Personal question about cleanliness

MumbaiMom · Jun 10, 2011

Hi Ladies,
Was not sure where to post this. I was out of India couple of years and am now in India since a year. Abroad, I got used to using toilet tissues everytime I went to the bathroom and so panty used to be clean and dry. Here since its a indian type of toilet, everytime I go, my panty gets wet since we cannot use tissues. By the end of the day, its wet, has black stains on the panty and smelly and I hate it and so I change my panties about 2-3 times in a day. And its more harder on the days of periods. I dont want to use panty liners everyday.
Have been wondering how do you manage without using toilet tissues. Any advises on this?
Thanks.

Hi i think even in India you can use toilet papers. If that is more comfortable then you can it in India also. You get toilet tissues in big departmental stores.

hi mickeyminnie, thanks for answering. i forgot to mention that our indian style toilet gets clogged if tissue paper is used.

hello MumbaiMom,
I am not sure if you are having this problem at work? I think all toilets would have a trash can, why dont you just dump it there?

Yes as naanveti said you can use trash bins and dispose them later...
But try for an alternate solution instead of using paper for these kind of activities or pls reduce if you CAN,,,Just suggestion not compulsion

One poster on another thread had this solution: each family member daily had a small cloth with their name on it which they used for drying those regions after washing. She would launder them all daily.
