No the true evolution to TP "Wide Load TP" 8x8 inch sheets. Just awesome!

[@rolfathan]

Bidets are so expensive upfront, but boy howdy are they CHEAP compared to buyign so much TP.

[@Learn_Something_New]

Too true. Don't have a bidet personally, but I know people that do. They also must have been nice during the toilet paper shortages

How do you use the sea-shells?

[@SageKasuto]

Well done, tackling a taboo subject! But something we are all acquainted with.

I believe that wealthy Americans were hiring Mexicans to clean them using their tongues back in the 1800's but the practice was ruled illegal and largely abandoned in the 1970's

Commenting for the algorithm. Thank you for answering a question that I always had.

My first time to watch a video from this channel. Just want to leave some positive reinforcement... Videos I hate: 1) Ones where the narrator speaks in silly voices, or in the early 20th century style “announcer” voices; 2) Ones where the narrator thinks it’s better to show themselves rather than an interesting video clip or image; 3) Ones where the narrator talks too fast, or doesn’t know (or research) how to properly pronounce the place or people or item names mentioned in their videos. I’m happy to say, your video fell into none of those traps. I have subscribed to your channel and am looking forward to watching more of your videos.

[@seldian]

honestly its just something ppl dont think about

On the future we'll be using three seashells.

Hey Bro, I'm thinking the title that might work better is, "What Was Used Before Toilet Paper". Your title needs to be what people are typing in as their search term. While I love this title (cleverly humorous), I know that no one is typing this in as a search term. Having said that, I love your content, and I'm a new subscriber. Keep it up, and I'll keep watching!

[@Learn_Something_New]

I'll try out the title. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@ReflectorExe]

Definetly got here because of the title search lol ! I work in a toilet paper , paper towels and facial tissues warehouse and got curious. Lol. Also no wonder the Romans had so many health problems omfg.

[@astrazenica7783]

Bidet + paper is the ultimate imho

[@jlljjl]

[@cornellwaters8969]

This sounds like it came directly from the The History Guy done 3 years ago.

[@rowanhaygood4009]

Honestly I have no idea why but I feel honestly literally like scared of old toilet paper. Specifically the one on a stick. Like honestly I'm kind of creeped out and I'm kind of scared. Like I'm literally shaking because of a stupid sponge on a stick.

[@hana-ov1ju]

Correction regarding the Roman Xylospongium aka "sponge on a stick": It was used as a toilet brush and the "personal cleaning" happened with water flowing from a trickle flowing along the public bathroom. And remains of clothes etc were also found. Even more convincing than the sheer conception of the highly cultured and advanced Romans passing diseases by sharing a "popo stick" is also the fact that in some of these public bathrooms wall writings reminding the attendants to use the Xylospongium are existent. And it makes a lot more sense that you need to remind people of using a toilet brush rather than reminding them to wipe themselves.
