Pre-moistened toilet tissue for adults

[Paragon]

99% of bathrooms with a toilet have a sink. Have we become so lazy that we can't wet our own dry toilet paper? Or is it some kind of ultra-hygiene issue?

[Book Lover]

1. Um, regular TP falls apart when wet

then you are dealing with wet, clumpy TP as well as the original stuff you wet the TP to deal with. I'm all up for flushable wipes. Better still, a bidet.

[mitchtv]

2. doesn't toilet paper dissolve upon contact w/ water?

pretty much so. It takes delicacy to add the several drops only.

[Paragon]

3. It isn't cotton candy

Try using a little more.

[mitchtv]

8. dingle berry heaven is what you're reccomending

I can't debate this issue- sorry

[Paragon]

9. LOL

Thanks, I got a good laugh out of that one.

[Fridays Child]

23. It's not? Uh oh...

[Kamika]

4. You do NOTtouch those

If theres anything the god of public restrooms have taught us is thta you do NOT touch ANYTHING.

Touching the sink will give you about one quadrizillion of germs and quite possibly one or two uncurable diseases.

[Paragon]

6. "uncurable diseases"?

Christ, it's "the hot zone" in my bathroom.

[Kamika]

7. well no

those are mainly found in the public ones

12. That's where the elbow dance comes in

Use elbows to pull new toilet tissue from dispenser. Waddle with pants down and tp between elbows out to sink. As feet are encumbered within pants manipulate faucet with top of head. Waddle back to stall. Climb on top of toilet seat and squat so as not to allow butt flesh into direct contact with seat. Use elbows to place moistened TP on back of heel. Gently raise heel to crackal area and cleanse thoroughly with back and forth motion of foot. Clench used TP with crack muscles, remove heel and allow to drop cleanfully into dirty toilet water, whilst moving hindareas quickly to one side to avoid accidental splashback. Smell fingers thoroughly to detect traces of accidental contamination.

40. ROFLMAO! Bwahahahaha!

Tee hee hee!

Is this from some user manual that hasn't been distributed to the general population yet?

Crackal area? Bwahahahahah!!!!

:silly: :7 :7 :7 :7 :7

5. I actually just buy the baby kind - generic, much cheaper

[arwalden]

11. Generic Baby Wipes Here Too...

... so what if they are not "flushable"... I flush them anyway.

Is that so wrong? I always figured "not flushable" was a warning meant only for those who had septic tank systems.

28. If you have a septic tank dont do it.

They will ruin your system. The woman across the street learned that the hard way a few years ago.

[soleft]

29. They're not flushable?

That's news to me.

[Throckmorton]

31. No, Im not aware of any babywipe product that is

Having had two in diapers not that long ago, I was alway careful not to flush them. If you are on city sewers I suspect it is not much of a problem.

[Maple]

10. Some people wipe the toilet seat

with them.

Impossible with wet toilet tissue.

And some people like the extra cleaness especially if they are having diarrhea or other problems.

It's not like you can nip back out to the sink in a public washroom.

I should add I keep them on top of the toilet tank in my house.

People use them all the time. Family and guests.

You could, however, go for a bidet?

[DoNotRefill]

13. they're very useful...

my wife had surgery which prevented a proper hygiene regimen. Using these, we were able to keep her relatively clean. We tried TP, but it didn't even come close. Very nifty, and effective, but not really for "everyday" use at least around here.

BTW, the ones we used were much, much thicker than TP, and didn't disintegrate at all. This prevented embarrasing "mishaps" like "poke-through". Her surgery was tough enough without her being more mortified every time she had to relieve herself and I had to "help her".

[Skittles]

14. how about we send some to the soldiers in Iraq

bet they'd appreciate them.

[Ratty]

16. Yow! I bet you're right!

That's a great idea. I know I'd appreciate it. Count me in!

17. Great, more unneeded anti-nvironmental earth-killing lazy-ass American

crap. As though we weren't killing the world fast enough with our other out of control excesses and wastes, now we have these.

"Biff, throw me another disposable razor and a wet wipe while I drink my coke in a plastic McDonald's SuperSize(tm) cup out of this straw and pour fabric softener into my wash and throw a dryer sheet in the dryer after which I will try to remove all the packaging from my frozen microwavable Hungry Man meal which I will eat with a disposable fork, knife, and spoon, even though I won't need the knife or spoon, and I'll wipe up with some disposable napkins and finish off with another wet wipe before pooping and wiping my butt with a FreshMates(tm) butt wiper."

Cripes.

Unless one has a true medical need for these things, please, let's try to keep the planet alive and try to reduce the reasons that poor people the world over have for hating us.

[laura888]

18. lol! you're right on!

