So, I'm watching TV and I just see a commercial for moist wipes that you're supposed to se after using the toilet. Kinda like the wipes I use on little monkeyunderpants.
It's like they are trying to convince us that wiping our butts with TP isn't enough anymore and if, god forbid, I go into someone's home and they don't have wipes out for me to use, then they are a bad host.
I will admit that DH used these when he was going through prep for his colonoscopy (anyone that has had one understands why), but otherwise, I'm pretty ok with just TP.
I guess I am ok with commercials trying to get me to WANT something, but don't try to convince me I NEED something like this....
Am I the only one that's annoyed by this commercial?

Yes, it's an annoying commercial - that and the TP one where it hints that kids (ie the Baby Bear in the commercial) should encourage their parents to buy the softer more cushy TP. I'm not against cushy TP - I'm against the whole - kids run the family thing...
There's some cable commerical to that uses kids instead of adults that I find really annoying too.

I will never go back to using just dry toilet paper again. WHY, WHY, WHY did it take so long for this product to get to the market?

Seriously? You guys buy this stuff ? Do you wipe with TP and then use it? Is it flushable? Enquiring minds need to know. You are a marketers dream!!!!

Some people have more sensitive netherregions with more nooks and crannies that toilet paper can't properly clean, at least not without tearing the skin down there.

My typical routine is - wipe with dry TP (3 to 5 sheet average) - wipe with wet wipe - wipe with dry TP (2 to 4 sheet average) And they are flushable.

Now I'm not convinced completely that they don't hurt the sewer system, but I personally have never had a clog. And no. I don't use TP first. I also keep a box at work. The TP supplied here is cheap and it leaves pieces all over you. It's also rough. Plus? I'm a clean freak and it makes me feel cleaner.

I could see using these at my parents house. They buy some cheap ass TP (Scott??) that is just like sandpaper. We use Charmin and do ok....

That's totally a concern for me (the sewer system/pipe clogging). DH freaked when he found out I flushed tampons. Apparently, that's a very bad thing....so I am no longer allowed to do that...

I've been using them since I had to have a colonoscopy at 29 (so about 8 years), based on the recommendation of my specialist. When you have a digestive track that is at war with the rest of your body, you take every little tool you can get.
I was thrilled when CostCo started making a Kirkland brand, as they are cheaper than the Charmin, even with a coupon. (Though the Charmin ones from CostCo come with travel packs, which are also helpful.)
They have never clogged our toilet and are completely flushable.
I have no issues with people not liking the commercials- I was surprised when I first started seeing them, but the product is a pretty necessary one in my house.

I love Scott TP - I think the sandpaper-ness of it just blasts away any klingons.

Just to point out - If this was YM we would be talking about the best type of leaves to use (in the summer that is). In winter we would be talking about the best way to steal the neighbors newspaper.

Remember the lady on Extreme Cheapskates who had her family use cloth instead of TP, and she had a little basket and would collect the dirties, and then bleach them and put them back in the bathroom?

LOL. The entire concept of diapers is gross, if you think about it. There is a reason the only people that are in diapers are the ones that don't really have a choice.

I buy Scott TP for our septic systems continued good health. If anyone doesn't like it they are welcome to not use our bathroom while they are here. I will say I started buying the flushable wet wipes for my son because he would use half a roll of TP and still leave skid marks everywhere. Since one moist flushable wipe does the job of half a roll of TP I figured it would still be better for our septic system not to mention my laundry. I just wait until they go on sale and use a coupon to make them cheap. There have been quite a few times they were on a great sale and they always seem to have coupons.

I do like the one commercial where the sister turns the shower on on her sister. I'm with the sister that turns the shower on her.

I can't recall the commercials off the top of my head, so I googled it, and found this article, with this explanation:
Now I see why they are pushing to make it normal to keep them on top of the toilet. It could increase sales without gaining a single customer. And once you walk into your friend's houses and see that everyone has them, you will probably buy them, too. So, the reason isn't really to get you to buy them, it is to get you to use them - often.

I thought they were silly, until I bought them. I will never doubt you again, adult butt wipes!
