:laugh: This is now an image that I am struggling to stop from forming in my mind.

I had 3 of mine in terry nappies, thank God for pampers !

Most of Asia the middle east and Africa use their hands to wipe their arses

ie no paper

:umm2:

It's way better for the environment, but it's not for me, I can't even keep up with my regular laundry.

Also, cloth nappies are way better for babies and the environment, do any of you realise how many nappies go into landfills every year? It's disgusting.

Na, let's keep plodding on finding better ways to make environmentally-friendlier disposable paper than keeping germs and diseases in a bloody hamper.

Are they colour coded so you don't actually use the one Grandad used during his bad case of diarrhoea last week?

bring back bidets or better, japanese toilets with wash and dry

toilet paper seems like a pinnacle of civilisation but it's not. some **** will always stay, just spread thinly by paper

:yuk: urgh, god no, perish the thought

When we holiday in Turkey you have to put the loo roll in a bin,you are not allowed to flush it down the loo. I do think terry nappies are the way forward though.

I would have held on for 2 weeks and turned beige

:laugh:I just feel sorry for the cleaners.

Disgusting. I bet the hotel reeked.

If you're just spreading the sh*t all over your ass then you need to learn to clean properly. :nono:

Lets forget this is about asses for a sec, how are you actually gonna clean germs from a dirty surface away with a piece of tissue

The countries that spray water up themselves are actually about ten steps ahead of us. And considering 37gallons of water goes into a single roll of toilet tissue, we’re less green than them too.

The idea in the op is rank and dumb though

I always spray my ass in the shower. :smug:

But I never said it perfectly cleared your ass of germs (it makes me heave at "rimming" being an actual thing).

But, you actually clean the sh*t off. If you're smearing clumps of brown mess all over the place you're doing it wrong. :nono:

Yeh but the worlds greatest cleaner with a tissue is still gonna leave the toilet dirtier than your average Joe woth a water hose.

I've been praying they come out with a toilet friendly, environment friendly wet wipe.

They get the job done nicely.

Just make sure you use a dry tissue at the end so you don't get the "I've sh*t myself" feeling later on.

I care a lot more for hygiene than i do the environment

I'm surprised they haven't come up with some sort of organic plant material paper like an alternative to using a pile of leaves to clean up... just make an aloe vera-esk plant-based bum paper as a solution...

I know someone who started using a menstrual cup instead of maxis/tampons for eco reasons. Now that is so wasteful, women hygeine products. I imagine the issue though would be spills/cross contamination because it's basically a crotch hood...

It didn't actually but there were cleaners on duty all the time, so maybe they were doing a good job:laugh:

:laugh2::laugh2::laugh2: You are either educating me Maru - or slaying me with laughter. :kiss:

There's loads about it online.
I used to feel superior about wiping until I watched a bbc doc on the subject a couple of years ago.

I don't feel superior about wiping. :joker:

I'm just saying if you're "smearing" it all over yourself you aint doing it right.

My shower makes a lovely bidet. :flutter:

:laugh: I didn't know about the cup thing until a few years ago when I was told in a female forum... she was like this is the way to go...

We don't have bidets in the US (it terrifies most people), but I use wipes and regular old bum paper. I love my bum :love:

What about the increase in water and electricity?

Also, wet wipes aren't good for the pipes, they block it up. :nono:
