shiny sheets

[Danny]

When I was a little 'un it seemed that everywhere you went i.e. school, doctor, dentist, swimming baths etc there was no toilet roll - just these horrible sheets called Izal Medicated.

They didn't do the job like Andrex , all they did was spread about until you had a fine film all over your butt!

They were actually glossy finish with zero absorbence , anyone else remenmber this stuff?

My Nan use to swear by Izal, She would carefully place it in the middle of normal loo roll,claiming it gave the the best of both worlds

??? A good wipe and a good scratch How uncouth

My girlfriend has kept a ROLL of this stuff to remind herself of the joys (not!) of using this stuff....

I've used Izal as a kid and all it was good for was cutting up your a**ehole right royally!

We used to refer to Izal as 'John Wayne' Toilet Roll.

I remember this stuff. I used to call it tracing paper bog roll. You can still get it.

Also known in my old workplace as 'spreadsheets' for obvious reasons ;-)

Re: shiny sheets

They used to put this stuff in the toilets in my Infants and Junior school. We used to call it bumscraper. One kid even used to wrap it round his comb and play it! Even in those days we thought that was pretty gross.

Re: shiny sheets

One school I went to had this & I remember it being painful to use.

They occasionally had some paper that was like paper towling, but slightly thinner. It was rougher than normal toilet paper, but did have some absorbancy.

I was thinking something like that. The disturbing thing is the stuff is still available
