I will never forget the first time I ever watched The Little Mermaid. It was in Mrs. Depreast’s first grade class, and I instantly fell in love with movies music and characters! And it remains one of my favorite all time Disney movies! Now this Disney Classic is back!

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Cottonelle.
Bathroom habits aren’t usually a topic we discuss here at Simply Sweet Home, but Cottonelle is partnering up with journalist Cherry Healy to encourage everyone to talk about their bathroom routines and their bums, and today I’m joining the conversation. You can also join the conversation by checking out the Cottonelle Facebook page.
The Cottonelle Care Routine revolves around two products: Cottonelle FreshCare Flushable Cleansing Cloths and Cottonelle Ultra ComfortCare Tissue.
Have you ever used wipes? If you have not, then the idea of using these may seem a little odd at first, but after you get used to the idea, the use of the product becomes second nature, just like using a moist towelette to clean your hands. And come to think of it, if you use baby wipes for your baby’s bottom, why stop when they are out of diapers? We should all be able to feel fresh and clean.
The Cottonelle wipes are really great! They have a nice, clean scent. They are thick and strong but also have a soft texture, and they really leave you feeling refreshed and very clean. Cottonelle has also made recent improvements to the product packaging for their wipes. Unlike other wipes that come in a container similar to baby wipes, their new containers are more like a canister, which blends in better with the bathroom decor. And because the new product packaging allows for the wipes to pulled out of the top so that air doesn’t get to them, they won’t dry out. So that means no waste!
You will also love Cottonelle toilet paper. It has a great texture, and is strong and thick, so you don’t have to use a lot. Again, no waste!
Go to your local grocery store and other retailers to find Cottonelle flushable wipes and toilet paper, so you can get that extra clean and fresh feeling every day!
Cottonelle wants to get you talking about your bum and on a better way to clean “down there” by using the Cottonelle Clean Routine. By combining the use of Cottonelle Toilet Paper and Cottonelle Flushable Cleansing Cloths, the Cottonelle Clean Routine is a revolutionary way to keep your bum cleaner.
