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:

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:

has anyone heard this expression - this place is a ???? whole ? its in the post. the save the earth brigade are going to love it and if it is going to save the world we are all going to follow.


this way please now to your right. thank you.

hope you're not trying to smear my wiping technique :suspect::hee:
but thank you for de facto agreeing with my point by using shower as bidet after dry wiping :thumbs2:

we need biodegradable wet wipes

in the meantime could try damp toilet paper?
they used to advertise kitchen towels as not coming apart when wet

Damp toilet paper?

It would fall apart like... well... a bag of sh*t.

They do have those. But I'm not a fan of flushable though just because they don't seem to do as good of a job as non-flushable. But I find I use a lot less to do the job than just regular TP...

Something plant based would be cool, because it's naturally non-abrasive... like those big house plants with giant ass leaves. Here for the survival guide that tells us we can grow our own poo poo plants in our backyard... free TP for life.

Doctors and patients /w IBS actually suggest to dampen up TP sometimes

:joker: I cannot believe this thread - Grown, Intelligent Peeps and here we are having all manner of, well, UGH discussions. :laugh:

So if a baby gets the runs on their clothes and you wash them in the washing machine, is that unhygienic?

Then I would advise a cloth in those cases that can be thrown out after.

Wet tissue is asking for sticky fingers. :nono:

Some people just use the cloths for a pee and wash them and use toilet paper for a poo, I think that is a good compromise
