toilet paper, is this the best we can do?

Razors with five blades. Breath strips. High endurance deodorant. All things “improved” upon products that got the job done. One critical hygeine area remains neglected and it is a fundamental one in America. My question is with all the innovation you see in this sector surely someone can market something that is much more effective than plain old toilet paper. The person who comes up with something more effective would have a very profitable idea. Would love to hear some of your ideas and maybe we can put them to work and make millions. MILLIONS!

I was thinking about the question you proposed of how we can improve toliet paper. I don’t know if this is what you are looking for but I’ve come up with an idea. I think that you could create a training toliet paper for little kids. Think about it if adults could stop wiping their kids butt a year or so before they get to stop now you would make millions. Here’s how the toliet paper works. It would be shaped like a mitten so that none of the yucky stuff gets on their hands. It should be moist because they still have sensitive bottoms and to make sure they get it all and I think that it should have a picture of a villian on it. For example Spiders Man’s enemy. I hope this helps inspire more creative thought about how you can improve on plain old toliet paper.

I have to say I agree with your position. It seems rediculous that in the 21st century, we are still using such an archaic system for restroom hygiene.
Think about it. Toilet paper exists for the purpose of cleaning one specific substance from your body. Now, if that substance was on your hands, would simply wiping it off with a piece of dry paper be sufficient for you to feel as if you are clean? I think not. So why is it sufficient for other parts of the body? It seems strange to me.
It kind of makes me wonder. What were the shells for in Demolition Man, and is it about time that we begin to use them?

Mary Sue thank you for your suggestion. My question for you is what exactly is the good stuff and what makes it good? Mr. Holcomb your idea has the makings of a tp revolution. The moist mitten…it’s got potential and who wouldn’t want to smear excrement all over the Green Goblin? I’m not a toddler but I think I might be interested in this product as well. Definitely right on track with this one my friend.
And Aaron you described the this problem as one with authority on the issue. And you know I have never seen Demolition Man but perhaps I should rent and explore the idea of testing out that idea personally. That was something I was thinking about today. The only way to know if an idea truly works is to test it. I’m willing to try it and see if we have a winner. So Mary tell me exactly what the best stuff is, the status quo if you will, this will be the standard to which all other ideas will be compared. Joe if you make a crude prototype I’ll test it. And Aaron if you can get some of those shells fed-ex them to me and we’ll see how they perform. Just keep in mind the cost will have to remain low on these products so that will have to be a constraint to work around. Keep these ideas coming people….millions I tell you!

Bryan,
I believe you have now successfully sterotyped the mid-western region of the US. Congrats.
Also, Lon…I tried a biget once & let’s just say, I didn’t get the hang of it.

Well they do now have flushable wipes but I have heard that some companies are actually trying to make moist tp on a roll. That would be a pretty sweet invention if you ask me.

I was thinking that if everyday we took some kind of vitamin or mineral that while we ate through out the day and our bodys began to digest this pill with our food, so when we went to defacate (poop) instead of leaving wet, clumpy skid marks in our rectum, the pill would actaully evaporate it, leaving us a hand free touch free more relaxing bowel movement.
