Cottonelle Flushable Moist Wipes
I was at a BBQ party this weekend where the star attraction was a remote-control Toto Washlet toilet. These luxury lavs have been popular in Japan for years, the global nexus of etiquette, hygiene and gadgetry. But I’m pretty sure the one I test-sat on Saturday is the only one on Fire Island. One by one, the BBQ guests retired downstairs for a few minutes, and as they returned, the conversation turned potty. I’ll try to be delicate about this. I’m a hairy guy. And lets just say that I appreciate the kind of clean that can’t be achieved with toilet paper alone. But I’ve found a much better solution than the Washlet, or so-last-century bidet. They’re Cottonelle Flushable Most Wipes. Specifically designed for the task, they’re safe to flush (sewer and septic-safe, unlike baby-wipes), pre-moistened with aloe and vitamin E, not heavily scented (like the Charmin version), and available in tubs, re-closable refills and re-sealable travel packs. Find them in the toilet paper aisle, or buy them from drugstore.com.
They’re good for cleanup of other “hard to get out of your hair and off your skin substances that toilet paper just doesn’t get out” also.

Just count yourself lucky that you don’t have to deal with it.
