I can't believe TP is a topic of discussion these days.

But I think I might use a trash can for a diaper pail. I've got some old towels I can cut up and sew rags to use for #1. Wash rags in the machine.

Since its just the two of us, I could hop in the shower after #2 or save the TP for #2.

Cost cutting measures and less trips to the grocery. Limit exposure to others.

Can't afford a bidet, but might do something later.

Funny but not funny.
Your solutions?

1. Several days ago,

someone posted about bidet attachments. We had one, so we were set. But I went ahead and ordered another one for the guest bathroom. The price had gone up from $19.99 to $29.99, but that was fine. It arrived and I installed it yesterday. But the day after I ordered it, I talked with my daughter about it and they were already unavailable. So she bought another model, for a little more money. Now that one is unavailable. So this seems to be where people are headed, except that now you can't find them anymore.

HelloTushy.com has one, but it's overpriced IMO, as is their TP. Their portable one, which is nothing but a plastic bottle with a squirt nozzle, is $29. But maybe something like that would be an idea, rather than running a whole shower.

And Aldi had TP this morning. If you have a store nearby, find out what day of the week the truck comes. Ours comes on Wednesday, so Thursday morning is the perfect time to go. I'm staying home, but my husband refuses to. So he might as well hunt for TP while he's out.

I know he wasn't trying to be funny....

5. That's the one.

And it's what made me decide to get the extra one.

3. I guess I'm used to TP getting so much talk

Because I've lived in a Hurricane Zone. Every major storm in the Gulf, the nuts were out buying all the TP they could get their hands on. People are desperate to have some feeling of control over an uncontrollable situation. That's an easy and cheap way to get it.

A homemade bidet for #1? Get one of those plastic bottles with the dish soap bottle type of lid. You know, the one where you can pull it up to let the water out, or push it down, to keep it from getting water everywhere if you knock it over when you're not using it. You want a bottle that is solid yet flexible enough that when you squeeze it, it will give to push out water, but not so thin or brittle that it will break from repeated use.

Most women who have had a baby are familiar with the Sitz bath, and that's the kind of bottles hospitals gave us to clean our girly bits/relieve some of the pain of episiotomy stitches. They make terrific makeshift bidets. I think even one of those plastic bottles with a push up/down mechanism like what ketchup or mustard comes in at diners would work in a pinch. But don't steal one from your local diner! They're easy enough to come by at dollar stores, supermarkets or online, even with the crazy we're dealing with.

If you're willing to go through the learning curve to get the aim right, a spray bottle could also work.

7. I've never carried to term

So I really don't know what you mean...
But I can picture a bottle
That seems really awkward to me

I don't have money for a bidet right now.

4. The less u eat, the less u poop. Time for a national lose weight declaration, to conserve our TP!

6. A woman infected with the virus said if you get it, you will not want to eat...

...thus, you won't be pooping as much. She then went on to tell people to stop hoarding food and tp.

8. Hand held bidets are sold out too

I ordered one but it will take a week.

Using water for number one.

The guy at the supermarket when asked said they are not limiting how much people can buy. You have to get there at six am to have a chance.

Stupid. The supermarkets are open and there is no greater need than there was before. People are such idiots buoys think the media would tell them to stop and the stores would make limits.
