New invention please!!

I really need someone to invent something for me. Would someone kindly invent disposable clothes? I mean, someone came up with disposable diapers...thank you very much Mr. Man whoever you are! Can't we apply the same principle to clothes? It wouldn't be as difficult as disposable diapers cause you don't have the need for absorbency. Well, maybe in the pits area.


I am so tired of laundry. I do like a trillion loads (and yes, it is a trillion cause I've counted as I've done them) and then 2 days later (and yes, it is 2 days later) there's another trillion loads waiting to be done. I'm staring at the stinkin' stuff right now. Ew. Don't want to. Wish the kids were old enough to. At least I've got them folding and putting away the clean clothes. That's a huge help. And no, the clothes are not folded perfect but I really don't care if I go around wrinkled. The fact that I can find A) clothes that fit B) clothes that are clean and C) clothes that match is HUGE in my book!!


Maybe I should just have the kids run around naked and only get dressed when we go somewhere. Hmmm. That's a thought I'll have to give serious consideration to. Although then there'd be all these naked butts on my couch. Ew. Gross.


So, I'm back to asking someone to invent disposable clothes. Seriously. Please.

I AGREE! Right now my living room looks like someone threw up clothes all over the place... we're in the midst of the kids trying on clothes from last fall/winter to see what fits and doesn't fit and trying to figure out what we need this year so that we don't spend a fortune on new clothes and shoes... and it takes about 20 boxes just to store their old-grown-out-of-clothes to hand down to the next kid.(And I only have two kids under the age of 5!)

So, ALL that to say... I AGREE!!! Maybe we should start a trend where we go around wearing those disposable paper gowns like you wear at the doctor's office. :)

Count me in.

We just hit our first bout of fall weather and I'm way behind on laundry (always am) and now I've got to pull out the boxes of winter clothes. My house will be covered from top to bottom in clothes for a week (or more) while I sort through them all.

Well, I better go throw another load in. I've got to get all the summer clothes clean so we can start packing them away for next year.

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

You are probably too young to remember this, but back in the early 70's someone did manufacture disposable clothes. Unfortunately, they cost about the same as reusable ones, so no one bought them.

Think about the environmental consequences of disposable clothes, though! If you do a trillion loads of laundry every two days, how many trips to the store would that require to keep your family outfitted? And then there is the disposal problem. You wouldn't be spending time laundering, but you'd have tons of garbage!

And really, what about durability? Would you really want to have your pants rip out every time you sat down?

No, I think you'd be better off just hiring someone to come in and do your laundry. Ever thought about installing a second set of machines? :-)
