For 22 years I used toilet paper until I traveled to South East Asia where every toilet has a seperate sprinkler. After a few toilet visits I decided to give it a GO. Man, toilet paper feels strange and plain stupid now. Water is way cheaper, doesn't hurt your "behind" and I feel cleaner afterwards. Paper seems an invention to sell something we really don't need (by Mad Men :-)).

I'd be afraid of the sprinkler collecting fecal and other matter, and am not too eager to nebulize that onto my behind.

Not everyone has messy shit. I often have literally nothing on the toilet paper. Increase your vegetables, and fiber.

depends on how furry your butt is. I have the south asian furry butt curse.

Plumbing wasn't designed for them in most places. Most of them are not really "flushable" like they claim.

That's because people use "face wipes" instead of "wet wipes" meant to be used for the bum.

How do you get them from the stall to the trash?

you bundle it like a paper basketball and shoot it from the stall.
