What Was Used Before Toilet Paper?

- Toilet Paper is one of the great inventions several civilizations (from China to Greece to Rome and beyond) have spend thousands of years trying to perfect. Yet, toilet paper something people today tend not to think about until they need it and can't find it. From the earliest moss used to the modern bidet, we're going to go through and detail the history by which the modern form of TP came to be, and what comes next.
New episodes are every Thursday.

Well done, tackling a taboo subject! But something we are all acquainted with.
My first time to watch a video from this channel. Just want to leave some positive reinforcement... Videos I hate: 1) Ones where the narrator speaks in silly voices, or in the early 20th century style “announcer” voices; 2) Ones where the narrator thinks it’s better to show themselves rather than an interesting video clip or image; 3) Ones where the narrator talks too fast, or doesn’t know (or research) how to properly pronounce the place or people or item names mentioned in their videos.
I’m happy to say, your video fell into none of those traps. I have subscribed to your channel and am looking forward to watching more of your videos.
Bidets are so expensive upfront, but boy howdy are they CHEAP compared to buyign so much TP.
Too true. Don't have a bidet personally, but I know people that do. They also must have been nice during the toilet paper shortages
It has to be heated water, or youll want to " llik flesruoyy@Learn_Something_New
Commenting for the algorithm. Thank you for answering a question that I always had.
I believe that wealthy Americans were hiring Mexicans to clean them using their tongues back in the 1800's but the practice was ruled illegal and largely abandoned in the 1970's
How do you use the sea-shells?
The stick with the sponge had me dead. I would use my fucking hand before I used that thing
🔥🔥🔥🔥
honestly its just something ppl dont think about
Hey Bro,
I'm thinking the title that might work better is, "What Was Used Before Toilet Paper". Your title needs to be what people are typing in as their search term.
While I love this title (cleverly humorous), I know that no one is typing this in as a search term.
Having said that, I love your content, and I'm a new subscriber.
Keep it up, and I'll keep watching!
I'll try out the title. Thanks for the suggestion!
Definetly got here because of the title search lol ! I work in a toilet paper , paper towels and facial tissues warehouse and got curious. Lol. Also no wonder the Romans had so many health problems omfg.
First to wipe
💜💜💜To anyone reading this,you are enough,you're beautiful,loved and stay strong. Have a wonderful day/night.❤🎉❤❤❤
Well said :)
On the future we'll be using three seashells.
It's quite odd and disgusting knowing those people who walk out of stores proudly under their arms are showing everyone the items that helps smears their shit all over their hands.
heres a comment
Always appreciated :)
This sounds like it came directly from the The History Guy done 3 years ago.
Bidet + paper is the ultimate imho
As a american we switched to bidet and dry off using paper only
Honestly I have no idea why but I feel honestly literally like scared of old toilet paper. Specifically the one on a stick. Like honestly I'm kind of creeped out and I'm kind of scared. Like I'm literally shaking because of a stupid sponge on a stick.
are you okay

Correction regarding the Roman Xylospongium aka "sponge on a stick": It was used as a toilet brush and the "personal cleaning" happened with water flowing from a trickle flowing along the public bathroom. And remains of clothes etc were also found. Even more convincing than the sheer conception of the highly cultured and advanced Romans passing diseases by sharing a "popo stick" is also the fact that in some of these public bathrooms wall writings reminding the attendants to use the Xylospongium are existent. And it makes a lot more sense that you need to remind people of using a toilet brush rather than reminding them to wipe themselves.
