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.

Go back to using cloth diapers before starting a new trend for the entire family. Â When my 55 year old kids were babies, we didn’t have disposable diapers….maybe the rich had them. Â Couldn’t imagine not using cloth diapers. Â I would rinse the poop out in the stool first to get ride of it, then place in a diaper pail containing a soaking agent (forgot what I used now), then washed them on wash day. Â A lot of work went into taking care of that business. Â Not going back to those days ever. Â Toilet paper would be the method of choice for me.
I use them! I call them blotters :D. When toilet paper was hard to find, I got a bidet hose and made 5 in. square cloths for #1. I made a lot! They sit in a little basket, on top of the bucket they go in. Get washed once a week and no it doesn’t stink up your bathroom :D. Saves on water, saves on t.p.! Just the two of us, but I probably won’t have to buy t.p. again until next year.
are some tiny showers that we can use in every use of the toilet and wash. so we use much less toilet paper. fabric is not the best solution.
I see no discernable difference between this and non-disposable nappies for babies. When people started hoarding toilet paper at the start of the ‘zombie apocalypse’, I said then that I would cut a few old t-shirts and tea-towels into squares and use then wash and re-use them, everyone thought it was a gross idea. When I mentioned the analogy with babies’ nappies, most then shut up.
Absolutely.. been there done that
Ewwwwwwwww! Just ewwwwwww!
Friggin people have gone insane!! Cancel Culture now telling us we should change the way we wipe our ass!!
This is not cancel culture.. this is something people have been doing for Years and they do it because to lighten their impact
Do you see how ignorant people project and strength their own imagination into the past or into other invalid topics? How did this person project “cancel culture” into this? hahahaha!
NONONONONO!!!!!!!
I agree, this is pushing it over the edge now. Absolutely not for me.
This has NOTHING to do with Cancel Culture. Just YOU attempting to change the narrative, but that’s what YOU ppl do.
I cloth diapered all 3 of my kids (currently 8, 5, and 2). I also used cloth wipes. I imagine the cloth toilet paper is similar to the cloth wipes. It’s not as messy/disgusting as people think.
I used cloth diapers on all 4 of my kids and wash cloths to wash them. I also used different set of cloth diapers for my menstrual period as I am allergic to most of the pads. These look like the new diaper inserts. So u use it put in a pail and wash in washer and reuse
Not in my washer.
The picture of the cloth TP is crazy. Those are either diaper inserts or mama pads. You would use flannel wipes like those of is that cloth diper use. It would be much less smelly b/c they are not soaked in urine, just a small touch of urine. No need to bleach, just wash on hot. Everyone can use the same ones, they’ve been cleaned. I mean does every family member have their own bath cloth(washable not the spongy ones)? Interesting idea overall. I would do it for #1’s if my husband would, but he didn’t seem inclined when I told him about the blog:)
I wouldn’t  use that, it’s unsanitary to me and what about If you company using them or kids it’s messy and the smell
I use a cloth to wipe my arse already, because toilet paper sticks, rips, and bunches up in my crack. From many of the online “crotch selfies” with those little paper balls stuck all in there that women are posting these days, I can see that many of you have never learned that fact… Sad, because women have more “crack”, so to speak.
