Growing up we had no fresh wipes at home. I go through them by the dozen now.
How did we wipe ourselves after a bm? Confused

I literally have no clue.

What is something you used to do that makes you scratch your head in wonder? Scratching Head

Can't think of anything in particular. I just gotta say that while I appreciate that using wipes maybe a little pleasanter, I find it somewhat wasteful to use them regularly. I have a feeling that I'll be skewered for admitting that we only use regular TP, but we seem to manage just fine. I know this for a fact because I'm the one who does the laundry. In any case, we all shower daily TMI

They go into the garbage can that's in every toilet. And then gets emptied out.

Same, only regular TP for us. Is it really so common for adults to use wipes instead? I had no idea.

We also only use TP!

To change the subject...I took forever to make food for shabbos when newly married. I cooked a bit every day and still ended up with dirty dishes in the sink when shabbos came in. Now I leave everything until Friday, with bH a nice sized family, and dishes are always done in time! I just don't get what was keeping me so busy!

I wore so much makeup when I was in my early 20s. I guess it was the style. But I cringe when I look at pictures from that time.

Writing mushy notes on my tests to my teacher in Highschool. TMI

And to think that the principal read them all.

I did that for a particular male teacher...a frum, married man. Don't think I'll ever live it down.

Sorry gross to leave it in the bathroom even a minute. I am with the tp crowd. Wipes in this house are used for babies diaper cleaning. I never heard of adults using them.

I agree! We have sinks in every bathroom,we can always wet the toilet paper a bit if need be. Then it's gone, down the toilet.

Sorry if this is derailing . But as a person who BH has a few guest rooms and hosts other people’s guests regularly- I am literally begging you do NOT use these wipes in other peoples houses. Even the ones that are QUOTE flushable. I had a terrible sewage backup on a Yom Tov that smelled up the entire house , and costs huge amounts of damage- I had to clean up ankle deep sh**y water that seeped out of the bathroom down the hallway toward the bedrooms , we had to pay lots of money for the sewage specialist ,we had to rip out the toilet and the sink and re-Sheetrock all the walls in the bathroom and adjacent room and it costs a huge amount of money and was a stinky nauseating mess . If you choose to use the wipes in your own home that your decision , I’m literally begging you not to use at other peoples homes.

Did you just read what the amother above you wrote?

Not the best idea but you do you in YOUR house.

Also, I am never in need of more than tp! What get's so messy?

Same. Honestly, people need to check themselves out, Wipes should not be of need for healthy BM

On topic- waterfall bangs, complete with a generous dose of Aquanet. Followed soon enough after by a bump or poof, depending who you were talking to. It took me ages to learn how to do both well, and to train my hair to listen.

I can turn the tables and say gross about what you're doing.
But I won't waste my time.
