(23,738 posts)You can direct the water up there, but of course, sometimes kinetic force is needed.
Like 1/2 of the world already does this. No reason to be embarrassed.
Traditionally, you should do all this with your LEFT hand, since most (used to) shake hands with the right.

(905 posts)I tend to go early in the am as to just run through. The parking lot was packed and workers said when they got to the store at 6:30 am for a 7 am opening people were already crowded against the doors.
Toilet paper was gone BUT tissues were fully stocked. I also noticed the crappiest cans of veggies were completely cleaned out.

(23,149 posts)Back when it was on, someone re-wrote the theme-song lyrics; that re-write is SO apt today, with all the tRump-paper hoarding. The revised lyrics:
"Stranded--sittin' on the bathroom bowl,
What do you do when you're stranded,
And you don't have a roll?
Wherever you go for the rest of your life,
You must CARry a ROLLlll.....!"
(There--I've taught you how to fish; the rest is up to you! )

(25,908 posts)Start with a red corn cob, followed by a white one, which will let you know if another red one is needed.

(14,961 posts)we'll just get it at the commissary, that didn't work out. Fortunately we are checking in on my son's friends house while he is in Kuwait. Yesterday we drove 45 minutes to get the 6 rolls of toilet paper.

(72,377 posts)put it in the vinegar-filled bucket and replace the lid. Plan on doing frequent loads of laundry, hot water to sanitize. (Theres a reason why they invented disposable diapers, but I am old enough to remember life without them.)

(16,898 posts)I spent a couple weeks in Canada when I was a kid. We were waiting at a boat landing and I used the outhouse. Inside there was a small box labeled EMERGENCIES. I looked inside and saw 3 corncobs, red, white red. I asked my dad what the heck it meant. he laughed, and said it was in case there was no t.p. I said Why the different colors? He laughed some more and said use the red, then check with the white, and if you need to, use the other red. He and the boat owner laughed and laughed. My grandmother was scandalized, but also trying not to laugh.
I heard that my mother-in-law would cut up old Sears catalogs for use in the outhouse.
