Toilet paper

I've been reluctant to ask this as it sounds stupid. But when drying myself after a wee, tiny particles of the paper stick to my nether regions and later start to itch. I thought had found a good paper but this last pack has started again. Any tips?

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

Go paper free. Squares of old t shirt. Just throw in the wash and reuse. Better for the planet. I only do this for a wee, so there is always paper available.

I like Cheeky Panda toilet paper and like it especially for this reason. We now buy the plain white version all the time. - don't buy the quilted sort.
This is their website but we just buy ours with the supermarket shopping.

My daughter likes "Who gives a crap" toilet tissue but I prefer Cheeky Panda. It is really smooth and gentle but flat. I think this very smooth absorbant flatness is perfect!

It's this one, in the green stripey packaging.

I'm a "Who gives a crap" fan the bamboo one. Much prefer that to others, plus a roll of that also last longer than other makes.

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!

Mmmm is it better though? I’d be washing them so often and that’s the washing machine being used?

Not sure but you could use wipes after tissue and discard into a bin.
Have you had the tubeless toilet rolls? disaster for us the last portion kept collapsing on itself.

I had a water spray “bum gun” installed. It delivers a nice cleansing spray of water that effectively cleans up after everything. I then “drip dry”. Mine is a cold water only one but you can get ones linked to the hot water.
I’m very happy with my spray but I do keep rolls of paper available for those who chose not to use the spray.

As my sewage pipe blocks on a regular basis I prefer to use paper that breaks up more easily. But can I recommend using Wype along with toilet paper. I bought it for when travelling but use it all the time now. Having a weak bladder I do find myself using an awful lot of loo paper so sometimes use cut out squares of old towels but do end up using an awful lot of stuff like Milton and sanitiser in the wash which probably counteracts any good I might be doing environmentally.

Agree with Visgirl. "Who Gives a Crap" bamboo for us!
