I was about seven when we moved into a house in Munich which had a bidet in the bathroom off the master bedroom. Perplexed, I asked my mom what it was. She told me it was a foot washer.
Seemed a reasonable explanation at the time...
Or, how about chamber pots? Anybody remember those? My mom used to set one up under big sister's (AKA the guest) bedroom bed when my paternal grandmother came to visit at our Virginia homestead.
(Now me, middle of the night, back in those halcyon days of yore, I used to just open the window and letter rip. Course that approach would have been harder for dear ol' granny. Not sure she would've had the hand strength to hang on.

At my grandparents house in England, every bed had a thunder mug under it.

I'll always remember that John Wayne toilet paper we had in the service. You know the kind...rough and ready and doesn't take any poop off anybody?
I used a roll of the stuff to polish down some primer on an old '56 Chevy I had.

My grandparents down in rural South Carolina called it a slop bucket. Sixty-odd years later, it still makes my stomach churn just writing about it. Whew.
The city provides it's workers with some that's not much better than waxed paper. When the perf fails during the one handed snap the question of flowered vs. folded becomes moot.

Funny thing this thread popped up, I was just sitting here telling the two dogs that there was a whole lot about toilet paper that I didn't know and frankly was ashamed to ask the folks that I knew would know about those things..and lo and behold this shows up. Seriously, that's about as good a laugh as I have had today..THANKS!

Well, smells can travel far into the atmosphere! Now regulated, so maybe you are downwind?

Very interesting. My question on this subject matter is. Why do they include the TP packet in the accessory bag in MRE's? After eating them for a few days I had no need for it! Talk about "bound up".

Can't believe I read this thread for 31 posts! C rations had the meanest TP ever invented but it was better than nothing! Knew many that had 2 holers when I was a kid.

Earl Bassett: Oh man, this stuff tastes like toilet paper.
Grady: Earl, that is the toilet paper.

Well done Bud, but don't forget the "hand full of leaves"-the woodsman's friend! Be careful about some of those leaves though...

When using pages from catalogs, phone books, or books: wad into a ball then flatten. The wrinkles give the smooth paper some traction. Glossy magazines need wadded up 2 or 3 times!
(now you know the use for an old phone book!

Roman army squads would share living quarters, cooking utensils, and a sponge on a stick. A sponge on a stick. This was of course before modern medicines and certainly helped spread communicable ills.

Ok! Ok! I did talk to that woman.
I said- ma'am , why are you carrying all that toilet paper?
She replied, I'm on my way to Moscow. I hear they don't have good soft TP there.
Great! Moscow, Russia is an intriguing place.
But I'm not going there. I'm going to Moscow, Idaho.
Oh! I didn't know they had a TP shortage there too.

Unless you count those poor Roman sponges.
