According to experts, washable and reusable toilet paper provides a cost-effective and eco-friendly way to clean yourself, without creating waste or spending a mini fortune over time. But, probably unsurprisingly, the idea has repulsed some shoppers.
Posting on Facebook, Donna Yates said: "Not for me, don't care how much money I'd save", while Angie Pitt said: "No way!!!! I’m trying to cut down on the amount of times I wash a week not increase it!"
James Ridley said: "I'd rather use a dock leaf than that, what a minging idea" [sic], while Atlanta Ally said: "Or just use water like the rest of the world. Toilet roll is so unhygienic and you are never properly cleaned."
