Does anyone remember that toilet paper that was like tracing paper?
We used to have it in our school years ago and it was useless. It just used to spread the poo around instead of wiping your bum clean.
One brand that was brought to my attention was Izal medicated strong toilet paper : No jobs finished until the paperwork is done. Does anyone still use this? |

If you softened it before use it worked fairly well.

Remember it from primary school in the early 90s.
Pretty useless for cleaning up after a poo. |

Ah yes, who can forget the horrors of slide-and-shine?
Someone was having a laugh, surely. |

I think they doubled up in my school by using it in music lssons for the makeshift kazoos. Never used the stuff myself - your only hope of going home without shitty pants must have been to try and use it end on as a kind of makeshift scoop.

How does one soften a nonporous substance?
![]() What I hated was newspaper squares - cutting them up and stringing them seemed to take ages then the print came off on your bum when you wiped ! |

I have about 25-30 letters written by my grandfather on Izal paper from when he was in Africa in the Second World War. Apparently it was a much used medium because of it's strength. The battles of Alamein and Tobruk are detailed on them!

Izal was medicated, and always slightly damp I remember .........
...... associated with the days of bizarre ideas - catching VD from toilet seats - hence, medicated. http://www.dooyoo.co.uk/household-pr...-toilet-paper/ |

Public places used it. Places like town halls and community centres. I have no idea why anyone thought medicated shiny tracing paper was good for wiping. Your heart would sink if you were desperate to go and saw the little square packet on the wall.

My grandma used to have it at her house. Thankfully she also had nice toilet paper hidden under a Spanish dolly with a long dress on.
Did all grans have those loo-roll-dolls back in the early '80s or was it just mine? |
