# Tear-Away Tissues Cleaning Up is a Little Easier Thanks to the MYdrap Cotton Napkins By Omar Yusuf | Published 2011-07-30 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mydrap-cotton-napkins References: [incrediblethings](http://www.incrediblethings.com/home/upgrade-from-paper-towels-to-tear-away-cloth-napkins/) & [thefutureperfect](http://www.thefutureperfect.com/detail.php?id=721) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plush-ritual) are probably overkill. The MYdrap cotton napkins, on the other hand, provide the perfect middle ground. Made from [100 percent cotton](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cotton-incorporated), 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/betterway-bamboo), 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 7% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Eco-friendly Alternatives:** The MYdrap cotton napkins show a consumer trend towards reusable, eco-friendly alternatives to disposable paper products. - **Convenience and Hygiene:** The perforation technology used in the MYdrap cotton napkins highlights the trend of consumers wanting convenient and hygienic solutions in everyday products. - **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. ### Where This Applies - **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. - **Hospitality:** The MYdrap cotton napkins could disrupt the hospitality industry by providing a convenient and hygienic alternative to disposable paper napkins and towels. - **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. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Reusable Paper Towel Sheets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/papaya-reusables.md) - [Absorbent Reusable Paper Towels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reusable-paper-towel.md) - [Eco-Friendly Hygiene Wipes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freshist-debuts1.md) - [Long-Lasting Reusable Cloths](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swish-cloths.md) - [Conversation Starting Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dinner-table-conversation-starter-napkins.md) - [Expanding Towel Tablets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/expanding-towel.md) - [Versatile Cleansing Wipe Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nicepak-wetnaps.md) - [Reusable Wet Wipe Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reusable-tissue-cleaner.md) - [Plastic-Free Kitchen Paper Towels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/betterway-bamboo.md)
