Thread Name: BS: Where else could it be put...
Subject: RE: BS: Where else could it be put...
TP used to be made of old growth timber, like grocery bags, but is getting less & less sturdy here...meaning it is difficult to do a good wipe job without tearing. I guess this can be both bad & good, as the cheaper, flimsy stuff dissolves faster in the system.....but tedious to deal with. I thought I had discovered a good idea by wiping, then using part of a moistened *premium* brand of paper towel (Viva, in the US)..but now it seems THAT is not recommended and is a problem for the drainage system.(I have not had an in-house plumbing problem, but try to be reasonable about the problem.)

I am thinking that the solution 'may' be keep using my system, but to keep a covered can with plastic bag, much like we used to do for diapers, for the used VERY excellent Viva paper towels. If this country had adopted bidéts early on, this whole thing might be easier...
