to cringe at the Andrex Washlets advert?

[Sunnymeg]

Picture the scene, you meet your friends (of both sexes) and start extolling the virtues of moist toilet tissue. You are so enamoured of the new product you supply all your friends with free samples and urge them to experience what has been missing from their lives all these years.

Your friends, instead of immediately deleting your contact details, try the product and experience true freshness.

�..��.. as if!!

We've been pissing ourselves at this advert all weekend, me and my sons.

We've decided a better slogan would be "Really gets the shit off your arse". That's what's required isn't it? Suggested new name ShitAway TM.

It's just as bad as the one where women sit around discussing constipation, that always makes for a fun lunchtime

Catsize eeeewww! That's almost as bad as my Mums fanjo flannel, that she used to wash our faces with!

My Japanese neighbours had some super duper loo installed - it sprayed your bum, and, for all I know (never brave enough to try it) gave it a good scour and polish, and then dried it with warm air. It had a control panel like something you'd find at the NASA Center to regulate temperature, force of jet, time etc.

That washlets commercial is hysterically funny - don't know how the actors kept a straight face. The other cringe-making commercial is the old Dulcolax one for 'stool softener' where the anxious looking girl joins her friends for lunch and announces it hurt 'when she, you know, ^^ ...' Her mate hauls a packet of the stuff out of her bag and hands it over.

Notso that made me heave. .

what happened? Should be ... hurt 'when she, you know, went ....

Oh dear notso, maybe our parents should pair up.

Agree with PPs that these do not disintegrate. They may technically be 'flushable', as in they disappear when you flush them, but all they do is move a little further down the pipe and gradually cause a blockage that costs £££ to rectify.

This happened to us after using 'flushable' wipes. Our drains blocked up and sewage leaked into our garage, and we had to call out emergency plumbers who found a huge wad of the things. They had not disintegrated at all. The plumbers told us they see this ALL THE TIME.

I took photos of the wad of wipes after it was removed from our drains, and sent it along with lots of online shopping receipts that included these wipes. Andrex paid me compensation without quibble, which suggests to me that they know full well the bloody things cause problems.
