For ecology, many families choose to use reusable home fabrics after being in the toilet. This initiative is acclaimed by some, anxious to save the environment by avoiding the use of toilet paper, but criticized by others who feel horrified by this idea. But is this "family fabric" really a good idea?
The reusable rag, advantage or drawback?
The use of toilet paper has long been the only method of cleaning after being in the toilet, but it turns out that it is not the most effective method since it generates gynaecological problems or even urinary tract infections. Friction with paper is the main cause. Also, some people opt for home laundry, believing that it is not only more hygienic but also more environmentally friendly.
Moreover, a French woman uses about 17 grams of toilet paper per day, or 6.2 kilos per year. The experts therefore believe that the use of toilet paper should be banned. At the same time, they are moving forward that toilet paper is expensive for both the consumer and the environment. According to them, it kills about 27,000 trees a day around the world, which contributes to massive deforestation.
