to think you should read packet before wiping bum.

[BocaDeTrucha]

Shouldn't laugh but can't help it. Friend came round yesterday and used the downstairs toilet. She came back in to the lounge and said "you're out of loo roll so I used the wipes instead. Hope they're OK to flush".

Dh and I look at each other, "we don't have bum wipes in the bathroom, those are for cleaning the bathroom with, not your arse!!" and she had used the ones with cleaning products on .

You would check first, wouldn't you?

That sounds like it might sting a bit!!! I would probably notice the difference between Andrex and dettol!! Then again I know someone who used toothpaste instead of hemorroid cream so...
People are stupid- that's why there are all those silly warnings on things, my bike actually says "no parts of this motorcycle are edible"

I might be really OCD but I think it unreasonable to not have spare loo roll in every toilet. I wouldn't poo in someone else's house unless I really had to but if you had no loo roll I shout you to go get some rather than use something else. But I definately would read the packet before using! So yes YANBU to expect someone to read but YaBU in my OCD eyes not have to have a spare ready to go on the hanger!

I don't know but DP did this to DS! I'd put the toilet wipes in the toilet saying "We'll need these as we're potty training" and he took that to mean, to wipe DS' bum with. No we were in the CLEANING aisle! I meant to wipe the toilet with every day because he was always touching it!

So if there was no loo roll, what other option was there?

I would check - was it dark or something?

My boys have used these mistakenly loads of times. They said it didn't sting at all.
I was more concerned about how many had been flushed and a potential toilet blockage than my poor boys' bottoms.

I do usually put them out of reach, but sometimes if I'm in a rush they've been left around.

OK, I take on board the comment I should always have loo roll in the bathroom but being a new mum and never use that loo, there are a million and one other things more important than checking that!!! But I take your point. .

No, it wasn't dark, unless she just chose to not put light on.

She wouldn't have shouted for me as I was bfing ds so not a good time.

Ouch.

Sorry Boca, read that back and it wasmeaner tha. I meant it to be. There are alway exactely three new loo rolls in my toilets at any time, the minute I start a new one it has to be replaced. I've been known to hand my partner a new one round the door if he shouts hes finished the current one (bless him for putting up with me!) my OH always says we are not going to have a million people come use the loo at he same time so it doesn't matter if there aren't three but its one of my worries! Same as it makes me sound horrible but I have two hand towels (both clean) but one of for me and one for everyone else just incasethey don't wash there hands properly... Germs eww!

My ex did this once. He said it didn't sting at all. Makes me remembering it now
