While those items make a lot of sense to just about everyone, there were a few items I found on their site to be, well, interesting. I'm not sure that I would use them personally, but I thought it was worth bringing up to my readers who are dead serious about saving money and going green.
Cycle Pads - these are menstrual flow pads that you wash and re-use.
Family Wipes - it's toilet paper you wash and reuse.
I never knew people were interested in such products, and I personally don't think I would use them, but like I said, if you're interested in saving money with reusable products, check them out at Wallypop.

Thanks for sharing the information :)
Many people are having problem in saving money.
I believe this article would be very helpful for your readers!
Yeah, that is kind of strange. Second hand clothes might not be bad, but the other stuff sounds weird.
David - these are second hand items. They are new items that you wash and re-use for yourself.
However, I have known moms to buy and sell used cloth diapers at discount. I'm sure it's hygienic enough after a hot wash with a lot of bleach, but it still seems a little gross to me.
Correction - these are NOT second hand items.
I agree with there!
Save money and the Earth and be clean at the same time! Get serious and add Bathroom Bidet Sprayers to all your bathrooms. I think Dr. Oz on Oprah said it best: "if you had pee or poop on your hand, you wouldn't wipe it off with paper, would you? You'd wash it off” Available at http://www.bathroomsprayers.com with these you won't even need toilet paper any more, just a towel to dry off! Don’t worry, you can still leave some out for guests and can even make it the soft stuff without felling guilty. It's cheap and can be installed without a plumber; and runs off the same water line to your toilet. You'll probably pay for it in a few months of toilet paper savings. And after using one of these you won't know how you lasted all those years with wadded up handfuls of toilet paper. As for water use a drought is always a concern and must be dealt with prudently but please remember that in the big picture the industrial water users always far exceed the water use of household users and in the case of toilet paper manufacture it is huge. The pollution and significant power use from that manufacturing process also contributes to global warming so switching to a hand bidet sprayer and lowering your toilet paper use is very green in multiple ways.

Jeff, that's definitely interesting. I never knew they made hand-held bidet sprayers. Why wouldn't I just fill up and use a squirt bottle, though? What's the difference?
Thanks for linking to the article I wrote. While I think it is interesting...it is not for everyone and I think I would be freaked out if I went to someone's home and there was no toilet paper in the bathroom.
I guess everyone has a preference and while I use baby wipes in addition to toilet paper I do not think I could make the transition to the washable wipes only.
I might consider the pads but not the washable toilet paper.
