THE GREATEST NECESSITY OF THE AGE – THE HISTORY OF TOILET PAPER?

Have you ever wondered why it's customary to shake hands with the right hand? Humans have not always enjoyed the luxury of 4 ply cloud soft cushion. The finest man in toilet paper security (Mr Whipple) knows this, and that's exactly why he implored: "PLEASE, DON'T SQUEEZE THE CHARMIN!".

Aside from the left-hand, some of the first tools used for "throne" hygiene, are listed below. Just a submission from the archives of #UselessTrivia that clutters my mind. Someone said "useless trivia" was the hashtag game today. Maybe they were stoned.

Thousands of years ago, Hygiene sticks, known as salaka, cechou and chugi were used. Many were basically a sponge on a stick.
For the longest time, the Sears catalog was a favorite, as well as another publication. Have you ever wondered why the "Farmers Almanac" has a punch-hole in the top corner? This was the reason. The hole was "punched" so the magazine could be hung on a hook in the outhouse. Not kidding. Later, something called Apothecary paper was marketed but, people began to use this invention as stationary because of the quality of the paper. This paved the way for the more modern version of toidy tissue textiles.

Touted as:
"The Greatest Necessity of the Age", in 1857, Joseph Gayetty introduced:

"GAYETTY'S MEDICATED PAPER FOR THE WATER CLOSET"

The image and article below tells the rest. Considering the other options, can you think of any better invention? Given a choice between toilet paper and the internet... my clean behind and I, would miss all of you very much.

Tomorrow is colonoscopy day (the fun of getting older!). So just know that while you're enjoying hanging out and watching the Super Bowl (or Puppy Bowl if that's your thing), while chowing down on wings and beer, my day won't be as fun. I'll be fasting all day and spending the evening (into the night) making the bathroom my new man cave! 🧻🚽

Wish me luck and let the fun begin! 😂

All I'm saying is that Barnes and Noble sprays laxatives in their air supply #hardtruths #bathroomhumor

My great fear is that toilet paper rolls will quietly shrink in width to the point that they will no longer be able to service my fat butt. I am now on a quest to find the widest make and model of roll. So far, the biggest I've found is 4.27".
