Thoughts On Saving Toilet Paper
The price of TP has risen 10% in the last year, and it will not doubt rise more. I'm thinking about how to stay ahead of the (price) curve by developing a new way to wipe myself. Here are my thoughts:

1) Buy a bunch of of white washcloths

2) Have 2 containers and 1 stack of washcloths by my toilet.

2a) The stack of washcloths is to dry myself with, one at a time, of course.

2b) The first container will have a solution of water with a little moisturizer and soap in it. It will also have a stack of white washcloths soaking in it so I can wipe my poopy arse clean. I can then dry it with a dry, clean cloth from 2a.

2c) The third container will have a solution of water with a little bit of bleach in it. That's where my cloths from 2a and 2b will go, to soak, until I'm ready to dump them in the washer.

Is this a good plan? Does anyone see immediate drawbacks? Do you think it will be cost efficient?

Re: Thoughts On Saving Toilet Paper
It might work okay for peeing (if you're a woman), but I'd be worried about the smell and possible germs from the poop-stained washcloths.

Some women use fabric pads during that time of the month, and use this method. They rinse the pads out first, then soak them in bleach water until they're washed in the laundry. Supposedly it works, and without any odors.

Maybe the poop-stained washcloths could be rinsed first?

I'm female, and if I was going to do this, I'd just use toilet paper after I poop, and use washcloths after I pee. That would still save a lot on toilet paper, because people normally pee more often than they poop. And it wouldn't be as nasty to deal with.

Re: Thoughts On Saving Toilet Paper
I thought about that, but that is my LAST resort.

1- have the hot water bottle with tubing set up to bidet first. Much more sanitary
2- you can make toilet paper from autumn dried leaves. Soak them to be mushy, with a rolling pin, roll it thin onto some towels and let dry, cut into sheets to use
3- another thought would be to have your cloths in a mild soapy water solution before using, then into the diaper pail after use. Easier to wash afterwards

Use fewer squares. You can get by with less.
Don't go with the wash rags. Save that for when our civilization ends and we have no other choice, and then you won't hate yourself for not having enjoyed one of the major benefits of civilization while you could

That's why I would let them soak in water with bleach in it. But thanks for your comments.

No immediate draw backs. Your washing machine will use more water cleaning the towels then you will cleaning your own body however.

Dyes aren't healthy, and as a woman with a lot of supersensitive areas that can absorb dyes, I would feel more comfortable with white.

Also, you can tell when a white washcloth is clean more easily than any other color.

Immediately after crapping; go into the living room, lay on your back and call the dog! You may get lucky and along with the free cleaning you'll get a happy ending!

Perhaps, but I'm thinking about overall cost. If I save enough cloths to make a decent load, it might be more cost efficient than TP.

Good point! I wouldn't need a whole washcloth. .25 the size of a regular washcloth should suffice for most things, but the edges would have to be bound so it doesn't unravel in the washer. But I could wash more in the washing machine at once.

You're a natural economist.

I'm wondering how efficient those things are? After a really messy discharge, wouldn't it use a lot of water?

True. TP is just so easy, so that's why we pay for it. If saving money is your game then you should try making your own soap. Its not to hard.
