Spill the beans... on how to minimise loo paper use

Violetta_2

Scrunch don't wad! Figured out why our loo roll was running out so quickly when caught my dd wrapping the loo roll round & round & round her fingers so she ended up with about 20 layers between her fingers & the necessary bit's, turns out her dad had taught her to do it that way.

Squash the roll so it only comes off two sheets at a time, my kids are a nightmare, and use heaps of paper. And scrunch, dont fold!!

Never put .... kitchen towel down your loo.

I have been using kitchen roll as loo paper for at least 20 years (because its stronger) and have never had any problems with drains in any of the 3 houses I have lived in.

You might not have done, but the poor person at the end of your row in the sewer probably has. The person causing the problem is rarely the one who has to put up with it.

I noticed that on a low carb (keto) diet I needed minimal wipes (without going into detail!)

A family story my great aunt told of her war time experience working in service. Her employer asked his staff to economise and only use one sheet of paper. Her response was, "Sir, I have more respect for my fingers than that!" I think the same still applies. I like ALL parts of me to be clean, fingers and bum alike but do find if I use 4 sheets I can refold and get 2 good wipes with no finger danger!

Not to mention this being pretty disgusting.

It's really not. Google "family cloth" - it's gaining in popularity. It's no more disgusting than using cloth nappies on a baby.

I think the expensive stuff can be like using cardboard, especially the ones with aloe embedded.

I do look at the number of squares I get per roll when buying. Stores own is often best.
