My butt has to have Cottonelle Aloe & E (green package) toilet paper.
Just out of curiosity i looked on ebay for it. 0 toilet paper. Tons of listings for flushable wipes.
Toilet paper: Not allowed.
Stuff you wipe your butt with: Allowed.
Why would one be allowed to be sold and the other not allowed to be sold?
Does that make sense?

Dear wifey insists on Charmin Ultra Soft for her fine hiney. To make sure she has an adequate supply, I have been relegated to using newspaper. Yuck!!

Towels and wash clothes are so much easier.

Those "flushable" wipes really aren't... they will mess up a septic system and they clog the daylights out of your regular plumbing... and how you gonna get a plumber to come in and fix the mess with the virus everywhere???
Brother learned this the hard way... and is STILL mad about that plumber bill.

Maybe the sellers of the wipes are not engaging in price gouging? Or they are engaging in price gouging and eBay just hasn't taken action yet? I really have no idea, just taking guesses.
In any event, I hope your butt is healthy and happy 😆

It might be because most people wipe their butts with t.p. and not baby wipes. I've been using baby wipes for years and they're cheap
at the dollar store.
Even if their flushable wipes, they could cause a big problem. Adee Do and Mike Diamond plumbing recommend anyone not flush wipes down the toilet.

I loved flushable wipes until they clogged our sewage pipes.
Which is how I learned that my garden gate was too narrow to allow a bobcat through.

I pretty much don't give a oops what brand I use, but the wife needs the ultra soft.
We were well stocked in my don't care, and her ultra when the buy/hoard/gouge struck, so have not made a purchase, and will be squeaky clean until the panic recedes.

Buyer can always buy the single ply Scott that one seller has.
Sold 21 packages of 6 for $42.95(today) with a note for the haters stating that it was in possession before this started as the supply for the year. just letting it go to help those in need.

Too much sewer cloggage with those flushable things - I don't even know why they make them but there must be a reason. If they're biodegradable I can see using them for camping - I like the scratchy TP but I draw the line at leaves.

That looks like a really bad day, but a nice porch chair.

When people used outhouses, decades, and decades ago.. people used old catalog papers as wipes.
And then... in some countries... the right hand was for eating ... and the left hand was keeping the rear end clean...
and then ...
If you were a bad person... they cut off your left hand.....and the bad people ... criminals ...were "labelled".

Go vegan. You'll only need to wipe sometimes.
I'm only half joking. This is 100% true.
