Right, they probably already have these, but if so they should put them in the hotels.
You know if you make a cash deposit at the bank on a night. They have one of those night safe slots which you open, put the money in, then close. You can never see the safe behind the slot (for obvious reasons). Well, one of those in a toilet bin. You open the slot and put your used paper in there, but are never exposed to the bin full of waste behind.
Then, bear with me, nappy bags. We find putting your used paper in nappy bags before putting it in the bin is a help. So how about the above, but when you open the bin you affix a nappy bag type thing to the rim if the slot, and when you close the bin it automatically wraps and seals the bag.
It's amazing what you think of when you have literally hours on the beach with almost nothing to do.

I find that the alternative solution is to wash my hands afterwards.  |

Just happy to hear someone else uses "nappy sacks"
And, yes, you would have thought that at least in hotels, they could have a better "waste disposal" system.
That said YM, have you experienced the "self flush" at Mandraki?? Lol!
There, you don't have a care how your paper is disposed of, you just want to do what's needed & and escape 😂🤣

If you think bins a problem dont visit india ! i asked someone why there was always a bucket of water or a tap in toilet cubicles,..... to wet your hands before wiping and was hand after! most people do not have money to spend on toilet paper need it for the essentials.
One hand is used for eating they rarely use cutlery either and one hand for the wipe!
When i first went to greece, i thought bins a problem especially as my sons quite young then announced im not putting it in a bin.
Theres a very funny bit in one of gerald durrells books his sister says " there was no paper in the toilet" younger sister says yes there is a binful at the side of the toilet ! Ahhhhh

Ahhhhh In the Arab world, good hygiene is water in the toilet for proper cleansing - none of this dirty western habit of inadequate rubbing/spreading with paper! And of course, one hand for eating, one for wiping. You can cause major horror if you eat with the wiping hand. Just saying. |

We always work on the three sponge principal - one each for washing and one for cleansing your bum. It works for us but the toilet does need to be close to a sink. If we get caught short while out and about we wipe for our lives.

Well, thank you for resurrecting this gripping topic, Phil.
So where do you keep the three sponges when you go out? How do you tell which is which? Is the room cleaner aware of the difference between sponges and if not, do they never get mixed up?
Perhaps others of our readers have more questions?
:-)

Packs of 3 sponges usually come in 3 different colours. 90% of the time its blue, pink and white. Its not to hard to remember that white = me, pink = Liz and blue is used for the other job. Just rinse the blue sponge after use and leave it in the shower tray ready for the next time. Use toilet paper fist followed by a wet sponge then dry off with a bit more toilet roll; it saves the bin getting full to the brim of disgusting used toilet roll.

Are we just lucky? Our bin is emptied EVERY day, including Sundays - never had a full bin.

I just feel (personal opinion) that, irrespective of how long it is between binds being emptied, that any dirty toilet paper is best sealed/contained.
The toilet paper situation is a very minor, but universal niggle, and some sort of 'containing' bin should be extremely easy to develop. |

I don’t think it will ever change; that’s why we do what we do. I suppose it’s horses-for-coarses; we do what we feel comfortable with.

I can’t get fired up about it. Maybe I’ve seen too many scenes of dubious health and hygiene through my life.
But I couldn’t do that dog and little plastic bags thing!!!

You could just eat a whole box of Immodium before flying out, then you wouldn't need any toilet paper 😁!
