Just wondered how many people have these in their purse. Personally I think they are a great invention! laughing.gif

I have them in my desk at work, much easier on the butt than the government TP.

Wife uses them at home and that was a compromise over her keeping a bucket of water in the bathroom.

I use it ever since I landed in North America. Always make me feel fresh and clean...

OMG I thought I was alone in my obsession with carrying these with me at all times. They're at the top of my "if you were stranded on an island, what could you not live without" list!

P.S. Baby wipes are just as good - and cheaper!

I don't carry them in my purse since it's very rare I'll need them while at work, but I do bring them with me when I travel.

I also keep them at home.

They are similar to baby wipes, except that baby wipes cannot be flushed (they clog drains and mess with septic systems) but the flushable wipes can. I remember when I was potty-training my oldest that I was so frustrated at how poorly TP does in cleaning off the bum. I had just given up on that and started using his baby wipes. But it was frustrating becuase they couldnt' be flushed.
Two weeks later in the bath aisle, I saw the flushable wipes and almost broke out in tears. I haven't looked back since.

one great step forward for mankind!!! gotta love those wipes... they are great for everything...
sticky hands from kids... spills... and the OTHER... lol

I don't carry any, also don't have them at home but they are a good idea! When I visit India again I'd definitely have them with me!! I carried wet wipes around everywhere there...but never needed to use them for the bathroom actually. (found western style toilets w/ toilet paper)
gimygirl
i'm with luvalimey on this one ... after my eldest was potty trained ... he had a hard time cleaning everything nicely (so to speak). the flushable wipes are much easier for a 3-4 yr than TP. so yes, we are spoiled ... and have them on the back of the toilet!! good.gif

and like mdyoung, i also carry some in my purse for the same reason (cheap gov't TP at work!!!) laughing.gif

What's a wet toilet wipe?

All I can think of when I see this topic is those stupid Charmin bears in the commercial, pi$$ing in the woods, then dancing and singing about it.

Clearly. When is the VJ potty training seminar? I think I'll skip the demo part.

Well all I can say is 35% of us have cleaner butts than 45% of you laughing.gif laughing.gif tongue.gif

Wife uses them at home and that was a compromise over her keeping a bucket of water in the bathroom.


That is something I don't know how we will deal with when Luz gets here. She only washes afterwards. I still don't know how she keeps from walking around with a wet butt! I noticed in asia that they don't use TP. Most places have a garden hose next to the john.

You just have to say we aren't keeping a freakin bucket of water in the bathroom to wash your *ss and try these. Wife bitched at first, but has no problem with using them now.

Wow, I am learning a lot of new things about other cultures' bathroom habits today! Never realized that TP wasn't used almost universally

Essentially they are...repackaged to call them toilet wipes, so the companies can slap a higher price on them...just MHO. smile.gif
shannon65
when I remember to buy them I carry them.....you never know when you'll be stuck in a public bathroom with no TP...and I think they work better than TP anyway

Charmin sells little tiny rolls of toilet paper, with a super-skinny cardboard tube, in a plastic holder. I carry one of those in my purse. Also in my backpack when we go hiking. yes.gif

here is alternative for home

or

been thinking when my husband gets here I might invest into one of these options.

Mrs. Forgetful
I don't use them, but I am going to start. It's seems much easier than a wet piece of toilet paper or taking a shower every time after I go #2.
