Toilet paper alternatives
Toilet paper shortages are leaving many Americans looking for alternatives. Consider these top choices:
Bidets and bidet attachments. There’s been a surge in the popularity of bidets and bidet attachments since the COVID-19 outbreak, as panic-buying left toilet paper shelves empty. Bidet attachments are easy to install yourself and can be just as effective as toilet paper.
Flushable wipes and baby wipes. If you can find flushable toilet wipes, these can work just as well. Baby wipes are another viable option, but throw them away instead of flushing them.
Reusable toilet paper. Many people have taken to making their own reusable toilet paper out of old T-shirts, socks or rags. Lots of video DIY tutorials have even surfaced online to help get you started.
Other paper products. In a pinch, you can always use things like tissues, napkins and paper towels if they’re available. Just don’t flush these items down the toilet.
