    Sainsburys moist towlettes, like a cross between toilet paper and baby wipes. Amazing, my cornhole has never been so lacking of corn

    Will those of you using wet wipes and then flushing them down the toilet please stop it - http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-31941482

    Indeed. And wet wipes are for babies and Spanish showers. If you are wiping your own ring with them then you have issues, and probably anal thrush.

    I find that using the gently torn pages from a rolex guarantee certificate removes even the most stubborn of cling ons
    Having experimented with the same from a Grand Seiko I have to report that the quality of ink used is not as good as it leaves more marks than it removes .

    But of course this has led me to adopting the Italian approach to such things

    I modified my Trunk Monkey to wipe mine for me... It have given him a new purpose since I purchased a car without a 'trunk'...

    He uses fresh scented angora rabbit skin wipes.

    Toilet paper? Toilet paper? What kind of barbarian uses toilet paper? If you fall face first into a pile of dogturd, do you wash your face or do you just wipe it with paper? Right, what makes your bottom any different? Who ever thought it would be a good idea to clean the dirtiest crevice in the human body with just wiping it with paper?

    Might try applying the water and the hand from the backside. Huge hairy hanging cojones tend to get in the way, if you're washing Uranus like the dude in my pic.

    You finger yourself?

    That dude either has his arse and bollocks fitted back to front or is having a shifty tug.

    And I'd be expecting a nail brush in the hand washing shot.

    I'm sorry - net-net I think paper is winning the battle here.

    Wash not wipe, I agree wholeheartedly with Possu. Since returning from Turkey over 20 years ago, it's been wash then use toilet paper to dry all the way.

    I have a similar device to the one in the ad, except that mine is all metal and chromed.

    Judging by the sunburnt look he probably couldn't use toilet roll have to say though had few messy days in Egypt and those spray hoses rather than bidet were a god send

    Cycling arm warmers work quite well for raging diarrhea. A bit expensive though at Ł30 a wipe. Don't ask how I know.

    I have a tip.

    If your botty has been through the wars there is a very easy cheap way to give it a quality toilet paper wipe experience.

    I find this tip especially useful in foreign climes where the local native food may produce significant after burn.

    Any old cheap bog roll.

    Blob of cheap moisturiser.

    A smooth cooling experience that also helps to cleanse the more sensitive parts of one's Harris.

    An added benefit is that if ever the ladies catch a glimpse of your exit port its not a red raw gateway to hell.

    Well I literally just had a 'Ray Mears' survival moment around an hour ago. Currently in Chiang Mai in Thailand and my gastric system lost out in a battle with some street food.

    In the market I was in when ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE the only toilet to be found consisted of basically a ditch in the floor, and of course no toilet paper. This was a true survival moment

    I won't go into too many details around the nature of my survival, suffice to say I was no longer wearing any socks on my departure from the scene of the crime.

    Maybe the picture was taken after a visit from a certain member of the Swedish royalty?

    Another top tip ; sudocream antiseptic narrier creanm , a blob rubbed into the harris and tweeds will pre-emptively protect from the caustic effects of daliance with the local foodstuff emporiums.

    On that note I am happy to report that the Breitling B50 I was wearing performed superbly. The elapsed mission timer was of particular benefit

    Charmin!

    It has just the right amount of traction and softness.

    Some of the Andrex ones seem to spread rather than wipe, no traction :(

    A friend of mine bought some moist toilet papers just to see what it was like. All went well until he miss took the toilet bleach wipes for the said moist toilet paper. He said he has never felt burning pain like it.

    I'm a fan of any cheap supermarket economy range because I much prefer a rough wipe.

    All of this talk of loo paper is all very well but one really needs a quality, Swiss-made dispenser to go with it. Ours is from a Swiss postal train.

    Butt (geddit?) for the fact this is the G&D I could post some pics* of the ‘toilets’ I’ve been using of late, the lack of any form of paper having been the very least of my worries.

    When I was a lad I remember dreading the visits to my great grandparents house in case I had to use the toilet. They had a drop toilet at the bottom of the garden. It was a wooden double seater so I suppose you could take a friend if one had to venture out late at night although the guzzunder was also readily available. Toilet paper was made of old newspaper torn into squares and threaded onto string.
    Great grandad did grow the best tomatoes for miles around!

    Wet wipes must be quite cost-ineffective, I'd have thought, ignoring the enviromental consequences. A quick spurt of baby lotion from a pump dispenser onto any reasonable brand of paper - that's the answer.

    Icelanders are a hardy breed so I presume it is made from the dried skin of pickled sharks (pickled in urine, naturally).

    Recently I conducted a little experiment regarding the supposed flushability of 'flushable 'wet wipes.
    I took a bowl of clean water, bunched up some of the decent Andrex loo paper that lives in my house and stuffed it in. In seconds stirring with a finger it dissolved into a mush, easily flushable.
    Taking an Andrex flushable wet wipe and more clean water I dropped it in and stirred. And stirred. I put my hand in the water and tried to tear bits off it. No chance. Tugging one end between thumb and a finger I could not tear it in half with the rest gripped in my other fingers. You could make paracord out of it. No wonder most of the blocked drains in the UK are caused by these things.
