Using toilet paper as kleenex....do you really think that's sanitary?

I mean, if I'm in my own apartment, I'll take a brand new roll if there isn't any kleenex. If I'm really desperate and I'm out of napkins and paper towels for some reason. Otherwise, no. I wouldn't even think about taking toilet paper from a public restroom and using it as kleenex. God knows who's touched it! Is there anyone else this way?

Well, I always bring tissue paper whenever I go and a kleenex too just in case.

never i would not use toilet roll from a public toilet as a tissue, i have done this at home as i am the only person in my house who uses it, my children have their own special toilet wipes as they are only toddlers so i no that the only person to have touched the toilet roll is myself.

I try to keep kleenex on hand but if i dont have any I will use toilet paper just do what i do and unroll the first layer and toss it i feel safer knowing underneath has not been touched by anyone.

i always bring my own kleenex, tissue paper and wet ones. i dont use what is in the public toilet. i dont know who touched them before me. i am not that vain but i am just careful. its not easy to get sick now a days for everything is expensive. i would rather bring my own stuff than to get sick. like you in my house if i dont have any kleenex i can blow my nose ill take a roll that i can use to blow my knows with. but from public toilets... no

It doesn't bother me to use toilet paper as kleenex. It is just rolled up kleenex any way. It is only my husband and myself at home now so I know who touches the toilet paper. Now of course talking about the public restrooms that is a different story altogether. I would not use those toilet papers for kleenex. As you said in your discussion that we don't know whose hands have been on those rolls of toilet paper.

I would at home but not from a public toilet, if I need a tissue and have run out il pop and buy some using public toilet tissue to wipe my nose is almost as bad as those I saw admitting to using their sleeve in another discussion its dirty!
Having two small children though tissues or wipes are always on hand so its never really a problem
