Had a long hard look at the rhubarb today, it’s days could be numbered!

Any survivalists out there with better suggestions?
 
My niece lives in Boro and I'm in London. Last week she called me asking how the situation was and I said it was a bit of a nightmare with everyone stockpiling toilet rolls etc. She asked me if I had managed to get some and I said no. I then told her that we had been reduced to using old rags and washing them out in the sink. She was very close to believing me and I know she couldn't wait to get off the phone so she could get down the shops :giggle:

One alternative that's been talked about is to use water. That's what they do in many countries, such as in Asia. It's true that in most countries nowadays that involves the use of a "bidet spray wand" aka "bum gun" but before they had the indoor plumbing required for that (and still in some countries today) they just use a bowl or jug of water. The video below shows the technique to use. While this guy is demonstrating using a squat toilet, the same technique would work with a western-style toilet as well.


Although he doesn't mention this, when I was on holiday in South Asia and had to use this method, I would apply an amount of (preferably liquid) soap to the left hand before starting the cleaning process as well - and still wash both hands thoroughly afterwards, of course. It's a bit of a mental adjustment to make at first if you've only ever used toilet paper in your life before but it's OK once you get used to it.

Just saw another YouTube video with what I think is a good alternative to using a jug or bowl of water and that is to use a washing-up liquid bottle filled with warm, soapy water. It seems to me that it would have at least a couple of advantages, such as being easier to get the water to go where you want it and being able to generate a jet of water that would aid in the cleaning process.

its a Lota pot most use. Can be found onlin every cheaply of anyone is struggling to get bog roll.
 
The romans used a type of sea sponge on a stick.They would sit in their communal toilets chatting together whilst they had a plop, wipe their doings with the sponge an then wash it with the running water they had in a channel at their feet. They’d then put the sponge back in a handy hole next to the latrine for the next person to use 💩 So all you need to do is find one of these sea sponge thingys an you’re sorted - I think they have them in Tesco ...... oh hang on a minute.....
