Anyone tried Wype (alternative to wet wipes)?

BlueBelle

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 ?

I never feel clean after using just dry toilet paper so use wet wipes to finish off and put them in the old type nappy bin I used for our grandchildren when they were babies.

If you’ve ever had to wipe bird poo off you with a dry tissue you’ll know all that does is simply smear it around and only wiping it with something wet will remove it.

I have IBS and fell over myself to buy a couple of bottles as soon as I saw it on Dragon's Den.

Without wishing to go into TMI, poo can vary in consistency - sometimes it is more difficult to get ‘clean’. I changed to Wype for occasional use, in preference to toilet wipes, as the latter tend to dry out if kept too long. I find Wype easy to use and I imagine the bottle I have will last for a long time.

I looked at the link toiletgran but can't work out how to use it or where. Do you spray foam somewhere? Your butt? whatever that is

I still maintain that a wet/damp flannel, washed in hot water after use is perfectly adequate if toilet paper doesn't work for you.

I bought a set of soft bamboo flannels off the internet.

Yours aye,

LucyAnna done/ had all of those, love camping and had years of UTIs and three children but never felt the need to use a wet wipe… what’s wrong with loo paper or flannels

andrex do flushable toilet wipes, they are damp paper.

other makes are available, damp and ready to use paper wipes... tear and flush.!

I confess to using Wypes and quite like them. Yes, you use more loopaper - clean, Wype, dry - but not all that much and they're deff better than wetwipes which DO clog up the sewers.

Dickens - or maybe I need to travel social media more?

Lucky you, never had frequent UTIs, post delivery tears, etc? Or never been wild camping!

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?

Well my spaghetti friend - the equivalent to the "OK Boomer" retort is, "you need to get out more" 😁😁.

The first time it was said to me (on social media) - I'd just returned from a month-long stay in South Africa... via Sweden and Denmark!

Thank you Callistemon !

For any who say “oh I know I shouldn’t (but do) might I respectfully suggest they put their money where their mouth is?

I'm a bit puzzled, too.

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!

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.

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 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.

Don't put wipes down the loo! 😲

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

If you appreciate their use is bad, why use them?

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

Bag and bin wet wipes is easy to do!

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.

Won't it go off Sago?

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