Toilet Paper abroad

[Alan1986]

Having had a recent holiday I was wondering whether it was just me

No option to bring home in top box and put on compost heap
Surely most people do that?

I've always wondered about the bog roll in a bin and not flushed. I could never go to one of those places.

Bin. Always. Then I perform a sort of arse-wipe origami and fold the paper so the er.....skid marks are hygienically concealed. Apparently advanced wipers can rustle up a schooner or a swan in flight, which is always a treat for the maid when she empties the bin and a corucopia of delights tumbles out.

Incidentally this story is a trigger for me

Many years ago I went on holiday to one of the smaller Greek islands with a new "friend". After wiping I put the paper down the bowl and went to join my "friend" on the terrace for breakfast. A few minutes later, the chambermaid appeared, shouting and holding up a dripping ball of used bog roll, shouting in broken English that I should have put it in the bin.

I'm still suffering PTSD and flashbacks.

What about smell and diseases. having a basket full of poo won't smell the best, as for the person who has to empty said basket??????.

It should be an EU Law that bogs be flushable with all it's contents.

In Thailand they have notices in some hotel room khazi's telling you to put it in the bin.

I still flush it.

Cos i can,like.

Depends if I shit in a toilet in the first place.

[hellkat]

I refuse to do the bin thing, see above re smell and flies, cos fuck that.

I'd rather waddle over to the shower and clean my arse with the shower attachment

(if its not one of those ones that have the helpful bum-gun shower arsewash thingie behind the toilet anyway).

I understand and appreciate the point of bidets much better these days.

So, by "giblets", do you mean your front bottom?
Or is that a euphemism for your arse?

Cos its alright to put the paper/baby-wipes in the bin if its frontbottom stuff; I do that myself quite often (even at home, cos I fiercely disapprove of flushing baby-wipes)

Just not poo-flavour anything.

So I suppose the polite Western thing to do to manage our anxieties would be to put the poohey paper into one of those revoltingly-scented baby nappy-bags and THEN put it in the bin.

No doubt there are sophisticated and organised Westerners who already remember to take such things on their travels to foreign climes.

But as I am not yet a regular visitor to that sort of country, its not been an issue for me (yet).

In Cyprus in the bigger towns and resorts and in modern properties (like ours) the plumbing is modern and can accept toilet paper.

However, in the rural areas and older properties it is more likely that there'll be a broken, (lid doesn't close) overflowing bin next to the khazi. I wonder why though, because foreign toilet paper disintegrates as soon as it touches you so surely is dissolves when you flush it anyway.

Interesting that Hellkat raises the bidet issue. I'm a fan too in one way, they are great for bathing the baby and getting sand off your feet.

However if I visit anyone's house and find a bidet my first thought is that they must have dried their arse on the towel. so I always dry my hands on their curtains. Just in case......

I rarely use bog roll at all. Here or abroad. I'm a morning crapper, then I wash my arse over the side of the bath or
in the shower if I shower early, although I prefer to shower before bed. This is a habit born from a great many years
suffering with piles and having to push arse giblets back up after a movement. Arse fixed now, but still washy
washy instead of wipey wipey.

I have been to some wonderous places where poo goes onto a hole under a plank and bog paper is leaf you grab on the way(Borneo) to self cleaning and sterilising bogs that you don't want to stay in too long in case it happens when you are sitting down (Japan)

I stayed in one hotel in a place called Catia Del Mar in Venezuela. It had no windows and lots of live stock, especially eating in the poo paper bin. Quite weird having a lizard watching you have a crap and waiting for the poo paper.

I don't use poo bins if I can help it.

In India the majority of people just use water and their hand. Even the rich ones. I remember meeting a guy who used to work for Apple, he said when on business trips in swanky Indian hotels he'd write a note saying that they need to stop westernising everything because he doesn't want bog roll, he wants water, and he's sick of having to specially buy bottles of it to clean his arse because the posh rooms aren't kitted out for the traditional Indian way.

At the hippy camp I stayed at when I was in India, they used squat toilets where the poo was collected, mixed with sawdust and used for compost on the plants they grew. Most westerners there used bog roll and chucked it in with the poo/sawdust mix, but others wanted to be super eco vegan types and got into the 'water' method. I'll never forget the time I was busy washing my clothes, I got talking to an American girl next to me who had the obvious stench of poo coming off her hands which must have been having a good scrub at her bumhole just moments before.

On the topic of binning or flushing bog roll, I usually bin it. Can't be arsed being the one who gets publicly shamed for causing a blockage.
