I love helping the environment and looking for things to make the world better, but this is something I am generally concerned about. I just don’t know if I can get on board with reusable toilet cloth rolls.
Reusable Cloth Rolls
People are ditching toilet paper and instead are using these reusable cloth toilet paper and I don’t know how I feel about that.
How do these things even work?
Usually, with normal toilet paper, you either fold or crinkle it, wipe and throw it down the toilet. So how do you use these things?
Do you simply have to use a little corner at a time and let it hang there? Does it dry and that’s how it is reusable?
It simply does not make any sense at all to me!
To me, using reusable cloth seems so much messier.
Sometimes these rolls are all sewn together, making this all the more complicated.
If you are in a big family, do you all share, or does every member have their own?
I feel like it would make the bathroom smell worse than it already does. Unless, you have a bunch of these cloths and use them one at a time. To me, that is not worth the headache.
If you are reusing these, doesn’t it just mean you are spending a lot of money on laundry soap and other products? Not to mention all the water as well. Isn’t that just as bad as toilet paper?
What are your thoughts? Is this something you would do? I think I will pass and do something else to help save the planet.

I love this idea! I have a bidet on all my toilets , I’d rather use these than toilet paper. With a bidet your squeaky clean just need to blot water off.
You could use the reusable wipes after you wash them by hand soak them and basically wash them out like you would cloth diapers
Well that is a definite NO from me!……surely it’s not hygienic ? …..you’re using and reusing and………nope definitely not!!
I made these during covid. I was the only one in the house that used them. I only used when I peed, not for poop or when my period came. They get softer after washing and also work great when sick and have to blow your nose. I just wash with towels. Had a bucket with laundry soap and water in it. Never smelled.
Yes, I have used my own version and saved on toilet paper. It’s so expensive as opposed to a little work and a gallon of bleach.
I have made my own reusable wipes since covid in 2020. I used my old towels I cut these into towelettes, which I stitched with a pretty binding. I fit a bidet to my toilet. Every time I go to the loo, wash and simply dry. No smell. My wipes are damp not soiled. These I wash with my underwear. Quite hygienic. I can no longer use paper, since cloth is so much more bum friendly than paper. Of course not everyone in my family has switched so, paper is always an option
This is eco- eccentricity at it’s worst. What about al the extra anti bac bleachers, soap powders and water that would need to be used, plus the risk of cross infection!! Let’s stick with sensible comfortable paper towels
It wouldn’t be any different than using cloth diapers and if you’re as old as I am, you did use them for your children. I can see how it would be feasible for some people. I don’t care to do it, but it really wouldn’t be that bad.
No, I had no option but to use cloth nappies with my eldest (there wasn’t anything else!
But I really don’t think they were hygienic
Cloth diapers for a baby is very differ than cloth for an adult . Visit a nursing home and a you will find out what I mean. I used cloth diapers for my first born I ha to soak them in Clorox , then wash twice with detergent to keep her from breaking out. It was a nightmare.Disposable also broke her out. It was a nightmare. No thank you.
Don’t people realize that fresh water is also an important resource? All that soap and water being used to wash daily isn’t worth it.
I just can’t. As the person who would be responsible for washing them I could not stomach it if someone wiped a poo and I had to see it or smell it. Seem very unsanitary to me.
Agree! Your at someones house and they have this going on in their bathroom. You need to BYOTP when you visit. My dad said they used the Sears Catalog pages when he was a kid. He left home when he was 17 and joined the Navy in 1932.
