Swooping in to save the day are Wallypop toilet wipes, a reusable cloth product.

The sales pitch: They're comfy and environmentally friendly. You can use them wet, and they won't fall apart. "It's a lot more comfortable and soft on your most delicate body parts," the company states. "It's also more economical, uses less paper, and saves you those late-night trips to the store."

Without judging the potential that this product will catch on or making any off-color jokes, a brief description for how to use these green wipes if you're itching to do so. Well, actually, you can figure out the first part. Then, according to the company:

Step 1. "Shake, scrape, swish, or squirt off anything you don't want in your laundry, and then toss the wipe into the pail or container."

Step 2: Store the used wipes in a wet bag or a diaper pail. "Some families find it easiest to put a small wet bag in their bathroom - either just laying on the floor near the toilet, or hanging from a nearby doorknob, cabinet knob, or hook."

Step 3: Wash with the diapers if you have a baby in the house. Otherwise, for neophytes in laundering poop-stained cloth, an important tip: Wash them separately from other laundry. "Wash in hot, dry in the dryer. You may add whatever laundry additives you desire - chlorine bleach, oxygen bleach, tea tree oil, lavender oil, stain remover, whatever."

The company admits there's "a certain ick factor involved."

Indeed. If you try this at home, let us know how everything comes out.

With all the forthcoming change, I hope to keep indoor plumbing for the forseeable future. I like having running water in spite of the crysis we are facing. I don't mind change causing families of four to leave their dump in the toilet for weeks until a flush is all that will wash away the gaging stinch, but when 45K annual income qualifies for the stiffer measures needed to tax the rich is commonplace I am moving to Asia where resusable wipes are cheap and have been used for centuries.

Now only if they can manufacture condoms that are a little easier to roll back up for reuse.

Tampons!, maybe they could be the next consumable to get the reuse makeover.

Well at least my car only needs three gallons of water to swill away hippies I've ran over. Bargain.

Don't the lentils clog up the radiator?

No, the Jag has that pedestrian protection system that fcuks up the bonnet to prevent injury to pedestrians. This prevents the radiator getting clogged. Well not so much that, but the fact I hit them in reverse to save the bonnet.

@exitdos

Interesting but i don't beleive it will catch on and as one of the comments to the article i also feel that washing the >poop towels> isn't hygenic even though we do it for babies but i beleive bacteria in babies stools are not as virulent as in adults also in that case it's a lot of work with the seperate containers and washing so that would discourage many average families. In my house we use both recycled and regular paper. My 3 daughters don't like the rougher toilet paper but have been getting used to it.

A connecting issue with that of toilet paper is the quantity of water used in our(north american) toilets.

I'll grunt to agree with Wingy, as anything will fall short of my sheer wanting at this moment.
