Getting over an Awkward Moment: Coming clean

June 7, 2014 By Shelley Zurek 53 Comments

Talking about Bathroom Routines…Awkward! RIGHT?

Awkward Moments

 Thanks to Cottonelle for sponsoring today’s discussion on Getting over an Awkward Moment and providing YOU with a LARGE CVS Cottonelle Coupon!

Tackling awkward topics

Since starting this blog, I have taken on some tough topics including:

  •  light bladder leakage
  •  bladder incontinence
  • Alzheimer’s
  • aging parents
  • foot problems
  • GERD
  • denture issues

Each time I have raised a topic, whether sharing a personal story or giving out tips, I have been surprised at the outpouring from my readers! They let me know that they too suffer from the issue or have a family member who does or are struggling to find answers.

Breaking the bathroom taboo

I find the most difficult topics to discuss are bathroom related ones, don’t you? Who do you bring those awkward topics up with? It’s often hard to discuss awkward subjects with your doctor, let alone friends, family, or in my case.. readers!

Yet, I have found over and over, that my readers appreciate it when someone FINALLY talks about the issues they are having in a real way. So here goes readers, we are going to talk bathroom routines and clean bums. EEEK! Let’s go!

Getting fresh with a One-Two punch

Basically my whole life, I have been using a single method for my bathroom routine…toilet paper. I always felt like it was sufficient, not perfect, but sufficient. So when Cottonelle asked me to try Cottonelle® Flushable Cleansing Cloths and Clean Care toilet paper together, I wasn’t too sure that wasn’t a TAD excessive.  

Face it, I harbored my own unspoken stereotypes. I was terrified the Cottonelle® Flushable Cleansing Cloths would clog the toilet (they didn’t) and would leave me feeling wet (the steps are wet, then dry so that wasn’t an issue either). I had always assumed a wet + dry combination like this was for sick people. Not true, actually the freshness of using both a bum wipes coupled with toilet paper works for anyone.  

Think about your own life, how many situations would this revolutionary addition of a cleansing cloth coupled with Clean Care toilet paper improve during your bathroom routine?  Situations I can think of include everyday events to special situations like:

  • after workouts and sports
  • during your menstrual cycle
  • in the summer when you sweat more
  • after yardwork
  • when you or a family member are sick
  • just about anytime!

Try the one-two combination yourself! Exclusive HIGH DOLLAR coupon!

Let me help you in getting over an awkward moment. When you shop for your Cottonelle® Flushable Cleansing Cloths and Clean Care toilet paper, be sure to head over to CVS like I did. And, you can save $1.50 just by downloading this exclusive CVS coupon.

      Funny but I had never thought of them for anything but the bathroom but of course they could be used just like a regular wipe Pam. The CHief BLonde

      It was harder to discuss then I had anticipated but once I got going I found I had a distinct opinion and it got easier as I went along.

    We use Cottonelle in our house, too. My boys can’t seem to get the concept of wiping completely, so we LOVE the flushable wipes…..or I should say that I do 😉

    What a touchy subject like you say. I will admit to once in awhile using the kids wipes and throwing them wrapped up in the trash. Having a wet wipe made for adults that won’t clog the pipes is awesome. It will take some convincing of my husband that they won’t clog the pipes but he would appreciate them once in awhile as well.

    We keep these wipes in the guest bathroom, too. I hate being at someone else’s house and needing something a little…extra…to take care of things, but not having it. I notice that the wipes get used, too! Thanks for the great coupon.
