I hear a lot of people say “I don’t use toilet paper, I use [insert alternative here]” but never hear about what is used for the other things.

    Wouldn’t it be better to ask them when they say it?

    With toilet paper, it could be that they use a bidet

    We use a combination of microfiber towels and swedish dishcloths to replace paper towels and we use cloth napkins to replace paper napkins (and sometimes kleenex lol). Haven’t had the desire yet to give up soft toilet paper…

        That’s what they say. And, I’ve spent a lot of time in countries that have them. But, i have still chickened out each time lol. But, I do plan to get an add-on kind one of these days to give it a try. Thanks for the reminder

          It’s an… experience, having a cold jet of water spray your nether regions, and also a hell of a way to wake up in the morning. Having a clean butt after you do your business is worth it, though. I know they make them with warm water hookups, but mine isn’t that fancy.

    Instead of Kleenex I go to the bathroom, blow my nose into my hands, then wash my hands. I’ve never entirely understood the need for disposable intermediaries. Blowing my nose Kleenex or not without washing my hands afterwards seems unsanitary so why add waste?

    When he’s at home and… he blows his nose
    He don’t use tissues… or his sleeve
    He don’t use napkins… or any of these,
