Reusable toilet wipes? Worse still, here’s how to “use them.”
Not sure if this is better or worse than Sheryl Crow’s “one square of TP per bathroom visit” suggestion.
I think I’m gonna be sick.
PLUS: Just say no … to Charmin?

Mr. Whipple was a sexist.
Long ago, we (of one military service) were told that people (of a rival military service) were taught to use a single sheet by carefully tearing a hole in the middle of the square, through which a finger was inserted (with instructions to carefully preserve the small circle torn out to make the hole.
They were taught to use the finger to “tidy up”, and when finished to use the square to clean off the finger.
The tiny circle carefully preserved? To clean under the fingernail.
Grossed out?
Get used to it, there is a long way to the bottom, and we are going there.
You really think hat was gross?
Consider this–how did they do things in the 10th century?
That is where we are headed. If the Moslems don’t do it, the ecoterrorists will.
Hey! I didn’t bring it up!
I can see how popular this is going to be in this country.
Remind me not to eat anything Cheryl Crow fixes.

I find it odd that she wants to save these toliet wipes but then recommends using chlorine bleach to clean them in the wash.
I don’t know, I guess she is trying. I certainly won’t be going that far. That is why I only smoke hand rolled cigars. No non-biodegradable waste after I am done. That is me doing my part.

I really think we need to put this whole issue behind us.
There is a need to come clean, for sure.
My parents had those when I was a kid… they called em “diapers”…
Naturally, the reuseableness requirements (upkeep) costs are probably in line with the pollution profile of creating toilet paper in the first place, but who cares? Isn’t it the gesture that counts?
P.S. I’ve got some “seats of ease” and “chamberpots” for sale, if you live above the ground floor, and have a balcony so you can empty them… just sayin’…
PS: regarding the “just say no” link– that article was written by “US environment correspondent” Suzanne Goldenberg, so don’t just write it off** as nonsense! She’s the “US environment correspondent”! Zowee!
** yes — I DID almost write, “don’t pooh-pooh this as nonsense…” but then I thought better of it.
The envirokooks do not do their research. The paper comes from sustainable tree farms specifically grown for that purpose. If it were not for the paper industry, you would not have those farms or the wildlife they support. Leave it to a bunch of liberal whackos to conveniently omit inconvenient facts.
Sounds like dysentery waiting to happen, to me.
That’s some serious crappy crap crap.
“seats of ease” — Never hear that before, but the “chamber pots” I am.
I’ve visited in houses where they were in current use.
And maybe one of my long dead jokes will be another chance.
