I can’t find a YouTube video of this, it opens in Facebook, but it’s kind of fun:
Ha! Along the same lines: One of my Facebook friends posted something like “We rinse, wash and reuse cloth diapers, and we can do the same for toilet paper!”
I replied that I tried it with toilet paper, and it really makes a mess.
Ha! I do have a basket of cloth wipes that we can turn to if we get really desperate around here. But I do remember from my “down the natural parenting rabbit hole” days that there is such a thing as “family cloth.” I don’t think I’d want to do that on a regular basis…
Ha, from me as well. If only it had said “100% recycled paper bath tissue”.
TP is a recent invention. We could always go back to what was used before.
…typically was not flushable. Corn cobs, for instance. Indoor plumbing is a recent invention.
What about the Sear’s catalog? It would flush but probably plug up the plumbing. Just like the “flushable” wipes people use.
Rumor has it that the historical turn propelling toilet paper to its present level of use was when the Sears Catalog went glossy!
The History Guy has a good video on A Brief History of Toilet Paper.
I hear you can use something like a water pick in lieu of paper. Pretty sure I’d want a separate designated water pick for that job.
Yes, that is what I would feel too!
You can purchase a hand held bidet at Home Depot or Lowes that would work better than a water-pic. Cheap enough to purchase one for each family member!
I think perhaps there is a paper to be written concerning, “The Evolutioary Development of Post-defecatory Hygiene: A Unique Behavior of Bipedal Primates”
So by researching that, would one earn a PDH instead of a PhD?
