The toilet paper shortage caused by the coronavirus outbreak might be leading to supermarket mayhem, but not for these Aussie mums who’ve come up with a way to make their own.

With shoppers stripping shelves of product daily, one Melbourne mother sick of going into battle for precious loo roll devised a unique solution by using face washers.

At this stage, while the family still has some toilet paper in the house, there isn’t a strict rule as to whether the face washers are used for “number ones or number twos”, with Ms Hughes saying it’s up to the user. One woman recently took to a Facebook group dedicated to the hardware giant Bunnings to reveal how she had fashioned a solution using microfibre cloths.Source:Supplied

“When the bucket is full then they will be washed in a separate load with Napisan. It has reduced our use of toilet paper which we can save for more pressing toilet visits.”

Philippines dont have toilet paper issue coz they use this this called Tabo. The tabò is the traditional Filipino hygiene tool primarily for cleansing, bathing, and cleaning the floor of the bathroom. The tabo could most commonly be found in the provinces and cities.

Ever heard of a newspaper cut up into squares? It worked a treat for our grandparents. 🙄

i believe that bleach and laundry detergent are also in short supply

Oh great. Here we go now with face washer shortages because the hysterical fake news media has to generate more clicks.

Wow what a coincidence my husband has come up with using flannels (facewashers) too when our loo rolls run out

Rocket science that is

Just shake the shit out of it? 🤔

Yeah... no

Use the australian only thing it's good for.

Good way to spread more viruses! 🤢

Or just get a bidet?

What about using Choko leaves?

They didn't come up with it.. tell the truth! it's all over the internet as sustainable living solution. I knew about it last year.

This was always plan b. But try finding bleach

I’m not saying it won’t get to this stage in my house. But 🤢. This article is definitely likely to fuel the panic buying.
