Not reading 20 pages on how to minimise toilet paper use to see if it's been said before, but why not use both sides...0

I've just been reading about the basic 24-hour pack issued to British soldiers who invaded Normandy in 1944. It included four - yes, four - sheets of toilet paper. That was supposed to last the poor bloke 24 hours - in battle conditions, when I bet he needed plenty of toilet paper . . . :eek:0

I simply swing my leg over the sink, press my foot on the splashback, crank the tap up to max - finger on the end - & redirect the jet of water at ones Region de la Nether.
Hey presto! So far I've saved £21.60. Fantastic saving. Well chuffed with myself.
So you're not on a water meter, then?0 -
Dunno about minimising usage, but the quickest way is to:
Stand between loo roll holder and toilet, facing the latter;
Pull end of roll between your legs;
Rapidly pull it through, as though your are abseiling, into the toilet :shocked:.
Gentlemen should then check underside of dangly bits for smudging or rope burns.0 -
Just wash yourself with water, it's hygienic and in true moneysaving spirit.0

A fascinating thread here.
Stuff sold as loo roll, regardless of price, should be perfectly safe to flush, as it very quickly dissolves in water. However, 'other stuff' that folks are tempted to post down the bog cause no end of problems. Wet wipes don't dissolve when wet (just think about that one). Dental floss, cotton buds and 'other durable items' will sooner or later block your porcelain friend.
Oh, and never, ever lend a Roman Legionary your sponge...0 -

I need help. I eat a lot of fruit, and am elderly, and my motion is quite loose. I find I need about 9 wipes (each of 3 layers) before I am clean enough to finish with a wet wipe or two. My doctor has examined my behind and reports all is OK. Am I an odd ball, or do other people have the same problems of needing a lot of paper? My method is to look at the paper after each wipe and continue until the paper is almost clean. My late wife did say I used a lot of paper!0

I also buy the quilted loo roll from Farmfoods, its a great deal, I have also bought the velvet and find it the same quality. 2 squares for a wee and 3 for a poo! cheap wet wipes can be used and binned afterwards. I dont put them down the loo as they are not biodegradable. Either that or buy the ones that can be flushed but they are more expensive.0
