The youngest of my three kids (that’s them, on the right) is almost 4.  Thankfully, she’s been potty trained for a while now.  Last night, though, my wife said to me, “I spent a lot of time on Abe’s Market and have a new favorite product – the Bottoms Up Reusable Baby Wipes Kit.  Absolutely brilliant.  Better for babies, better for the environment, and cheaper than regular wipes.  Since we have no more kids in diapers, I’ll have to buy some for a friend with a baby.”

Her comment struck me for a two reasons.  First, it’s true – the Bottoms Up Wipes are a really cool product.  Second, this product is one of many that counters the belief that great natural products must cost more than their traditional (i.e. non natural) counterparts.  In her product description, Lesley writes that “Even if you were to use just one pack of disposable baby wipes per week at $4.49 per pack, you would spend over $450 within the first two years! The Bottoms Up Baby All-In-One Kit costs $59.95, that’s a savings of almost $400!”  So, it’s not only NOT more expensive than disposable wipes – it’s significantly cheaper!  While some products in the natural/green world may stir some debate, this product is a no-brainer.  (Hhhhmmm, should we have another kid so we can use the Bottoms Up Wipes?)
