But I like your approach. Just start with pee only, not number two. That is do-able! Why didn't I think of it!? Going to get my wipes out right now. :) I have been putting this move off for so long!

I actually started doing this for myself only basically out of need (only for #1, haha). We do have toilet paper;however some weeks I only have $20-$30 for groceries and I'm sorry but my family needs food more than literally throwing it down the toilet. I'm the biggest "user" of toilet paper, so I'm the only one who does it, but I may start with my 3 year old daughter too. I also converted to baby wash clothes for my baby wipes, I figured I'm doing cloth diapers any way, what's the difference!! I'm glad I'm not the only one out there doing this, I was embarrassed about it and actually I didn't even tell my husband. I do make my own cloth pads too and even made some for a friend of mine who is struggling badly financially. Even if we do make more money, I'd rather throw it in the bank then in the trash or toilet! I’m so glad I found this.

Are you using these cloths or toilet paper? And if you're using the cloths, do you just throw them in with the number 1 ones? What about for number two? Are you using these cloths or toilet paper?

I cut out squares and serge them on the machine. quick and easy. don't have a serger? just zig zag on a regular machine then clip slose to the stitching without clipping the stitches. This should cure the raveling issue. I have found that my husbands old white t-shirts work wonderful for this.
