  • Well i've just looked up "mooncup" and i'm glad you ladies on this thread aren't up for it, as a bloke this sounds like the colostomy bag for a period. Not good!

  • Blowing your nose in a tissue and then using it to wipe your "bits and pieces"! Im sorry but that is way too far for me, it grosses me out just thinking about. I can't actually believe that people do this! _pale_

    Stealing someone's toilet roll while visiting them! Someone posted that they'd done that but I think that's taking frugality too far.

    Interesting. But, consider the "lesser charge" as it were. What's the difference between stealing a whole toilet roll to use at home compared with actually taking the decision to "hold fire" until you are at a friend's house or in the office or anywhere else that you feel comfortable doing a bowel dump as long as it's not your water/loo roll you're using?

    Nooooooooo - people don't actually do that, do they?:shocked: OMG, I'm horrified at the thought...

    Seems like there's a lot of consensus on this. I'm with all of the above.

    I remember having to ask for a kidney to be taken away from my plate once when it came with a mixed grill, couldn't even stand the smell.

    But as for the step too far, I think the 'rags and buckets' thing is the most revolting thing I've ever read on mse.

    As for mooncup, then people used to use rags at one time.

    Where's the confused smiley when you need him???
