Anyone tried Wype (alternative to wet wipes)?

I’ve just looked it up, as I’d never heard of it. It would appear that you could end up using 3x the amount of paper though, so that could be wasteful and even environmentally unsound?
Apparently you wipe with dry paper, use the product on more paper, then dry using even more paper, should you not like the feeling of being wet.
Maybe the old fashioned bidets could make a comeback.

I have not used this product but definitely think it’s a good idea.
I had campylobacter a few years ago and had to use moist wipes, I was really concerned about clogging the drains plus the environmental damage of using so much paper.

Oh thank the lord some one has come up with an answer to my problem.
I’ve had post wet wipe guilt for years. No more wet arse.

What’s wrong with slightly wetting loo paper and wiping if needed?

We used a wet flannel to wipe babies bums. Was that unhygienic? They were frequently washed. babies and flannel
I have never used wet wipes.

I’ve used it since seeing it mentioned on Gransnet a few months go and the guilty feeling of flushing away wet wipes (even the safe to flush ones). I find it much more comfortable and although it may be more costly (I haven’t needed order more yet), at least paper can be processed satisfactorily. I followed the instructions first time, but find not nearly as much paper is needed.

Old fashioned though they may be, I do appreciate mine!

Yes, it doesn’t seem particularly cheap. I see online you can get some packs with mini versions for using whilst out and about, which might be useful.
I used wet wipes for a while, after suffering from UTIs for an extended period.

I don’t see why you couldn’t make your own.

Here’s a recipe.

Won't it go off Sago?

On another thread I said I hadn't come across the retort "OK Boomer" and now I have to admit I've never come across "Wype"...

I don't know why I don't have any knowledge of these! Where have I been?

I hadn't heard of them but just watched the clip from Dragon's Den. Seems expensive to me. Lots of people use the 'toilet tissue wipes' instead which are very effective, but do come in plastic packaging. They are flushable too!

The recipe states to use distilled/purified water and tea tree has antiseptic properties so it should be fine.

No wipes are flushable.

Try saying they are flushable to the people who have to try to clear “fatbergs” from our sewers and drains.

It’s a myth.
If you must use wet wipes what is the problem with bagging them and putting them in the bin.
Better still, don’t use them.

LucyAnna I had similar problems. The mini pack is the one I bought online, as never seen it in the shops. I also watched the clip from Dragons Den and was initially put off by the price, but I would not go back to safe to flush wipes now.

Bag and bin wet wipes is easy to do!

I bought some but I'm not covered. It's faffy and can disintegrate the toilet paper on contact! Wipes are better I think but do appreciate their use is bad.
Quite like the homemade spray idea, might try that

Don't use kitchen roll for home-made options as it has a high wet tensile strength!

I ve never used wet wipes never bought any, why ? I don’t understand
Whats wrong with toilet paper ?
What do you all use them for ….your bum ? Don’t you use loo rolls ? What a I missing ?

Don't put wipes down the loo! 😲

I posted before I saw your post, RosiesMaw, yes - who would put wet wipes down the lavatory?!

Coming to a sewer near you:

Heard the word fatberg? Not sure what it is?
When cooking fat and oil is washed down the sink, it cools and sets hard clogging your pipes.
Wet wipes take years to break down, so when they're wrongly flushed down the loo they cling to fat.
A build up of fat and wipes (often combined with other items) creates a fatberg, which in turn blocks the flow of the pipe.
Fatbergs can multiply in size in our sewer system and eventually cause blockages and flood your home.

I'm a bit puzzled, too.
