• Toilet Paper substitues - Corona virus

    From xqtr@21:1/111 to All on Mon Mar 9 17:00:17 2020
    With all the madness about toilet paper (aka TP) here are some ways to use
    less or not at all.

    - Clean your butt with fresh water and soap. Use TP only to dry.swipe the water or use a cloth towel.
    - Use old clothes, shredded in to pieces. After the use, you can clean/wash them and disinfect them by boiling them.
    - You can use old newspapers (not magazines). You can also make paper by using old newspapers and other used pieces of paper
    - In the old times people used leaves from specific trees and bushes. They
    also used rounded rocks to wipe their asses or even sticks with rope tied in the end.

    Prefer to clean your self with water and soap. It's more hygienic, specially
    if you suffer from hemorrhoids and you will use a very limited amount of TP.

    Its funny, but in the scheme of things toilet paper is relatively recent, newspaper was it once.

    Remember my grandparents & old folks telling me about the old days here in
    the US. They used old catalogs which hung by a wire or a string. You ripped
    out whatever pages you needed to get the job done. The other method with my roids would kill me is corn cobs.

    And those would be dried out...rather than just taking them from the dinner table & doing your business after you ate.

    On the other hand...Sylvester Stallone has stated, in interviews, that the
    idea behind the three seashells was that two were used like chopsticks or to clamp together to pull waste out of the body and the third was used to scrape what was left over. No explanation was made about how they were to be cleaned or sanitized between uses.

    Just saw that Oakland restaurants that are still open for delivery are now including one roll of toilet paper with each order. Ha.

    Saw this...I started laughing. Have a feeling what they are calling toilet paper is just cut up paper towels. This being the case...the old-timers will remember corn cobs & are ecstatic to have an actual paper product to use. ;)
