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 made cloth wipes about 9 years ago. I am still using them. They are approximately 7 inches square, one side is flannel the other is diaper cloth. I use once to wipe and then toss in a basket for the next laundry day. I never notice a smell. I have purchased 8 rolls of TP in 9 years for guest use. I do use disposable wipes for the poo. I wash the cloths with the towels and kitchen fabrics when I start to run low, everything in hot water. I also use bar cloths instead of paper towels and I use cloth napkins as well. The cloths are well used and have some fraying now, but I restitch them and keep them going. I don’t have any plans to change my ways. I’m 63, I do as I wanna do.
Nooo, not going in my washer, bleach or not. I can’t wrap my head around this one lol
I totally would do this, but my hubby is opposed so we don’t. We currently do cloth diapers for the baby and the used cloths could be washed with them. I mean we wipe the baby’s butt with them… I know several people who do this successfully with washing every 2-3 days and rarely have to buy toilet paper (for guests).
To avoid the plastic and cutting trees problem, we purchase TP from “Who Gives a Crap” who makes their TP from bamboo and ships to your door without using plastic.
Similar to using cloth diapers. Get a diaper pail to put used ones in. If therevis no TP they will come in handy. I’m old school as well as older.
Frist of all you can purchase biodegradable toilet paper, and recycled toilet paper. So to me this is not the most sanitary thing to do. Adult urine is a bit stronger than infant urine. My opinion is No…..
Its so much more important to have disposable toilet paper that doesn’t smell bad, than to save the planet and all its inhabitants….
Come on people! It amazes me how you have bought into this climate change rubbish! They have predicted
over and over the demise of our planet over the past two decades, all have been false!
This is simply the globalist way of scaring people to death. They put that child on the world stage telling leaders we are doomed! Globalist have one goal!! World domination, to do that they need to reduce our numbers. Why the big push to destroy the earth populations. More for them, we will be their workers.
Seriously, toilet paper is not going to destroy the earth! Men certainly will, not toilet paper.
Sadly, those who suck these lies up do not accept Creation. If they did, they would know it is just lies!
Those who accept Christ have the inside scoop! He provided us with a manual on how to survive on earth!
All you have to do is look for answers and you will find them. No God, No peace. Or know God, Know peace. It is up to you.
Hell no! That’s disgusting!
I’m right there with ya on that subject .no way
In combination with a bidet, reuseable cloth wipes are GREAT. Even with a bidet wash, I still use toilet paper to dry the back end (and it takes a lot less), and only use the cloth on the front end. Put the used ones in a trash can lined with the mesh bag they get laundered in, and just include them with regular laundry. They don’t take so much space that you use any more soap and water than normal.Â
In my house, I’m the only one who used my bathroom, but with families, each having their own cloths is probably a good idea. Assign everyone their own pattern or color.
Many of us have neither the space nor the funds to install a bidet. That would be great if it was possible.
You can get a bidet sprayer that is about $60 and attaches to the tank really easily. I think that is what people are talking about. Not a whole new toilet bidet in the bathroom.
Once they are all washed together in the mesh bag, it’s really not going to matter. It should be fine if you use bleach.
At least toilet paper is bio degradable. I’m more concerned about using too much plastic as opposed to to much paper.
I started with cloth wipes over a year ago when there was no toilet paper to be found.
I use cloth wipes but only when I pee. I bought baby face wipes about a 5″ x 5″ square, instead of the type that is being shown here. I have 2 small wicker baskets sitting on the floor next to the toilet, clean and dirty. After I use one I hang it in a way that it dries. Really they don’t get that wet. There is no smell in my bath room because of these. I wash them when I wash my whites after soaking them in a water, peroxide mix. I am allergic to bleach.
I have toilet paper as well so the cloth ones never get stains.
I had just bought a 12 pack of toilet paper when all the crazy hit. I literally just bought another on this week. I have thought about going back to toilet paper but I really don’t see a reason to.
As a single female it works for me. I don’t think you would gain as much this 3 boy the way I have mine set up.
