Reusable loo paper!

Dunno if anyone has mentioned this before... Not for the squeamish!
I've switched to using reusable wipes instead of loo paper. I cut up a load of dh's old t-shirts and use those instead of loo paper. They go in a nappy bucket once used (we have a baby in cotton nappies so they go in together) and I wash them at 60 with the nappies and a nappy wash to get rid of germs.
Cheap as chips and softer than loo paper! I can honestly say I prefer it! Dh and kids won't join in, unfortunately, otherwise we'd be saving even more.

I think it's a great idea, especially since you are using washable nappies anyway! Good on you!If I had a pound for every...... oh sod it, if I just had a pound I'd be richer!0

I saw the title and I had to take a sniff.
In South East Asia they have a low lying bowl about 3" high; you stand on the bowl with a foot on either side then squat. The message is washed away with a small bucket of water.
A shower hose is provided to wash the rest off. No paper, clean bum, job done.0 -
are you serious?
There's moneysaving, and then there's being downright gross...0 -
My granddad used to always tell me to use both sides of the toilet paper, but that's kind of gross.
You'll be squatting over a hole in the garden next.0 -
just cut the newspaper into little squares ,hang it on a nail on the back off the bog door ,job done ."Do not regret growing older, it's a privilege denied to many"0

You can save a penny when spending a penny!
I am assuming Loveday that you are just using cloth for number 1s? I don't see where the problem with that is. Yes, number 2s is a different thing. Don't forget fellas, that us Ladies use toilet paper (or not as the case may be) for both jobs.
OK, seriously need to change the subject now....If I had a pound for every...... oh sod it, if I just had a pound I'd be richer!0 -
I thought I had seen everything until I read this thread - but how about this for advancing the boundries of green moneysaving.
It is well documented that Methane gas is a much more potent greenhouse gas the CO2.
With this in mind, next time you pass wind be sure to light the gas with a match. This will turn the potent methane gas into the less harmful CO2 while at the same time providing a source of heat to warm the house.
Now hows that for extream0 -
I just don't believe this sh*t0

No worries. You'll be able to use all those worthless £20 notes for the job soon.
