Anyone tried Wype (alternative to wet wipes)?

Won't it go off Sago?

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

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.

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.

Maybe the old fashioned bidets could make a comeback
Old fashioned though they may be, I do appreciate mine!

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.

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

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.

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.

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 think this company were on Dragons Den? I keep seeing ads for Wype everywhere and wondered about buying it. I think it’s only available online?
