Cutting down consumption of loo paper

Does anybody have any imaginative suggestions on how to reduce toilet paper consumption? It's a VATable item and is one of those essentials we unfortunately can't eliminate from our shopping bills.
(I'm convinced that the advice to eat your "Five a Day" doesn't help. High consumption of fruit and veg does seem to lead to half a loo roll being consumed on every visit :rotfl:)

I believe the opposite to be true - hige fibre and a healthy diet should give firm stools, which need minimal wiping Hope this isn't TMI, but what so you expect reading a thread about loo roll :rotfl::rudolf: Sheep, pigs, hens and bees on our Teesdale smallholding :rudolf:0 -
Don;t have new ones in plain sight - people are normally a bit more careful if they think it's the last one left!:staradmin:starmod: beware of geeks bearing .gifs...:starmod::staradmin:starmod: Whoever said "nothing is impossible" obviously never tried to nail jelly to a tree :starmod:0

When I was a child my dad rationed it. We were allowed two squares per toilet visit.
I think the washable wipes idea is quite good - not very different from using washable wipes for babies.Mortgage started on 22.5.09 : £129,600Overpayments to date: £3000June grocery challenge: 400/6000 -

Two - seriously, my parents were convinced that one sheet per visit was plenty :eek:
I'm going to look into usable wipes, too:rudolf: Sheep, pigs, hens and bees on our Teesdale smallholding :rudolf:0 -
swap to that stuff which is like tracing paper... Izal, I think it's called? Much cheaper, much stronger so you only need one sheet...
But don't forget to scrunch it up first to soften it up a bit, otherwise it's not the most comfortable thing to use :rotfl:0 -
