How well did you treat your bum today? When SITSGirls sent out the initial announcement about the Cottonelle Care Routine's Let's Talk About Bums campaign, I was thoroughly amused by the subject matter. I mean, how often do we get approached by total strangers who want to know the details of our bum cleaning routine? Right away, I imagined a fine, well dressed gentleman, mike in hand, cameras in tow, walking up to a lady at Grand Central Station, NY saying: "Ma'm, Let's talk about your bum. Do you Cottonelle?" I laughed so hard and so did my twins when I told them. I grew up with bidets and figured this campaign could be fun, so, I signed on pronto.

Who would have thought that writing a dedicated post on the subject of bums could induce so much humor? Sure, we all have bums; we all have bodily functions, and yet, we often avoid having discussions on the subject. Why? For starters, without a touch of humor, it can be an awkward conversation to have... and there's never a "right time." Most of us blush when someone broaches the subject because we like to keep our bathroom habits private. However, even though talking about our bum action/routine might be embarrassing, avoiding the topic won't make it go away. Bummer, right? Avoidance means we might miss out on learning a better way to get clean. That’s why Cottonelle Care Routine partnered with the witty, chatty, and funny Cherry Healey to nudge people to chat about the way they wipe. Have you seen the ads or watched the video? How well does this compare to your bum care routine?
“From the stage I've seen people of all ages absolutely roaring at really good toilet humor.” Adrian Edmondson
Still with me? Have any good toilet jokes? We all use toilets and love the jokes that come with them. We also love great looking toilet accessories. Another thing I loved about the Cottonelle package I received is the elegant, compact, and discreet design of the Cottonelle Flushable Cleansing Cloths dispenser. It is now available in a sleek, newly designed, upright beige dispenser that makes it easier for everyone in my household to enjoy the clean and fresh feeling of the Cottonelle Care Routine. The dispenser is refillable so all you need to do is to replenish your empty dispenser with refill packs. The discreet design blends in beautifully in my bathroom and the size makes it both portable and easy to display. The wipes have a delicate, clean smell that won't overwhelm your bathroom and they are septic and sewer safe. I invite you to try the Cottonelle Care Routine for yourself. Cottonelle Toilet Paper and Cottonelle Flushable Cleansing Cloths are designed to work together for a clean we can feel. Join the conversation by visiting the Cottonelle Facebook page and let’s talk about your bum.

How did you feel after using the Cottonelle care routine?
When I received my lovely care package, I opened the box to find a pack of four toilet paper rolls and a flushable cleansing cloth dispenser. it was time to make nice and be kind to my behind. Earlier, I shared above that I've used bidets as part of my cleansing routine, so the idea of wipes made perfect sense.
I loved the texture of the toilet paper and wipes, soft yet firm, and the wipes weren't soggy but moist enough to give a thorough clean. While it might feel weird at first to incorporate cleansing cloths into our bathroom routine, ultimately, the combo leaves us with a clean and fresh feeling that's truly impressive; I was ready for
anything. Using the wipes in conjunction with the toilet paper felt terrific and doubly clean. You've got to experience it to believe it... the Cottonelle care routine works. I love it and I bet your tushy will love it too. More below!

