A growing number of people are ditching toilet paper in favor of a reusable 'family wipe'

Imagine: no more empty rolls at the wrong time, no more recurring expenses, and above all, a reduced ecological footprint. Does this sound too good to be true? Yet, a growing number of people are making the radical choice to ditch toilet paper in favor of the family cloth, a reusable alternative that is as intriguing as it is divisive.

But why this return to a system our ancestors used before the invention of modern toilet paper? Is it really a good idea, both ecologically and economically? And above all, is it hygienic? We decipher a trend that leaves no one indifferent.

Why are some people saying goodbye to toilet paper?
Toilet paper seems harmless, yet its environmental impact is significant:

Millions of trees are cut down each year to produce rolls that are used in seconds.
168 liters of water are needed to make a single roll.
High energy consumption and the use of chemicals to bleach it.
Faced with this, the use of washable fabrics is part of a zero waste approach: less waste, less pollution... and savings to boot!
