Just posted an intro on the welcome board, and thought I'd post a unique badassity tip.
My family uses flannel cloth wipes instead of TP. Just for #1s, of course! We do stock TP for #2s.
What would ever possess us to do this? We cloth diapered our kids, now 2 & 4. Cloth wipes go with cloth diapering. We also practiced "elimination communication" or infant potty training. Basically, since birth, we'd take our baby out of cloth to use the potty when we thought she might need to go. And then we'd use the cloth wipes instead of TP on our baby. And we just kept doing it after she was done with diapers. And then I found out that "family cloth" is a thing. So I joined in the cloth usage, too.
By the way, cloth wipes were always only for #1s, even when our babies were babies. When you EC, poo is exceedingly gross. You'd think as parents of 2 little ones, we would have had our fair share of dirty diapers. But no, when you EC, babies are "poo-trained" at 3 months, and dirty diapers are pretty much non-existent after that. That's well before solid food poo grossness, especially if you do delayed solids. (That's another topic, babies don't need baby food, that's a modern fallacy that breeds picky eaters.)
Anyway, hope you aren't all grossed out. Cloth is far superior, too. Doesn't leave bits, it's softer, more absorbent. All around excellent choice for your #1 wiping needs.
