Wet wipes.

The other week the downstair's loo was blocked. Waited in all day for a plumber. He was here for all of 2 mins to announce there was nothing he could do. The drains were blocked. So had to wait in for Northumbian water to come out to clear them, which they did... Today everyone in the close has had a letter from Northumbrian requesting people to stop flushing wet-wipes. Because if it happens again, they have 'innovative techniques' that will enable them to pinpoint which house is responsible (to be honest, I think it's me ) and they will be looking to recover the costs of the blockage clearance/clean up. Can they do this? On the packs they say they're flushable, apparently they're not!

How are you supposed to clean yourself properly? Dry toilet paper on its own will not do the job! Someone on the forum a while back was showcasing Japanese toilets. They give your bottom a good, proper wash, they're the future.

Toilet paper sucks ,

I will go underground i'm no afraid to use Black Market Wet Wipes ,

The packs of wet wipes I buy state clearly on the front that they're flushable, It's misselling isn't it? But being a decent citizen I shall pop round to Home Bargains tomorrow and buy a little pedal bin specifically for used bog tissues!

Flushable, doesn't mean degradable.

You cannot possibly clean yourself properly with dry toilet paper alone. I would love one of those Japanese toilets, but it's the expense. Ditto for a bidet. But being a decent citizen, I popped to Asda and bought a small pedal bin. So no more flushing wet wipes down the Loo, even though it says on the pack that they are flushable!

I had a look on that link. I didn't know those bidet seat attachments even existed. The installation is way beyond my capabilities, I'd never attempt it, I would end up flooding the place. But I couldn't understand with it being non-electric, how you could get hot water when it was only connected to the toilet's cold supply. I had a look at others on the page. I see you can get toilet seats with the attachment built in, and they had adjustable sprays, I like the look of them.
Another thing that would put me off is that of the few i looked at, none had any reviews...

If your really that concerned, get one of the spray bottles you use for cleaning worktops and just fill it full of water.

Take it with you to the toilet and aim it between the cheeks and squirt.
Hell you could even add herbs or some sweet smelling cocktail of deoderants to it.

No expensive bidet, just a squirty bottle of sweet smelling liquid.

Bet it would fit in a handbag, for portability.
Damn i should patent the idea, although someone probably has already.

Grab your bottle of "Fruity Butt Cleaner", at all major retail outlets today.

*patent pending*

Perhaps I should just do what the Romans did - squat over running water and scrub away with a brush!

I'm pretty sure the Andrex wet wipes say they're flushable. I'm always a bit para so I tend to flush A LOT. If I think the loo is starting to get too full of loo roll or wet wipes I just flush. Then start the process again as many times as needed.
