I've thought of this, the sometimes frantic search for TP now, and ironically saw an article on it this morning: Bidets.

The retrofit cost is nominal. And think how many trees would be saved, to live another day and help cool the earth: about 54 million trees are processed and eventually sacrificed in the porcelain throne.
This just seems like such a natural upgrade, cleaner, less environmentally damaging through the loss of trees, and easier, especially for older folks.
Isn't it interesting how dire necessities and hardship can inspire us to consider what we might otherwise not have considered?
been out of tp for a couple of weeks... went to 5 stores yesterday.. none to be had, so we use tissue. 2 ply just separate them.... and if all need be use a bit of baby wipe.. or just take a shower... wash cloths and towels clean up good in the wash machine...even that one lonely sock.
SURPRISINGLY ... BOTTLE WATER IS AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE NOW !!! IN MASS QUANTITIES !! No LIMIT ON THAT.. AMAZING. So, I am sure that TP will follow suit...
WISH I DID GET STOCK IN SCOTT!!!
Any luck finding paper?
lilhelp Costco.com has a few different bidet varieties-seats and toilets. The attachment bidet is sold out though.
If you have more than 40 rolls of toilet paper in your four person household, you are the problem. There is plenty of toilet paper. You don't need to have a year's supply in the house.
I have heard that even the wipes that say, ‘flushable’ on the package really aren’t flushable.
I can see how it would clog up the pipes.
Needhelp, that is true. The flushable wipes are not flushable.
I FOUND TOILET PAPER! Not the good kind. And not a lot BUT.....the locally owned grocery store had a few packages of el cheapo toilet paper when I went to get the worshetshire sauce. All they had were 4 packs, some super cheap 100% recycled TP. The kids can use it. I bought 2 packages. It looks be the same poor quality TP you’d find in most public restrooms but it’s better than nothing! We have a big pack of quilted northern coming from amazon on 4/23.
I also found a brand new package of 16ct Frozen themed birthday party napkins hidden away in one of my pantries! Woo-hoo! These are left over from one of br daughters birthday party’s back in 2012 or 2013! I haven’t been able to find napkins in weeks either. We have about 4 days worth of regular napkins left. Once those are gone, we have a stack of fancy dinner napkins we will use (left over from Christmas even) and then we will use the left over football themed dessert napkins from my sons birthday party this past January and the Frozen napkins. After that.....everyone will get a wash cloth assigned to them daily!
AKA Post-partum bottle, 15 oz. using warm water and Witch Hazel, an antiseptic.
One choice was not available. The pink bottle was available.
I think the words hoarding and selfish are interchangeable in this case, right? We are all sick of going to several stores before finding TP. Well, not me but my husband is. I’m staying home!
Act Normal & Conquer!
I forgot to check the price and I didn't want a till receipt (the assistant did offer me one, while reaching for her six-foot long tongs). I expect my bank will let me know if there's a problem...
Who would have ever thought we would be cheering over toilet paper 🧻, right? Funny and sad at the same time. Just kind of bizarre.
Then again, we are so spoiled. There wasn’t any toilet paper available in the US before 1857!
So, I must be bored or going a bit stir crazy to look up the date of when toilet paper was available in the US. Hahaha.
Dd said environmentalists she knows recommend fabric pieces and a bleach pail like some of us used for diapers many years ago. I was glad when disposable diapers came in. But if there is nothing else...
