Run out of toilet roll what can I use?

[Starbuck8419]

Someone suggested a sock.

Don’t mistake nettles for dockleaves!

Get out into the countryside and collect bags of sphagnum moss, as used in ancient times. Environmentally friendly as an extra bonus too!

When I was a child we used newspaper if we ran out..... it was pretty grim tbh 🤢

Some people are seeing the marketing upside of the current situation. Here’s an email I got earlier......

moss- good enough for the vikings

someone just posted a great gif of an odd sock basket now parked on the top of the loo...

I have a pile of Lib Dem leaflets left during the election campaign.

Can't you buy toilet roll?

Comment of the week

I agree with those saying don't put kitchen roll down the lo - unless you want a nasty blockage and a hefty bill to shift it. Not envy.

loo*

Why on earth would anyone use anything else? Surely you would just wash yourself

Message a friend or drive round for some

This was still a light hearted joke

Someone on my fb feed said shower your arse while singing happy birthday to Boris

There's still plenty of toilet roll on the shelves here. It's a bit thin on the ground in Tesco tbf, but you can stock pile buy it from Wilkos, QD, Lidl, Aldi and the Co-Op.

In the olden days my dad and his family used newspaper. It was one of his chores to cut the paper up into useable squares

Guys, it’s a light hearted thread. I’m not at the stage I need to cut up clothes or drag my arse along the floor like a dog. It was meant to make people smile. But thanks anyway!

😆

actually have two!!!! 😂😂

That solves it. One for you, one for visitors

I heard a bit on the radio the other day where they were talking about using leaves as an alternative.
Can’t remember which they said were best, but they advised avoiding nettles, thistles and other thorny plants - as if the stings and prickles when you were picking them wouldn’t be warning enough!

But just to reiterate pps, if you’re using anything like kitchen roll, baby wipes, newspapers, leafs, bag it and bin it rather than trying to flush it down the toilet.

@SnoozyLou which cat will be the guest ‘towel.’ Ooooh this could be an interesting fight to the death 😂

Shower the shit away

Both my grandmothers used to cut up newspapers into neat squares and hang them on a hook in the loo. They would have been amazed that people spend good money on something to wipe their arse with.

I've been eyeing up the very fluffy cat who always follows me to the loo 👀👀👀

Any swans knocking about?