A few generations from now (or maybe just one), people will marvel at our consumption of all this disposable stuff that somehow just disappears when we're done using it.

excellent post.

[Rabrrrrrr]

19. Thank you! I'm sick and tired of all this earth-killing *@&$^*#$

that people buy because they're basically too damn lazy, too self-important, or a combination of the two.

[DoNotRefill]

20. May you never need them....

but if you do, you'll be fucking glad they exist, so you don't end up lying in your own shit in a hospital bed because you can't move well enough to reach and the nurses can't be bothered to wipe you properly.

You use toilet paper, right? How is that any LESS "earth killing"? It's certainly made of paper...

Your attitude pisses me off. :grr:

[Rabrrrrrr]

21. Read my first post -

wherein I stated "unless one has a true medical need".

I don't mind the waste when it's for medical reasons. I work in a hospital. When one needs comfort, one needs comfort, and the sick certainly deserve some comfort. And of course, for health and safety reasons, there is much waste in hospitals - all the gloves, the tubes, the IV bags, the syringes...

I added that line "unless one has a true medical need" because of my own experience, and from reading your post about your wife.

But when one uses unnecessary disposable and wasteful things for personal use due to laziness or self-importance, then I have a problem with it.

[DoNotRefill]

24. these things...

have the same general purpose of toilet paper, which is also disposable, last time I checked. How does the fact that they're pre-moistened make any real difference? Also, when we used them, one sheet was generally enough to do the job, as opposed to a lot more toilet paper. Which is more wasteful?

[scarlet_owl]

26. I buy these for my husband.

He finds them refreshing and it has cut down on skidmarks. Sorry to be graphic, but it is true! I like them because I am the one who has to do the laundry.

[BiggJawn]

34. Danced around the T-P question, D'intcha?

What about the question concerning the toilet paper? They're right, that stuff ain't reusable...:evilgrin:

Thank Random Chance for cloth towels and Norelco shavers...And the recycling trailer in my town!

[carpetbagger]

22. And no medical insurance for kids.

Nice Christian country.

I think I'll wait for things to change before I step into a church for any other purpose than to look at the pretty windows and listen to music.

[Liberal Veteran]

25. Wow....some really mean responses in here.

I admit I use them. I have occassional hemmorhoid flare ups that cause swelling and inflammation and these things are a god send. They are more...ahem...gentle than a wad of tissue and truth to be told, it would be more wasteful not to use them.

[soupkitchen]

27. Of all lifes unwelomed glitches

What I hate most is when my ass itches

But then I'm an Anusol Man

Got my hemroids the hard way
By drinking beer each and every day
But when the burning gives me too much grief
I squeeze that tube and get some relief

I'm an Anusol Man, da da dee da
I'm an Anusol Man

[Cheswick2.0]

30. LOL, hey exactly how does a man get hemroids the hard way?

I got them the hard way, child birth.

[Nobody]

32. In a public bathroom, good luck reaching the sink

Unless your arms are ten feet long.

[REP]

33. It's a Blessing

Live with Crohn's for one day, and you'll see it.

[BiggJawn]

35. Remember that stuff from 20 years ago "Now, with 'Lotion'..."

That was awful stuff! The more you wiped, the more it felt like you left "stuff" behind. At least it kept your ass-crack from squeeking...

[Ilsa]

36. Peri-bottles

It is a soft plastic, easy to squeeze squirt bottle. Great for a quick rinse, although not as effective as wiping, when backpacking, after childbirth, surgery anywhere around the "bottom end" etc.

I wish bidets were standard in the US.

[kodi]

37. are these what are called in thailand "rectal swabs?"

.

[ironflange]

38. We've has a similar thing in Canada for a while

I gave them a try, mmmmmmmm. . . cushy. Then I found out they don't ever disintegrate -- ick!

[geniph]

39. I vote for bidets!

More sanitary and less wasteful than any of this - pardon the expression - shit. These certainly have their place for people with special circumstances, but I surely hope they don't replace TP for everyday use for everyone - then again, many cultures consider us horribly wasteful for not simply using our hand, and washing it well afterward. It's all in how you were toilet-trained, I guess.

[ProudGerman]

41. I use the pre-moistened butt wipes

I'm still scratching my head how they are more wasteful than a wad of 2 ply charmin. Certainly appears to be less paper in one butt wipe than in a wad of plain old TP. Would you rather all of us used a hanky that we keep in our pockets and washed once a day?

Oh hey, I got an idea. Instead of all that wasted paper, they could keep rabbits in cages next to the toilet, and a bucket of water for those who prefer moist wiping. Just dunk the rabbit, and wipe away.....just make sure the claws are facing away from tender areas.

Thanks to butt wipes, my bum is clean enough to eat off of. Though I wouldn't suggest it unless we're both really drunk.