Welcome back to the blog hop :)
ReplyDeleteIt's toilet paper and water and soup for me. The latter pair is a must. My sister-in-law once bought several wipes with soap suds and gave me a pack. I liked using that too.
Thank you Farida for your feedback! It was a fun exercise and informative too. I know it can be an awkward topic for some but the subject matter is important to all of us and we can respond without divulging too much. Thanks again! I don't know where our fellow members are... :-)
ReplyDeleteEliz
Just heard of the product now. Since it's Kleenex, I bet its really soft! Haha :)
ReplyDeleteI think back here in the Philippines, soap and water is most important, then toilet paper last. Haha! I don;t think I can just live with toilet paper alone. Thanks for sharing such detailed review, Eliz!
ReplyDeleteI'm currently using the Cottonelle product right now. The tissue is very soft and the wipes smells so good. I just simply love it:)
ReplyDeletemy toilet routine is actually the same with ms. farida. that's toilet paper, water & soap (the latter pair is a must, too for me!). :-)
ReplyDeleteToilet paper, water and soap also... :)
ReplyDeleteantibacterial soap, a lot of clean water, alcohol and soft durable tissue works for me. I have not seen this brand on supermarket yet. Is this practically affordable?
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried this product yet. I think it's not available here. I think I'm going to love Cottonelle. I also like that it comes with a dispenser.
ReplyDeleteToilet paper, water and soap for us. I am not contented with toilet paper alone :) But I see to it we never run out of toilet paper.
ReplyDeletei guess most of us here prefer the toilet paper, water & soap ritual. if i'm not in the house, bidets and wipes are very essential. but this is a great review. maybe they'll actually think of exporting to other countries too?
ReplyDeleteI would much prefer flushable cleansing wipes too, hehe.
ReplyDeletethis is my first time to hear about the product.. looks like a good quality product..
ReplyDeleteFor me, it's mostly soap and water. I'm not a tissue-person; I'm more of a wet wipes person! :D
ReplyDeleteI've been a Kleenex user ever since! :) For me, it's water, soap, and kleenex.
ReplyDeleteLike Marielle Faye Garcia, water and soap is important here in the Philippines. Hmm maybe the rich also have the tissues and bidets. But commoners like, water and soap is a must. I also used the left hand in doing the washing :-p
ReplyDeleteToilet paper, then water and soap lol I am super OC-OC (O.C.). Anyway I saw this cottonelle opp over at SITS
ReplyDeleteI guess in our country, it's always been soap and water in most homes, like what Marielle said...and then there are some, like Farida who use toilet paper as well. The wipes are when you're not at home to do the deed lol! Even with wet wipes, it just doesn't feel clean enough without the traditional soap and water.
ReplyDeletei am so into tissues! i think it's so soft and thick. compare to the other tissues.. hehehe thanks for sharing
ReplyDeletethe dispenser is cute.
ReplyDeleteI have heard about this brand but it is quite costly. IT is soap and water for me too if at home.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a promising brand. In your country I bet this is the best one. Back home in the Philippines, we have Joy as the best tissue brand.
ReplyDeletewe don't have cottonelle in cebu yet. as for my toilet habits, i wash when i'm home, otherwise, toilet paper and wet wipes for me.
ReplyDeleteI agree with most of the ladies here, soap and water is a must if you really want to feel clean. But a good quality tissue is also nice to be used on the last part...I mean to dry up. (lol)
ReplyDeleteI like the dispenser.
ReplyDeleteLoved the dispenser.. cute
ReplyDeletelove the dispenser..cute
ReplyDeletei forgot to mention, i love using 3-ply toilet paper. :)
ReplyDeletei forgot to mention i love using 3-ply toilet paper :)
ReplyDeleteI have not seen this one in the market yet.. They look so soft. :)
ReplyDeleteI got more of Cottonelle tissue paper yesterday at the grocery store..Super love this product:)
ReplyDeleteDo you think this one will be available here? It would be good to try this out as well. :)
ReplyDeleteJust got to watch the video now. I wonder how it works. Why is it a bomb!?
ReplyDeleteI like the dispenser.. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm checking the SITS girls website now. I hope there are campaigns international bloggers can participate in! :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat review! I hope I can find this brand in the supermarket.
ReplyDeleteIs this in the Philippines? Definitely, this is not in Zamboanga! Or if it is, the stores are closed because of the Zamboanga Crisis anyway.
ReplyDeleteI just simply love this product..:)
ReplyDeleteWe do not have a bidet but I recently stayed in a hotel with one and it makes sense. That flushable cottonelle wipes would be a nice partner for a bidet.
ReplyDeleteI went to supermarket and tried to fine some cottonelle..looks like the brand is not yet available here. We'll try soon as I get my hands on one :)
ReplyDeleteNice post with a humor and practicality. :-)
ReplyDeletebtw, i prefer using 3-ply vs. 2-ply tp. :)
ReplyDeleteno update? looks like you're busy with your offline thing..
ReplyDeleteno update? looks like you are busy with your offline thing..
ReplyDeleteI hope we will also have cottonelle here in the philippines
ReplyDeleteit will always be soap tissue paper and alcohol at home and when I am out, wet tissue, dry tissue, soap and alcogel. I wish to find this product here.
