Anyone else like me? Shampoo and Toilet Paper

You have justified your hygiene habits by saying it's kinder to the environment, uses less trees, the Japanese do it, it makes your hair only gorgeous. You've had every one of these points debunked. Tell the truth, you only did it because you're either too cheap to continue buying what most people in this country believe to be hygiene necessities, or you just weren't arsed.

Excuse me, the only thing I said that was debunked was about the trees, my initial statement was about the environment and actually I proved myself correct there. Check out page 8 of this thread, the production of toilet paper DOES impact the environment and chemicals from water treatment plants "are posing a risk to sea life, plants as well as people's health."

I am only trying to debunk the myth that they are necessities.

Right, I don't announce to everyone I meet that I don't use toilet paper, but I use my left hand to clean and the wash with antibacterial soap. I'm sure there are a few mothers out there who's baby pooh has ended up on their hand, do they have to tell everyone they meet this fact?

Heres another thought. Put rice crispies into the threads of your tyres for that posh gravel driveway sound.

That would be a resounding "No".

These are the chemicals they'll have to use anyway to clean up water full of raw sewage regardless of whether or not you use bog roll, yeah? Well done, you've made bugger all difference to the environment. Why not start pooing in a hole in your garden?

Oh btw,

just did a little more research there.

In just America they use 34,000,000 rolls of toilet paper a day, which to produce uses 255,000,000 gallons of water, 88,000,000 pounds of green house gas's and 161,000,000 KWh of energy.

They are pretty shocking figures.

Indeed, how would you flush that much into one toilet each day!
I think that person who uses that much loo roll should see a doctor though...

Excuse yourself.

They are necessities to most people who have posted in this thread. This doesn't make their use of them "mythical". You've been preaching about a lack of open-mindedness, perhaps you should adopt that very same approach yourself and you might not have received such a harsh reaction.

You're not better than anyone else just because you don't use loo roll or shampoo. As another poster has said it's possibly not you who stinks, but your attitude certainly doesn't smell like roses.

EDIT: And just because you say only one element of your argument was debunked, doesn't mean the rest of them weren't too. You don't have to announce it to make it so.

. What do people think when they're on the continent and they see a bidet? Have people here assumed incorrectly and defacated/urinated in bidets or something?

Anybody with an ounce of cop on realises what bidet's are for. Washing after you have wiped first.

Op you are nothing short of rank, not washing your hair with something is bad enough but messing around handling heaps of your s**te is delusional. Id be concerned for your mental heath tbh.

Using toilet paper is not a luxury and tbh I'm not too bothered about the environment when it comes to essentials like toilet paper and shampoo.

What I do is an alternative, I'm not crazy, but I have to defend myself against people saying that I clearly must not have a girlfriend because I do this. I am simply making my argument for doing this.

Yes there is toilet paper in the picture, but this is most likely for the westerners who wouldn't use the bidet option.

At least you know now never to bring it up in conversation in real life.

Is anybody else finding it weird that so many people have so much shít on their ass after a poo? I use toilet paper, btw, I'm just saying when I wipe I don't get massive clumps of crap on the bog roll. Surely I can't be the only one??

To be fair, washing with soap & water probably feels a lot cleaner than using paper, a lot less convenient though.

I've heard the hair washing thing before, but my hair gets greasy very quickly Usually wash it every day.

Baby wipes are the perfect happy medium

Have you been to Japan before? Their toilets often look like something from the Space Shuttle - there's a load of buttons, one of which switches on a jet of warm water aimed directly at your anus. I pressed it out of curiosity and got a bit of a shock :eek:

True, I do use them if required

I suppose the OP will save water by not needing to wash his hands afterwards.

My mother is a fiend for buying toilet paper, so the issue would never arise at home! In college, we always get toilet paper when we see that we're down to the last few rolls (taking my mother's ways:rolleyes:) and if there were no toilet paper in a cubicle in a public toilet, I'd either find another one, or not go!

(I'm a woman, and I have a "thing" about not doing no 2s in a public toilet anyway, always have! Will try to avoid it if at all possible;))

Yeah, the only time it was ever really an issue was on my J1. "Not go" was often not an option due to excessive alcohol intake the previous night!

You'd be angry too if your hair looked like you'd just washed it with the contents of your deep fat fryer and your hand smelled like you'd been fisting George Michael all day!
Op, go and bleach your filthy paws at once, get yourself a bottle of pantene and stop being so god damn cheap.:mad:

I'm kinda amazed at how many people claim what the OP does is dirty. Have any of you been outside of Ireland/Benidorm????

What's funny is , what the op does is actually more hygenic than just using dry toilet paper.

Use water, and your bare (left) hand. Wash your hand afterwards.

Water cleans your ass better than paper. It is the paper-users who are deluded.

Its the water cleaning hand shakers that are deluded.

You'd need a hell of a lot more than soap to clean poop from your hand. And tbh from the OPs posts on expense of shampoo and what not i doubt he uses antbacterial anything down to cost.

ah sure the oul bar a soap will clean me pooper scoopers
