Could YOU live without toilet paper? Meet the women who choose to wipe with a reusable piece..
UK Daily Mail ^ | January 28, 2014 | Margot Peppers

For most Americans, toilet paper is an absolutely necessary grocery list item, but some women are opting out for both economic and environmental purposes. In a HuffPost Live discussion, bloggers Angela Davis, Kathleen Quiring and Makala Earley explain why they've decided to go paperless, revealing that it's not as messy or unhygienic as it may sound. 'It is definitely possible,' insists Mikala, who says she and her husband stopped using toilet paper about a year ago. 'It is almost seen as a necessity [and] it doesn't have to be, and it's been a lot of fun to learn how to do it this way.'

The State of Ohio has yet to upgrade the restrooms in some of their state park campgrounds to flush toilets, but some of them have been graced with electric lights, which is why when camping at one of these parks one spring weekend, my first few trips to a certain stall led me to believe the thick black coil on the ledge in the corner above the seat was leftover electrical cable. Until one trip when it wasn’t there. That’s fine. They decided to store it in the caretaker’s shed. Then one morning it reappeared..................

After a few trips to the doctor for treatment of urinary tract infections, let’s ask how going paperless is working out for her?

That really depends on the size of the shower curtain doesn't it?

I’ve done some research in the area myself. Let’s just say that “top rack safe” does not apply. I’m trying to learn how to drag myself across the carpet like our old dog did...

maybe they wash them out and reuse...

theres a story I heard when I was a child about toilet paper...

It seems that during WWII a plane was on a secret mission to England...

It was foggy and they couldnt use the radio and their instruments weren’t working..

the pilot asked the navigator to put his head out the window and try to figure out where they were..

the navigator did so and then exclaimed “Hey I know where we are. That’s Scotland down there. Were too far North.”

“How do you know its Scotland?” asked the pilot.

“Oh that’s easy” returned the navigator. “We’re so low I can see the toilet paper drying on the clothes lines”

The French solved this problem many years ago. Use a bidet, a little soap and water. This is enviro-friendly and if you have hemorrhoids it is highly appreciated. This “ain’t” a joke.

I used another stall without a ledge, and watched the floor carefully. We also purchased a porta-potty.

LOL! A Demolition Man reference! Back when Sandra Bullock was da hotness.

I bet her ex-hubby didn’t use the shells. At least that’s what I gather from his choice of women after Sandra.
