If the occasion arose and you found you had no toilet paper in the house....

For us, it's the other way round I guess. We use water. So, toilet paper seems strange to us and I found it hard when I first went abroad where we had to use toilet paper. But if I was in a country where toilet paper is generally used and I couldn't find toilet paper, I probably would use newspaper or resort to my water method.

If there is no toilet paper but there are saviettes or disposable towels then I will definately run and pick some. or go outside, cut some leaves from the flowers and use them. If worse comes to worst i will use my handkerchief. am stunned that you dont flash toilet paper! where do you throw them after use? In the trash bin? Oh no.

I always stock extra toilet papers....so there will no problem will come.

This just happend to us few weeks ago, when we forgot we had last one roll. we just used napkins and tissues. Also I know when we were kids and you have to go somewhere outside, there are leafs you can use.

The good thing about Finland is that they have this little shower spray, so if there's no toilet paper in the house, first of all I'll clean myself with the shower spray and my fingers of course...then I'll wipe my bottom with my towel and wash my hands with soap. :-D

Haha! funny discusion. i have ran out fo toilet paper before and i do not know how to drive.. so i have to wait till i can get to town to buy some.. i always make sure im stocked up on coffee filers there cheap and theres like 500 in a bag:D

if i find no toilet paper left in the bathroom,then i wash..i use water..then i wash my hands well with soap and swear a little haha....i might have napkins or newspapers in the house but if i got to pee before i realised there is no more toilet paper left,i cant just walk around the house like that in search for some paper so i have to use water...i dont like it much cause it immediately starts itching down there..i did have some problems before and had to take pills and ovules..so i wouldnt want to get an infection or smth again

HAHHAH! Ohh myyy!! this has happened to me way more than once lol..I always think i have more than i usually do..lol..soo when i do run out..i first have Sky check to see if any are hidden..then i will just send him over to one of my neighbors..which are all very good friends as well..and they have always sent over some..but if the occasion ever arises that i find nothing..i would take a shower..i never have the paper so that wouldnt work..so a nice shower seems logical to me:) have a good one!

If this happened to me, which has happened, I would use tissue paper to clean myself up. I usually have plenty of tissue paper as well as toilet paper so this has not happened very often. I do not get the newspaper so that would not be a possibility for me. I might use some junk mail laying around too to clean myself.

In the Army we called Toilet Paper, "Mountain Money". There were times money didn't mean much, but as you're entry shows, you do know the value of toilet paper when it's really needed. I've used pages from books, leaves, an old bandana, baby wipes and even the empty tube the toilet paper comes rolled around... anything is better than using nothing at all. ;~D

I dont know if that would happen to me. because I have an attitude of bringing with me toilet paper wherever I go esp in the bathroom. For me tissue paper is something that is necessary to be inside my bag. I have a lot of stock on my house. But just in cse maybe I would use some alternative. I really dont know lols

We always have facial tissues in our car, so they come handy when we run out of toilet paper...or use table napkins as a good substitute, then use soap and water of course after...I've tried it a few times, and learned my lesson. This time, I always check our stock of toilet papers never allowing again to run out of this very important er...basic commodity...he, he, he...

When I was a child,I lived in country, if i found no toilet paper in the toilet, Always i use leaf. and when i have no paper in the field, I can use some plant with big leaves.

This doesn't just happen at home! Restaurant bathroom stalls are notorious for this. Kleenex is good. Paper towels another. Napkins too! And then get yourself to the store buy some Charmin! lol

I have taken old stained up cotton t-shirts and cut them into 4" squares, these work great for wipes - so much softer than paper and a square can do the entire job! also more absorbant than paper... we ditched these squares, however if you wanted to you could wash them out. you could keep a bucket of bleach water in the bathroom to toss the squares into until you are ready to wash a load. the last time I was in Mexico I went to an establishment and used their facilities - it is common curtesy to not flush papers down the commode in Mexico as the system is too fragile to handle it. Well, apparently this place is concerned there might be offensive smells from the bin so they had the idea to use perfumed toilet paper. bad idea! bad idea that I did not pull a tissue out of my purse instead! turns out I am alergic to the perfumed paper and on sensitive tissue to boot! also, the floral scent made the other smells really sickly.

girl.. u hav a complex problem.. just give it up.. us water....

I always keep a box of kleenex in the bathroom. I have had to use that a few times. I almost always have diaper wipes in the bathroom too so we usually have something to use.
