Question

Will I get into trouble if I do this?

Community Answer

That really depends on your parents. There's no reason you'd get in trouble with anyone else. You're not really doing anything wrong, it's just pointless if you have access to toilet paper. This is meant to be used in emergencies when you don't have toilet paper.

Question

What if you don't have access to a cloth or things like that?

Community Answer

You could use a leaf if you are outside, or if worst comes to worst, use a piece of clothing.

Question

What if I don't know that there is no toilet paper?

Community Answer

Tissues in your bag are an essential. Always keep a packet of tissues in your handbag or bag wherever you go. You never know when there might not be any toilet paper! If it is at the toilets in the mall, or the girls/boys toilets at school, and you don't carry any tissues on you, call out for someone washing their hands or something and tell them you need some toilet paper. Or you could say you need some paper towels because your nose has just started bleeding (even if it hasn't). If they are nice, they will help you out.

Community Answer

They can work in a pinch, but try to avoid it when possible. They could irritate the area.

Disinfectant cleaning wipes are not to be used on your skin due to the strong chemicals they contain.

I can't use a shirt, cloth or regular tissue, and I'm inside. What do I do?

Community Answer

Use paper towels and put them in the trash. Gather leaves from outside - but be careful which leaves you choose.

Question

I'm grounded for using my dad's shirt as toilet paper, help?

Community Answer

Perhaps buy him a new shirt, or make an apology gift to show him you're sorry for your actions. Sometimes, a sincere apology is not enough, and this sort of crosses the line of normal behavior.

Question

What if have pooped in my pants?

Community Answer

Depending on the severity of the stains or smell, you may need to through the clothing away or wash them especially carefully, by themselves. If this doesn't work, ask to see the nurse if you're at school or go home and get changed if you're socializing or working.
