The usage of toilet paper, what did they use long ago?
So I'm thinking about things, like I sometimes pretend to do, and I'm contemplating the time before toilet paper. First, let's get one thing straight. Everyone poops, and everyone poops on themselves. It is the law of gravity/nature. If you don't poop on yourself then don't buy toilet paper and see how well you make out. You'll be running to the store faster than Kobe Bryant to the jeweler. Anyway, back to my meaningless pondering.....What did they do before toilet paper? I think I'm headed to google to do a search on this history of toilet paper. If I'm not back in five minutes, just wait longer.

Ok, I actually know this one. In part they did use leaves. Corn cobs were also popular. Strip the corn off with a knife and dry the cob. Also, the Sears and Roebucks catalog was quite popular. In fact their sales went way down when they went to a glossy paper. Now here is the real question. Why do I know this?
Why do you know that Brandon???? You tell us, or do we not want to know. I'm guessing the latter!!
the romans used sponges on sticks, fact fans.
Hello Ronald,
So do you think they used to think, "How great life is with these Sears Catalog pages, those poor souls before us."
I wonder how gross using toilet paper will be 100 years.
Hello Ronald,
I just left your site to READ the news paper, came across an article for the worst Christmas gifts mentioning this toilet innovation:
Inflatable toilet: http://www.preparednesscenter.com/inflateapotty.html
Available in two sizes for children or adults. Line and cover the entire child-size unit with 8-gallon kitchen trash bags, or the adult-size with ordinary 13-gallon trash bags, to keep everything neat and clean. Deflated, the Inflate-A-Potty folds into it's own pouch and is compact enough to store in the glove compartment, pocket, tote bag or purse. 3 disposable bags, twist ties, tissue and extension tube are included and also fit into the pouch.
lmao, Inlfate A Potty rules!
