Out of toilet paper? 100 Toilet paper tablets for on the go

In spite of all technological progress, one of the greatest fears that mankind has ever experienced in the confusion of modern everyday life remains: sitting there without toilet paper after doing your business. In the apartment of your girlfriend! At a meeting with her parents! Blessed is he who carries the toilet paper tablets in his wallet.

• Toilet paper tablets
  • at AliExpress for $6.02 (50 pcs.) or $9.45 (100 pcs.) | Amazon for $10.99  (100 pcs.)| Amazon for $18.95 (100 pcs.)

I admit that the words “toilet paper tablets” raise questions without further explanation. For example, the question, “Uh, excuse me?” We also scratched our heads questioningly. Then we took a closer look and recognize the advantages of the paper in the handy candy format. But attention: The “tablets” are not suitable for consumption. 😉

Although at first glance the cloths look like small tablets, they are actually individual, very strongly compressed fabric cloths that unfold on contact with water. Afterwards they look a little bit like moist (refreshing) tissues. Depending on the, uh, “need” you then use one or more at the same time, depending on whether you just want to blow your nose or answer the call of nature. If anyone still can’t imagine how this works: this guy here has tested the wipes:

We also shook our heads in disbelief at the beginning, and the tablets are rather not an option for home. At the sight of the individually packed sheets in some offers, the alarm bells ring for anyone who has any heart for environmental protection. Even if you don’t care, the price per sheet here is around 10 cents, and for that reason alone, no one will put a box of these tablets in their bathroom at home.

But it’s different when you’re travelling, and you can turn a blind eye to a one-off investment. Whether at airports, in the toilet of a hostel or on a camping trip in the mountains: wherever you find yourself without the saving toilet paper, the small tablets would be a real help, and a handful of them would fit easily into your pocket.

But now we are curious to hear your opinion! 😀 Good idea or proverbial for an a**?
