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

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 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.

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)

Apr 27 2006, 12:40 PM
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!! 
and like mdyoung, i also carry some in my purse for the same reason (cheap gov't TP at work!!!)

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.

Essentially they are...repackaged to call them toilet wipes, so the companies can slap a higher price on them...just MHO.

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.

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.
