That works for men and women, but women have some other stuff that they have less control over. You can shake it off, women, not as easily. And other stuff. That time of the month requires more t.p. You know what I mean, without going into graphic detail.
Another reason I have saved phone books is to access addresses for people. A lot of times those addresses can be difficult to find online without some type of subscription. Plus, it's just a whole lot easier flipping through a book to find an address. Sometimes we might need an address of someone's parents who are no longer alive. Those addresses are still in the old phone books. Although, I doubt many of the phone numbers on there would be valid anymore. However, the yellow pages are still helpful at times as well. There's also some really valuable information in the first few pages of the phone book if you look. There's local political info, county office info, school info, post office info, etc.
I was just doing a little investigation and found that the leaves of the plant called Buttonweed, or Velvetleaf, is safe to use for TP. It grows wild all over my area in the summer. Farmer's hate it with a passion. I may experiment with it next summer, just for future reference. I've got a little over a years worth of TP at current usage levels so I'm in no hurry to try using alternatives...
The indoor plumbing will flush the magazine page - as far as some inaccessible elbow.
I looked at images of Buttonweed and Velvetleaf. The leaves are not very wide, more linear. It might require some weaving of the leaves to be able to use it without having to wash your hands to remove what the leaves don't get. Of course we wash our hands no matter what happens.
Maybe outhouses are poised for a comeback?

Oops reply fail, tried to get fancy and reply to two messages in one post, and I screwed it up. Lol
That is great! I saw that it grows in almost every state. Knowing where to find it would be important. Probably can't pick it too far in advance or it would dry out. I will spare us all the possible outcomes of that!
Also be aware that it is a major problem for farmers and they will spray every pesticide they can get their hands on, onto buttonweeds. 2,4D is pretty effective at killing it. If you've got any questions about what might be sprayed on it, probably best to leave it alone. 2,4D kills it pretty quick, so it'll probably be obvious if it's been sprayed, but You probably don't want to wipe any nasty chemicals onto your tush...
Back on the hill farm, my folks saved the Montgomery Wards and Sears catalogs. Brother Sheridan expressed no preference, but advised you had to skip by the first few pages , because they were slick.
I've heard of mullein for TP and also a plant called Lamb's ear, but I've never seen Lamb's ear. Mullein can be found here and there but I don't notice a lot of it around here...
We have tons of mullein growing in our area. It seems to grow mostly in disturbed areas or in areas of nutrient-poor, sandy soils.
Sears also used to sell squirrel monkeys. I loved reading through that catalog and dreaming......
me to think of it, they probably sold everything but toilet paper. THATS why they’re still not around!
You can use Lamb's ears or cow's ears but they sure don't like it.

Got some of those flannel wipes made.
Sure you do. It's a bolt on unit that converts a toilet into a sort-of bidet.
