More ladies need to know about this formula. One cup of sodium alginate is about $12-16 and you only need 1 tsp combined with one cup of water to make one cup. I found another lubricate from London which has wonderful ingredients but as Hulda has taught us, everything is processed with solvents. Plus this was $40 for 4 ozs!! And it has citric acid as a preservative. Most citric acid is made from a mold and we do not need this is our vaginas or our bodies, especially if we have any yeast problems (and who does not?) I make 2 cups of this, put on the frig door in a Nalgene pump dispenser, and then on the nights I expect to be romantic, I pump the needed amount in a Dixie cup and sit on my nightstand so will be at room temp when needed that night. I might even do some extra for the morning if things look promising. It is so cheap! The cold temp of the product for those impromptu couplings is worrying but was thinking could buy a baby bottle warmer and warm in glass bottle. Will let you know. Thank you, Modern Wife!

I just spray a little pure water and then dab a little dry baking soda on. Others make a paste. The whole family uses it. Never lets us down!! Thanks for your website. Glad I found it.

After putting honey in my tea throughout my pregnancy, <a href="http://www.modernwife.com/home-birth/" rel="nofollow">my baby came out as healthy as can be</a>. The issue with honey has to do with digestion. Babies up to 2 years old are not recommended to eat honey because their digestive systems have not developed the acidity to handle it. Pregnant women have developed digestive tracts that can handle the digestion of honey.

Pregnant women CAN NOT have honey. I was taking it for acid reflux and my doctor told me that is a big pregnancy DONT. extremely bad for baby.

Their packaging states "not bleached with chlorine" but does not state it was dyed brown. Very misleading. Thank you for the link, Lana.

All of them are made with approximately the same stuff (mostly wood pulp). 7th Generation dyes their diapers brown in a shameful attempt at "green washing" their product line. They are no different than all of the other commercial product lines out there. http://www.seventhgeneration.com/baby-diapers-and-wipes All of the major diaper brands are chlorine free.

I just hosed the things down and washed them in the machine with a pint of 35% hydrogen peroxide and some baking soda (the latter supposedly helps with softness) and set the whole thing on the 90C (190F) setting, and the diapers came out perfectly clean.

I just noticed the main active ingredient in our diaper rash product was zinc oxide, and fortunately have a bag of the stuff lying around (it is added to certain paints to make them whiter as well), so I've mixed it with coconut oil to see how it will work.
