Toilet paper

Just had to buy some Cheeky Panda from a shop that didn't have any that I knew I wanted to buy.

I bought Andrex® Skin Protect Toilet Tissue - didn't realise it was infused as was in a hurry.
It might suit you though. Very smooth, doesn't disintegrate into bits on use. A bit fragrant but not irritating.

Here's what Andrex says help protect against the causes of irritation while supporting your skin’s natural barrier and pH balance. Indulge your senses with every use. Each superior silky-soft sheet is enriched with a soothing lotion, delicately infused with a touch of vitamin E and camomile, for a beautifully gentle, comforting clean. Dermatologically tested, suitable for sensitive skin and approved by the British Skin Foundation, our superior silky-soft sheet delivers the best care for your skin.

It's new so was on offer last week.

I keep a small plastic jug in the bathroom,
just a drip of liquid soap and some warm water, then pat dry with a microfiber square. I think they used to call it bottle washing during the war.

Agree with Boadicea
I also use a bit of moisturiser ( Diprobase). As we get older, we get very dry down there…. hence the itching.😂

I used to use the small Cetraban pump for that reason but the pump stopped working on one and another one I bought the pump didn’t work at all. So I, too, now use Wype. It lasts for ages because you only need a tiny amount.

Just thought - if you went for the cotton squares idea you could pop them in Napisan until it’s towel wash day - if you wash you towels at 60•C
Urine, I think, is fairly sterile unless you have an infection? It’s perhaps any smells you’re concerned about.

What happens to flushable moist toilet tissue? I wonder how well it dissipates.

Looking it up it says that they degrade very slowly and mainly get caught in sewage plant filters. I have a biodigester and would be wary of using this.

I have sensitive skin in all areas. So after using dry toilet paper I use 'Sainsbury's Supersoft Flushable Moist Toilet Tissue, Sensitive'. it works for me because it's inexpensive and prevents itching.

Wype sounds good. I am going to try it as an option usual product.

You can get toilet paper with Trump's face on every sheet ......

Ladies this phenomena is commonly called "foofetti" 🤣

I'm so pleased to read this thread. I thought it was just me. I've been irritated by the tiny white bits left after wiping too. I've tried endless papers but they all do the same thing. I'll give Cheeky panda a go. Thanks.

Boadicea, loo roll had me in stitches. Love it.

Who Gives a Crap bamboo and a great company too. Highly recommend.

For those recommending Wype.
Buy a big bottle of Aloe Vera gel instead, I got mine from Amazon. Just the same, a fraction of the price and you can decant some into a small bottle for use when you’re out. Very effective and soothing.

Interesting. I think I was the only one recommending Wype. I've just taken delivery of a bumper pack, so it will be ages before I need to replace it, but I'll bear that in mind, thanks.

We use “Who gives a crap” it’s very good.

I completely agree, best I’ve found!

Funny story, DD wanted some loo rolls for crafting at school last year, I religiously collected them, we use a lot with 6 adults, proudly presented them to her and she burst out laughing, “oh I cannot use those, they say “who gives a crap on them” “

Haha, I hadn’t even noticed, her little 5 years would have, and so would their parents and, worst of all, DD’s Head Teacher!

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this toilet paper in Lidl in Frankfurt last year - of course it's in aid of breast cancer.
I gave some to my mum thinking she would find it funny but she asked me to take it away before any of her friends saw it!

I haven't seen ones for prostate or testicular cancer though...

...or you can just wet some toilet paper slightly for a wash and then dry again.
We find Aldi's quilted does the job nicely and is economical.

Bazoo bamboo toilet paper is good. I think it’s as good as Andrex and it’s cheaper. (And it’s unbleached and better for the planet.) I would only pat with any toilet paper after a wee.

Not stupid,we have same problem in our house,our main concern with loo rolls is the septic tank,trying to find paper that is ok

We have a "saniflo" toilet and need a quick disintegrating loo roll. I have found the basic rolls from Lidl works well.

Quite why we think it's OK to just use dry toilet paper is beyond me. Would we be willing to clean our dirty hands on just kitchen paper? No!

If you cant fit one of MissChateline's Bum Gun type sprays, you can get, very cheaply, little water bottle bidet caps from Amazon etc that fit on top of plastic water bottles and that lets you wash your bum!
Trust me, you will never go back to dry cleaning!

Never had the problem. Just use what's on offer. I'd suggest if there is going to be bits left after cleaning it would be "round the corner" where there is generally more pressure exerted on cleaning. Try just patting dry.

I agree with BlueBelle
Pat the area dry , don’t scrub !
I use Lidls cheapest no problems

I use Savers cheapest 😂😂😂 couple of pieces, folded together quick dab and bingo. I think if you’re getting bits left behind you’re rubbing too hard

I have never forgotten an incident over 30 years ago.
I had gone to hospital for a minor gynecological procedure. While waiting, I went for a wee.
It was only when I got back home several hours later that I discovered that my own nether regions covered in many small pieces of the paper I had used to dry myself, and which had obviously been there throughout the whole procedure

I miss the toilet I had once in my hotel room in Tokyo - so many different buttons for water sprays, air driers, music etc.

It even had a telephone attached to it on a cord!

You should get one of those!

I didn't like the heated seat though...

We have loos that wash and dry you, essential for disabled husband, but still use paper for the initial wipe. The flush did not take it away until I was recommended Nicky loo rolls, 32 of them for under £10.00 and they do flush!

You could treat like nappies snd have a bucket with nappysan if it still exists
