Wallypop Family Wipes, Toilet Wipes, Reusable Toilet Paper — If anyone thinks this is not going to be introduced in places like Berkeley as some sort of requirement, then you have not been paying attention. It will begin with a “tax” on toilet paper.
“Alright,” you say, “You’ve convinced me about cloth diapers, and I understand using cloth gift bags and napkins. But toilet paper??” For some people, making the switch to cloth toilet wipes is a huge leap, that’s true. But it doesn’t need to be!
Using cloth toilet wipes actually has many advantages. For one, it’s a lot more comfortable and soft on your most delicate body parts. It’s also more economical, uses less paper, and saves you those late-night trips to the store. And cloth wipes can be used wet without any of the sopping disintegration that regular toilet paper is prone to.

And your Sears Catalogs….
#16 – After living in Afghanistan for nearly seven years I can only say – been there, done that. I’ve also seen some real he-men there wipe their ass with a handful of gravel or dirt!
I live in SE Asia now. I vote for bidets.
#12 – $500??? All you need is a hose with a spray head. Screw the “warm” water. How damned sensitive IS your asshole?
#15 – I thought they used a sponge on a stick. Maybe that was just the aristocracy. Skidmarks on a toga? So hard to get out.
Not going to happen.

“Hundreds of Idiots sick after using dirty wipes”
It’s unsanitary and would use far more water to clean the things than we do now (especially with the compulsive mindset.) I’ll be amused to hear anyone promoting them though.

It takes a special kind of person to not mind a load of sand or gravel in their taint. I am not one of them.
25,
Reminds me of the ancient Greek practice of using a smooth stone. Can you just imagine traveling with Herodotus?
H: Oooo… there’s a nice rock! Better pocket that for later!
Why do you guys hate the environment so much? Not everything should be about advancing your material well being.
Will it blend?
After use, I mean?
!!!!!!!!!Barf!!!!!!!!!
#29,
You cannot be serious. How in the world do you equate people wiping their ass to “hating the environment” and “advancing their material well being”?
Not going to happen. If they outlaw toilet paper, I will use Kleenex.
What do these environmentalist want? For us to throw away all of our labor saving devices and graze on grass?
Where is the stupid banner? That is what this story calls for.
Too bad the BubbaRayDipDork and Ultimate King Kahuna Moron awards are usually reserved for commenters.
#32, you’re about right.
Benjamin this is actually what they want

I’m sure even hunting/gathering or grass grazing would have a negative impact.
What a delightful thread.
Fuggetaboutit. Cloth tp will just clog up everybody’s sewer systems and water treatment plants. I don’t see anybody saving it for the laundry. That would be stupid.
Named: Thanks for my morning laugh.
Most of the world still uses their left hand and a bowl of water.
I’m happy that you’re happy, but the place where you’re supposed to have the toilet paper you’ve got this little shelf with three seashells on it.
