth wipe on a seriously disgusting newborn bum. I was amazed at just how well they wiped clean in just one swoop. I honestly can't put into words just how amazing a Cloth wipe is compared to a disposable ones and if you have been using disposable wipes for a while you will really find Cloth a big treat. If I could only pick one accessory for a Modern Cloth Nappy user it would be Cloth Wipes. And the Money saving factor is a great bonus too!
I quickly made sure that some Wipes were at the ready for Daddy when the next pooey change came about to give it the inexperienced test! He too passed the Wipe with flying colours. From there the Cushie Tushie Cloth Wipe was born.
It has grown in both size and material quality since that time with the new Cushie Tushies gorgeous orange short pile Minky on one side with lush soft Bamboo Terry on the reverse. The addition of Minky gives it the super soft appeal with the Bamboo adding the anti-bacterial factor. Team these with our Anti-bacterial foaming Wipes Wash and you have yourself one amazing pooey bum fighting machine. The foaming wipes wash is a huge hit in this house with my 18month old loving the Bubbles directly on his Bum followed by the gorgeous wipe of the Minky. What more could you ask for really.
