    Default Homegrown natural toilet paper...

    Learned about Comfrey at a living history museum a few years back... it was used by pioneers as a natural and quite soft toilet paper. Grows like a weed. We've got some growing where there used to be an old homesite.

    Guests can not see images in the messages. Please register in the forum.

    Also has other great uses (herbal med, fertilizer)...

    Any other good natural toilet papers (besides corn cobs ) ?

    A rabbit works well also.

    Burdock leaves can get 18 inches long or longer.

    Remember that old saying: "Leaves of three, no wipee."

    Ginger leaves and bloodroot leaves are also palm-sized.

    DO NOT USE cow parsnip, which have HUGE leaves. The sap makes your skin photosensitive. If you get sap on your skin, any exposure to light will cause painful blisters, and you don't want blisters where the sun normally doesn't shine.

    Ah, you need to pay very close attention, but goats are very tidy creatures. Were I not "computer challenged" I would post a picture. Oh...they are very private about their toilet. GOATS RULE!!!

    Locally, there is one plant that fits the bill. It is better than toilet paper. Known colloquially as "lumber jacks toilet paper," it is more properly known as "big leaf aster." With large single leaves growing near to the ground, it has an upper smooth side, and a slightly rougher underside with soft silky hairs which do very well at cleaning you out. It grows almost everywhere there is forest cover.
