| jadzia66's Full Review: Dixie Paper Water Cup Flat Bottom Waxed 3oz 50 Pk ... |
Everyone I know has always had Dixie Cups in their bathroom for everyday use. When my oldest daughter began brushing her teeth on her own I knew it was time for me to buy some Dixie Cups to use in our own bathroom.
All About Dixie Paper Water Cup Flat Bottom Waxed 3oz 50 PK Sage
Dixie Paper Water Cup Flat Bottom Waxed 3oz 50 PK Sage is a simple and healthy addition to add to your bathroom. These are your typical water cups and are quite sturdy considering that they are made out of paper. They are waxed, which helps prevent water from leaking through and the flat bottom keeps them upright. This pack comes in a 50 count size but I have seem them in packs of 100 at my local store and even bigger packs in warehouse type stores (both the BJ's and Sam's Club in my area carries them).
The design on this Dixie Cup is called sage. It's a light greenish color that is quite elegant looking for a paper cup. However, if you want more fun designs, you can easily find them. The sage design is the one I find the most often in my local stores but I have bought other designs, such as ones with sepia toned children and another one with blue bunnies and hearts.
Why I Recommend Dixie Paper Water Cup Flat Bottom Waxed 3oz 50 PK Sage
The major reason I began buying Dixie Cups to use in the bathroom was because of the mess factor. My oldest daughter use to use any old cup out of the cupboard and she almost always chose one which was much too large for simply brushing her teeth. After she was done rinsing, she would find herself with extra water in her cup and then just could not resist playing with it. One of her favorite activities would be to put the extra water in her mouth and pretend she was a water fountain by spitting the water all over the sink and mirror. Then of course, being a child and therefore clumsy by nature, there were times this great big cup of water would get spilled and I would have a big mess on my hands. When I saw the 3oz Dixie Cups at my local store, I grabbed them up in hopes they would minimize the damage one child can do while simply brushing their teeth (and yes, it certainly does help!).
Another reason I like Dixie Cups for the bathroom is because you can throw them away afterwards. Anytime Courtney is sick, and believe me last year she was sick all the time, I didn't have to worry about someone accidently using her bathroom cup and thus catching whatever she had. One you're done with your Dixie Cup, you just throw it away along with your germs. Of course, there are plenty of other ways in which she could, and did, spread her germs but I felt good knowing I eliminated one possibly way.
I normally use the fun Dixie Cup designs for our main bathroom but I do keep the Sage design on hand for when company comes over or we have a party. It certainly adds a more grown up atmosphere to your bathroom then the designs with little cartoon animals on them.
Overall, we are very pleased with Dixie Paper Water Cup Flat Bottom Waxed 3oz 50 PK Sage. They work great for our family and I would certainly recommend them to anyone and especially for people with young children in their house.
