Dental floss with soft toilet paper around it, wrapped like rope around a spool. Easier to manipulate for "inside jobs" when you aren't keen on getting down 'n dirty. Probably not flushable unless made without floss. Comes with handle for no-touch operation.
Or a reusable stick that can be covered in a TP sock...-- polartomato, Aug 11 2002 HalfBaked- Butt Floss! http://www.fallsoff...falls/buttfloss.htmAwww dammit, someone has somewhat more eloquently proposed the very same thing... [polartomato, Aug 14 2002, last modified Oct 21 2004] What, you don't use the rope on your hanging shower soap?-- FarmerJohn, Aug 11 2002 I am not going to dignify this idea with a response.
Oh well, croissant.-- BinaryCookies, Aug 11 2002 Sigh. O MFD, where art thou? There is probably no dignifying this idea- but as a public service I have posted it anyway. I know it sounds gross, but I really think there could be a very large, discreet market out there for this product. It might be a little embarrassing to buy at the checkout counter... but I think this could really revolutionize ass-wiping as we know it. I would appreciate this at those times when you cannot wash your hands after using the restroom. If I could only pry my tongue from my cheek... anybody ready to post an idea for a tongue crowbar?
Btw- UB, g-strings are clothing, not a hygienic device, despite their flassy appearance. They are the washable version of flass, perhaps?
As for sope on a roap, I don't use it. I will keep that annotation in mind the next time I pick up a soap on a roap.-- polartomato, Aug 12 2002 polartomato: "If only I could pry my tongue from my cheek" - H*** M*** M***** of G** - I hope you weren't that desperate to wipe your backside...-- DrCurry, Aug 12 2002 Oh, ugh, yuk .... I think a new HalfBakery category is needed: "Juvenile Obsession: Toilet", then all the stuff like this and Bathroom Slippers and suchlike can be dumped in it.
Oh, and a stinky fishbone ..... just flush it ...-- 8th of 7, Aug 12 2002 Blissmiss: But you're paranoid about people peeking at your feet under the partitions in case they identify you as the source of a sound and/or smell ? Yeah, right ...
UnaBubba: " I think of G-strings as *un*hygienic devices. " Well, I think of them as components of musical instruments, actually. What's so unhygenic about that ? Can you get diseases from sharing Cellos now ?-- 8th of 7, Aug 12 2002 +1 on the strength of the name and two-word summary alone. This just cracks me up.-- iuvare, Aug 12 2002 Ewww icky pun iuvare-- Helium, Aug 12 2002 Geez. This really is a serious idea. We've gotta have something more technically advanced than a mis-directed drinking fountain or a roll of paper.
Also, DrCurry, I didn't really think about the 'cheek' pun for some reason....
Hee hee... "cracks" me up...
Blissmiss: this is a dead serious idea. Toilet paper is so... pedestrian. Hemhorroid cream is icky, but necessary. And we must all be subjected to overly-descriptive ads for feminine moisturizers on TV.-- polartomato, Aug 12 2002 Corn cobs.-- pottedstu, Aug 14 2002 Shake with the right, wipe with the left.-- zigness, Mar 04 2004 // a reusable stick //
That's baked. In communal toilets like they had in ye olde days, they used this - apparently, it's where the phrase "getting the wrong end of the stick" originates...-- saker, Mar 05 2004 Could we have automated flassing machines that worked the flass back and forth for us? Would this maybe be something you only saw in Europe?-- egads, Mar 05 2004 random, halfbakery
