Obviously, I voted for the last choice, cats are washable and reusable. I have also discovered, that if you feed them once in a while, they'll last for years!

I would use it only if I could actually see little bits of ground up tree huggers in it.

Toilet paper is toilet paper. As long as there is usuable TP, I am happy.

I think a lot of t.p. is already from recycled paper, and I'm not sure there is any way to tell if it is or not. I certainly don't read the fine print on the labels to find out. It's a buttwipe, after all. My only concern would be if it were actually reused toilet paper recycled after wiping someone else's butt--that would put me off. If it's just recycled newsprint, I don't care.

I've been using Seventh Generation recycled TP for a while now, and it's not that bad. If you buy it in bulk, it's cheaper (found it on Amazon). It's not as soft as the regular stuff, but it's definitely not "like concrete."

My butt doesn't need the softest thing on the market. It's a very minor sacrifice anyone can make to help the environment.

I think I'd use it if it wasn't too thin...or extemely discolored.

I'm here to prove that girls poop.

I think the unbleached coffee filters I have been using lately are actually recycled toilet paper.
That would account for the taste of my morning java lately.

Well, I'd be willing to try it. Of course, I use Cottonelle faithfully. Not necessarily for the cloud-soft euphoria on my bum, but rather for the cute little puppy on the package!! Reminds me of my dog following the family into the bathroom...

Assaulting toilets since 1977!

If the store I'm shopping in is a hippie shop then I'll buy the eco-stuff. It's nice to imagine that buying butt paper labeled as eco-friendly is good for the environment, but can it really make that much of a difference?
Say as compared to the amount of paper saved by using bidets, the Muslim method or the Bilgepump wiping system.

I don't use it simply because I have not found an environmentally friendly toilet paper that is ECONOMICALLY friendly. They are expensive, and the roll (i.e. Seventh Generation) doesn't last very long. I always end up buying twice as much TP as I would with a regular roll of Scott, which can last me up to 29 days WITH million wipers. In our current 1930's type economy, when I live two hours from the nearest grocery store, I simply can't afford to buy a pack of TP every four days.

As for conserving the TP I do have, I simply use less of it. (Unless I have a million wiper, then all bets are off.) I've found the same job can be done without turning my hand into a TP beehive, and I rarely have skidmarks. (Stupid million wipers and water conservation!)

The current state of recycled TP reminds me of the conundrum with fluorescent light bulbs. Yes, you are saving electricity and not polluting the air. However, the mercury contained in the bulbs ends up in landfills, and eventually our water table. We'll have sparkling clean air, but everyone will have died of thirst before we can enjoy it.

Same principle with the TP. And geothermal power. And... Well, there are a lot of recent "environmentally friendly" things that aren't so once you actually look at them closely.

Bilgepump.....i finally got the nerve to use kitty as a ass wip.........Did not go well.....the poop that i took was very stinky and as i lifted kitty to my ass she started hissing but i proceed. Upon making contact with melted hershey hole, she bared the claws and starting scatching. She got two quick swipes at my poor pucker before i droped her into the mess that was yesterdays big burrito. To sum it up, i was left with a bloody poop shut and a shit coverd cat to clean up...oh and she jumped out of the toilet and into the bedroom leaving shit all over the place.

cat wiping is not for amatuers, I give explicit instructions in another thread, but I forget where.

I'm tempted to wipe my ass with one of our cats. That little fucker craps all over the house. We've started calling him the "crap weasel".

But as for real TP... we buy the recycled stuff most of the time.

I'd like to hear from the bidet users. Do y'all still use TP after the gentle cleansing waters have rinsed your bum?

Rock-n-roll! Poopy-poo!

Shitwit, if they were true recyclers they would recycle the bidet water.

update: Took my first shit after my kitty wiping ordeal...hurt like a bitch!!!!! Anyway i think kitty is still pissed off i found a couple turds in the plants, and she wont come by me. Bilge i did not see your warning. Next time i try this technique im goint to use a kitten,,so i can train it

Uh water. Toilet paper of any quality doesn't clean it just removes the bulk of the mess.
I have a hose in my tub and after a poop I use it to clean. I use about 4 rolls of paper a month!! Most of that is used by visitors.

In response to shitwit's query..
"I'd like to hear from the bidet users. Do y'all still use TP after the gentle cleansing waters have rinsed your bum?"

I don't have a bidet yet but after the hose I use a soft towel to gently pat my bum dry.

Double Flush, is that you?

All right, I'd just like to get the terminology straight here. There are two possibilities: (a) Recycled PAPER used as toilet paper (e.g., from newsprint, etc., whatever goes through the mill a second time from other uses); or (b) Recycled TOILET PAPER that has actually wiped bottoms after b.m.'s and has somehow gotten to a factory to be remade into toilet paper for the second time. So which is it--(a) or (b)? I have assumed (a), but I think some commentors are assuming (b). If it is actually (b), I would like to know, first, how these companies get hold of the used buttwipes (mine goes to the septic tank); and, second, what the process is to recycle it. Unless I kow that, I would not use recycled toilet paper that was already used as toilet paper before being recycled.

As far as I know, the "recycled" TP being used here is from ground up newsprint and stuff. They only use column b in San Diego.

MSG, the process of making tp involves boiling and bleach (except for unbleached). This process would kill bacteria even if they were using dirty tp. As far as I know, no one is harvesting the used tp either from septic tanks or the sewage plants. We use mostly newsprint and mix it with wood pulp from both trees and sawmill byproducts.

Have you ever used that Patch Master Stuff on your lawn? It is basicly hydroseed in a bag. The paper mulch I have heard is made from recycled paper. If they could put that mulch in a sheet on a roll, then that would be a very soft. That would be nice if that could be done.

We obviously could make more recycled products out of our newsprint because a good amount is shipped to Japan. They need the stuff and we need to get the empty containers back to pick up more of their export crap. Its all about $$$

I'll use it as long as there aren't any wood splinters in it.

PD, the news is recycled no matter what it's printed on. They basically have a huge pot in which several headlines are stashed. When the real news gets slow, reporters simply stir the pot and randomly pull out about five headlines. Just add a few names in the blank spaces, switch a few dates around, and voila! A space is filled!

I love recyled toilet paper, it is hard, but still sanitary. i like to keep my cheecks clean, even if they rash over...

P.S. DO NOT USE COTTONELLE- NEW STUDY SHOWS THAT IT IS TESTED ON HUMANS! hahaha.jk.

i think anyone who doesn't use recycled TP is completely lame. but no matter what TP you use, it won't get you completely clean. a shower or evil butt-wipes are the only way. after all, would you feel like your foot was clean if you stepped in dog shit & then just wiped it off with some TP? probably not.

maybe having a messy butt is ok if you're a hermit and have no desire to get laid ever...
