Are westerners being robbed of TP when we get the hollow rolls? Is communism the right path after all?

You can buy something like this here in the US.

The roll is smaller, and they market it as being made for camping (takes up less space in the pack, etc). It also, of course, costs more because of this, since modern camping gear loves to price gouge.

If you’re going to pack TP though, just spool what you need around something smaller in diameter (like a skewer). Or if you know what you’re doing then just use leaves instead, those are free.

if you know what you’re doing then just use leaves

For those who may not know what they’re doing, I’ve crafted a handy guide:

Without that last image for context, I would have assumed you stick the cork part into your butt and poop spaghetti out the other side.

With sumac water?

@Allero@lemmy.today - portable bidet. Clever design! Better than many I think:

Do want

As a household that doesn't use a toilet paper roller, this would be amazing. I hate throwing away all those empty rolls

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just rip the tube up and use it like a really tick toilet paper

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Like a paint scraper

[–] kibiz0r@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That’s cuz you gotta bring your own TP with you instead of it being provided to you for free. No need for a TP holder tube if you’re not gonna share.

Wait, are US bathrooms communist???

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Dont let the Republicans find out! They will lobby to take free TP out of schools on account of spreading communist ideology.

[–] ZapBeebz_@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

There are some commercial rolls I've seen in the US that seem to be a happy medium...the holder itself in the stall has a thin plastic rod for the TP to go on, and the rolls have a very small opening in the center (and no cardboard) to go on that rod.

[–] Vilian@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

In Brazil I saw a toiled paper that the center was filled with another roll, so you'd need to remove that center to put it in your bathroom and use it as a "portable toilet paper" to carry with you

[–] Pickle_Jr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It's so hard to use toilet paper after getting a bidet.

I mean sure, I use TP to double check the bidet did it's job and to dry. But wiping twice as opposed to dealing with a marker butthole has spoiled me.

[–] Dkarma@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)
[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

That’s a grease pen, not a marker.

[–] Pickle_Jr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

I meant wiping twice as in I'd bidet, wipe once to dry, wipe twice to confirm clean, and then done. As opposed to marker butthole 😅

[–] Surp@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Only reason you have a marker butthole is because you ain't eating enough fiber motha fucka. Get some fiber powder and drink that shit bro wtf don't spread misinformation like you spread your ass to shoot water up there to enema douche the bit of poop you left pinched off up your buttholy hole because you ain't eating some God damn fiber my man!! EAT FIBER YO POO BE ONE BIG OL UNBREAKABLE LINK ITS WONDERFUL 👍

[–] manuallybreathing@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

^ this user does not wash their asshole

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Here in Vietnam we use the whole toilet paper! That’s 65% more toilet paper per toilet paper!

[–] LouNeko@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Food so spicy, they give you a roll of bandages as toilet paper. Patch yourself up.

Well, first aid for an arterial bleeding is to "stuff a finger in the hole and get the person to lay down on the floor". I suppose that could still be relevant here.. If you have a cock ring I guess you could apply it as a tourniquet

ZE MEDIC IS HIYAAR!

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I used to buy rolls where the center of the tube came as a little personal roll you could put in your purse. I can't remember which brand anymore.

[–] UselesslyBrisk@infosec.pub 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I dont think i saw any TP in VN. Everything was bidet and wash hands.

wasnt terrible. Cold showers constantly and no water pressure were by far more of a culture shock to me. It was more similar to when I would go and hike for weeks on end in college.

[–] mlg@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah when they say 10 min max limit, they really mean it.

And even then you see people taking showers as fast as 5 minutes to save water stored in the tank.

[–] ngwoo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Do they use rainwater collection tanks for showers or is it just a buffer tank on the roof to compensate for low pressure?

[–] UselesslyBrisk@infosec.pub 1 points 2 years ago

From what i saw they seemed to be pressure/heat tanks (they were mostly silver or dark and in full sun).

Looked like most places had their own personal water tower.

Shitposting is being taken a little too literally lately

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

In China it comes stacked in bags and you pull it out sheet by sheet like paper hand towels or a box of tissues. You can hang the bag up.

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 years ago

Fascinating
