Toilet question I might get a caning for!!!

[Rocking Rivet]

Does anyone use bamboo toilet paper in their motorhome? Is it a viable alternative to proper motorhome toilet paper?

 

[Stealaway]

Whats proper motorhome toilet paper?
I use Aldi ones


Its too late for April Fool

 

[Rocking Rivet]

it’s toilet paper that you pay more for allegedly it’s supposed breaks down quickly making it easier to pour away

Well they make underwear out of bamboo now , but haven't seen the advert for a while.

I’ve got some bamboo socks they don’t dissolve thoughwe just use our normal stuff that dissolves to nothing if you are using bio liquids in your cassette

I use cheaper rolls in the van, at home Costco ones which are thicker.

 

[vanVhome]

I find the bamboo toilet roll a bit sticky

 

[Just smiffy]

I’ve tried them all and the one I use at home and in the van which breaks down really quickly and is soft an pleasant to use is Asda own brand shades…

 

[Branston]

Had some very angry Pandas knocking on my van door once and since then reverted to normal paper,

Trust me, a Motorhome toilet is very tolerant compared with a boat toilet, and don’t even mention people that swallow olive pit’s! Of course trying to clear the problem with an inflatable dinghy pump was a BIG mistake!

Thetford toilet paper is a complete and utter scam.
I cringe when I think about purchasing it in the past .

 

[BooBooKing]

yep, we use it at home and in the van. Never had any issues with it, and much more convenient to use the same in both.

The bamboo stuff is fine so long as you have it facing the right way. Get it wrong and you get splinters in a sensitive place. Ooh, I note it’s after noon today.

 

[TheBig1]

the bamboo stuff is a scam too, wood fibre is softer than bamboo fibre. What you don't use is the heavyweight big brand name stuff. Too many layers slow down the dissolving, as does the addition of Alovera and oils, which make it more waterproof. best way to check is get a piece wet and rub gently between your fingers. Expensive stuff stays solid but rears, the cheap stuff starts dissolving to pulp

Just buy supermarket own brand unless you want to clear blockages jamming the mechanism a few times a season

Totally with you there.

I had a girlfriend on board who, when eating cherries counted 'Tinker, sailor........ till she got to Richman and then dumped the rest.

Fortunately the Henderson V was not too difficult to clear.

I thought this was going to be about caning, yet another disappointment.

 

[DaveFromBarrow]

When we bought the MH (2020) I bought the Thetford stuff thinking it was required. Now just use anything and we’ve never had an issue.

Lidl's finest for us.

No matter what type/ brand of paper you use… always follow the military approach in terms of how much you use each “visit”….

No more that 3 sheets….. One up, One down and One shine..

The splinters would worry me. Sort out the Piles though.

 

[PP Bear]

Stinging nettles, readily available, easy to flush, keep the vegans happy, but only one downside

 

[Vikdikdok]

Bamboo paper is as bad as wet wipes & doesn’t break down easily - stick to using normal toilet paper

Why would you?

[Libellula]

Going to use Bio paper (no chemicals, no bleach), from our local BioCoop in France. We have compost toilets in remote house inFrance and this paper does it’s work and disappears well in the mix. Tried it in a jar of water and it breaks down very quickly. So see no reason to change.

I sometimes recycle my own….

 

[Cat53]

I use bamboo loo roll at home and in the van…still used the put it in a bag protocol though. I buy “who gives a crap”. I think it’s good value for money and when I compared the length of time it took to use up as opposed to Asda Shades, it lasted 3 times as long.

 

[Conniedriving]

I fined The Sun newspaper works a treat

 

[Reallyretired]

We use Tesco's own brand. Breaks down really quickly with bio. We have 48 rolls (double length) on board as swmbo does not believe in French bog rolls. I favour this as they are bulky but light and prevent her shoving in heavier crap.

I see that no one has mentioned Izal.

Always trust your oldest friends I say
