If I read that article correctly, you then need one bin to hold the cloth pee-pee wipes and then another bin to hold whatever wipe is used for poo. How lovely.


In each bathroom of our home, there is a container of many clean cloths on top of the tank and a small bin on the floor that we use as a hamper. After each 'go,' we take one cloth, use it, and drop it in the hamper."

On poop:
"At the moment, we don’t use the cloths for poop; they're just for pee. We use baby wipes because toilet paper just doesn't get the tushy clean enough, but we never flush wipes because it clogs the pipes. The ultimate goal is to attach bidets to our toilets, and then use that to cleanse after a poop and then, yes, to use the cloths to pat dry. I have no problem with some cloths sitting for a day in a hamper that have some pee on them, but I would definitely not want cloths with big smears of poop sitting around and going into the washer.


...and then there's the whole guest thingie.

Amazon, Home Depot, Lowes and others are advertising them. Prices from $34 to $2500 ( for the entire unit), with all kinds of prices in between, each has accessories and add ons. I would consider the water temperature adjuster. Up here in the Great Pacific Northwest, the last thing I want on my bum in the middle of the night, in the dead of winter, is our ice-cold water. But the more I look, the more tempted I am to do buy one. Also easy to install.

You’ll get a receipt so long your whole family can use it for TP for a week.

And since I'm not a really messy painter, they're not very splattered. If necessary I'd cut them up into squares and use them.
