wipes

WE keep them near by the toilet - I use them too. As long as it says flushable and maybe has some soothing aloe in them I'm not too fussy about the brand. I always pick up the travel ones too especially for my large travel purse or if we are going to be out for a full day somewhere.

I just found in the travel section the other day - Charmin to go....a small roll about the diameter of a quarter or half dollar. Better than keeping a few napkins on hand if you get somewhere and they're out of toilet paper. (Don't ya just hate when that happens???)

I swear by the extra long panty liners - we both use them - keeps everything fresh - washing of underwear alot easier now too.

Dear Katie,

If you have a sore behind you can use witch Hazel ointment.  I live in Australia and you can buy this from a health food store.  The brand I use is called Sunspirit.  It is really good and I can guarantee you sore behind will feel better as soon as use it and will be almost completely healed in 24 hours.  Do a goole search for it.  I'm sure you would be able to find similar all over the world.

I use the wipes like the white corncob after the toilet paper (two red corncobs).  It's an old farmer joke for those of you old enough to remember an outhouse.
