Toilet paper substitute (no water)

When my bulk toilet paper runs out, I am not planning on getting more for cost reasons. I also do not want to substitute it with water as that is just adding to the cost again.

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

  • I think there’s a very large list of things I’d cut back on to save money before toilet paper

    • I doubt OP has ever tried to wipe with old receipts/ paper before - I do not recommend. Maybe old book pages would be softer and more absorbent? Still wouldn’t go there unless absolutely necessary.

      OP would you be able to subtly take toilet paper from your work?

  • I've used a bidet (Walmart)19.99, for the past 8 years. No Wasted $$$ on TP. Have saved enough to retire!! Only fools buy TP.

  • When money got tight during my childhood, we just used rags made from the clothing we got too tall to wear.

    For real though it sucked. I suggest you look into your budget and try to cut down on something in order to afford toilet paper.

  • Is the (10 cents?) saved every day really worth the inconvenience considering much bigger life expenses such as food, rent, etc.?

      • Not the same thing. Bigger rolls, often a 2 pack at the dollar store. A single sheet is good enough, when torn into sheets for every no 2.

        Economically cheaper and more comfortable than other methods.

        • PTs are okay in your truck. But, I had a neighbor that was constantly jamming up the sewer for the neighborhood because she would only flush paper towels. What an idiot.

  • Wet sponges, or a rag on a stick. Reusable, comfortable, and you can wash and reuse. Just... make sure the rag's attached tightly, else you may get a nasty surprise, and a trip to A&E if the stick slips.

  • Leave it be, then when it dries in your ass, you can remove it with your hands without getting your hands dirty.

  • You don't wipe. Wiping is racist.

        • No worries, Ruthie. Very little critical thinking went into either comment.

      • Stop what? Preaching my socially just wisdom? Are you saying you're trying to silence me with your socially unjust hate speech? You're a disappointment to the human race.

        Wiping is clearly rooted in racism and if you can't see that then you're blinded by your racism which is offensive to blind people. Seek immediate help.

    • I love how low energy this is. You know it's not funny so you didn't even bother to come up with some way it could be argued as racist. If even you're losing interest in this extremely overplayed character then just fucking stop

      • You're making assumptions. Wiping is rooted in racism because shit is brown and what else is brown? Black people. So wiping it just means you don't like black people. The answer was obvious. People are more than their skin color.

        You wouldn't understand because you support hate speech against black people and you're probably a member of the KKK. What else? You hate cancer patients?

  • Rags, but if you're going to use rags when you're done clean the rag and let it dry.

  • Let the rags soak in the tub and never drain it

  • I remember during covid the internet started bitching about toilet paper shortages and I was laughing with mountains of toilet paper packages all over the place. I was the first one in my walmart that bought up all the rice, beans, and toilet paper. I spent like $250 and I had enough food my whole family could live like a third worlder for about a year.
