Tear-Away Tissues

Cleaning Up is a Little Easier Thanks to the MYdrap Cotton Napkins

— July 30, 2011 — Eco
Designed by Future Perfect, the MYdrap cotton napkin is the ultimate solution to the hygiene and cleanliness problems of young adults. As a teen, it wasn't out of the question to dry my hands with my toilet paper or, worse yet, my T-shirt. The transition toward adulthood is made easier, however, courtesy of the perforation technology of these napkins.

In this case, cloth or silk towels are probably overkill. The MYdrap cotton napkins, on the other hand, provide the perfect middle ground. Made from 100 percent cotton, these napkins come packaged by the dozen in rolls. The idea simple: Use the cotton napkin as a place mat, eat your food and finally clean yourself with the soft, pillowy sheet. Instead of throwing the remains in the garbage, which is the case with paper towels, you can recycle the eco-friendly MYdrap napkins.

As this product is priced at $40, it's probably best suited for families with understandably messy kids. Struggling college students may have to stick to T-shirts for now.

1. Eco-friendly Alternatives - The MYdrap cotton napkins show a consumer trend towards reusable, eco-friendly alternatives to disposable paper products.

3. Cost-effective Solutions - The MYdrap cotton napkins offer a cost-effective solution for families with messy kids who want an alternative to using disposable paper products.
Industry Implications
1. Household Goods - The MYdrap cotton napkins offer an innovative solution for companies in the household goods industry to meet the demand for eco-friendly and cost-effective products.
2. Hospitality - The MYdrap cotton napkins could disrupt the hospitality industry by providing a convenient and hygienic alternative to disposable paper napkins and towels.
3. Manufacturing - The production and distribution of eco-friendly products, like the MYdrap cotton napkins, presents an opportunity for companies in the manufacturing industry to meet the growing demand for sustainable solutions.
