Toilet Paper and Wipes

[Childminder]

We have a septic, as apposed to a sewer, and we only use one layer tissue Scott to be exact. None of the Northern, Charmin, double quilted layer stuff that clogs toilets and no wipes are allowed in my bathroom. The guy that pumps our septic is amazed that we don't have issues having a day care here, he sees all kind of problem s because of non composing products.

They should make toilet paper similar to this... http://lifehacker.com/5864555/remove...box-of-tissues

It seems like if they made them like a tissue, the kids would use less. But then maybe it'd be more fun?:confused:

Off topic, but you can do this with a paper towel roll also. Great for outdoor picnics and camping. Leave the roll in the plastic bag and punch a hole in the top. Remove the cardboard, and you have an automatic paper towel dispenser!! The towels won't come unrolled and get dirty when they inevitably fall on the ground and unravel as they roll 10 feet away!!! Smash the roll a little bit to fold the cardboard, making it a bit easier to remove it.

Though I have read flushable wipes will clog a sewer.

they will... our town posted a facebook status calling out certain neighborhoods for clogging the sewers with them and telling them to stop flushing them. .


When I have had a dck that was excessive with tp, I have just given them their allotted amount and put the rest up so they don't have access to it.

I buy the smaller rolls of single ply toilet paper for daycare. It stops them from using a ton since it's not so soft.

I do the same. I also have the wet wipes up higher and they need to ask for those. That way they only get one.
