What Women flush down the Toilet

    Fatbergs, you name it they'll flush it down..,..

    Dishwasher is another thing that many of them believe is magic and can make solid foods disappear such as pans full of pasta, mince, veg, potatoes etc etc.....


    I had to unblock the in-laws sewer many many times and found the mother in-law was flushing plastic bags, sweet rappers, kitchen towel etc....

    It took a good 6 months of stating these are causing the blockages....

    Wet wipes is a major issue as there are only around 2 makes that are actually biodegradable and the rest contain plastic and won't break down.

    Exactly. I'd love one. Always use one when abroad. Come out of the jax with a smile on my face.
    Put it like this, if you ate a big sticky chocolate cake, and you had chocolate all over you lips and cheeks, would you wash it off or wipe it off?

    Sounds good, L. But I’ve always been a little “concerned” about bidets.

    I’ve no issue with the “cleaning” part but what do you do after the fact? I mean, you’re fairly soaked so is there a communal “arse towel” on a little hook like you would a hand towel?

    I’ve heard people say they use toilet paper but, to me, that sounds a little “counter intuitive” as you’d need another “spritz” to get rid of all the little bits of paper. It’s a bit of a minefield, to be honest.

    I’ll await your response before I lean over the side of the bath and use the shower hose as a “poor man’s bidet”.

    I agree, it just looks like a mess tbh. Another poster talked about washing your face if youd eaten chocolate cake rather than wiping and that makes sense but honestly again Id avoid it because youve water dripping down your arms and making your sleevs wet . A wet wipe seems like a good compromise between the two

    Wet wipes are extremely bad for, not only, the environment but also the pipes.

    Even the “flushable” brands are bad.

    A bidet with a warm air bum dryer must be the solution. If they do not exist damn I have just told you all my million dollar making idea :(

    You could just bring in the hairdryer attached to an extension cable.

    That is a Japanese toilet. Visiting Japan was like jumping into the future. Even the public toilets have this. And they're clean too.

    A fellow I work with has a neighbour who's too mean to get his rubbish collected so flushes everything he can't burn down the jacks.The council are called a few times a month to unblock the estate sewer lines.
    The hungry bastard even flushes chicken carcasses down.Everyone in his estate knows it's him but how do you prove it?
    Fcukin incredible.

    So what I do when I'm using a proper bidet is that I take some toilet paper and pat it dry, works pretty well and without fuzzy bits everywhere given you use decent enough paper that doesn't rip when you look at it. Others use towels, in some households everyone has their own and it's going on the wash at the end of the day.
    My mother lives on the canaries away from tourist destinations and people are urged to not flush paper, it's norm for locals to bin it. So a bidet makes sense because you can wash yourself, you're cleaner and you don't need a lot of paper.

    Another option is a bidet attachment, they're quite cheap and like a little showerhead right at your toilet. They work with water pressure though, so if your water pressure isn't great they might not work properly in the upstairs toilet.

    Most of the toilets. Plenty of squat style shîtters still to be found in Japan.

    A hotel I stayed in in miami had a toilet with this built in. The dryer part was weird and just slightly burnt your arse to be honest. Sitting on a nicely warmed toilet seat everytime was nice though, plus it opens and closes automatically. I'm thinking of getting one :D

    Also, I would say that most women know not to flush tampons and certainly not pads and so dont do it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,990 ✭✭✭✭Giblet


    I can confirm there is a dedicated arse towel per family member.

    Wipe it off with a napkin, like any sane person.

    It's not just women who flush things down the toilet. I shared a house with two guys and out drains blocked and the trap was full of hundreds of disposable contact lens cases and J-Cloths.

    One of the lads just used the toilet as the bathroom bin. Cleaned the sink and washed around when he was tidying the bathroom and then flushed the cloth and was just putting in his contacts and flushing the packaging.

    It wasn't too hard to identify the culprit from the glasses prescription!!

    I dunno G, you’ve far more control over the food going into your mouth than you have any control over when it’s coming out the other end :pac:

    I guess it’s just more convenient to use what’s there, so a napkin it is, or toilet tissue, as the case may be. Lir does make a bidet sound practical though because never having used one I didn’t think of things like everyone having their own separate towel and stuff like that.

    I remember once alright I went to Corfu on holidays, and we were told by the rep not to flush toilet paper down the toilet. I honestly for the life of me can’t remember what I did. I think I might have employed Emmets shower head technique, because the bath was a tiny thing you were supposed to sit in, I remember that much. But I think what just made everything worse was I bought a dodgy melon off one of the beach sellers, and by jesus was I left raw after it, excruciating, and I must have used a ton of paper that whole week, still no memory of what I did with it, which is probably for the best :o

    Well a lot women do flush stuff they should't down the toilet.

    A lot of men flush condoms down too. Incredibly.

    The thread is about flushing tampons down a toilet which anyone with half a brain would know shouldn't be done, maybe you should have copped that before rushing in trying to be a white knight defending the ladies when there is no need.

    Need harsher fines when it comes to littering. Getting well out of hand with douchebags throwing their rubbish along the sides of country roads and in ditches.
