We used to keep ziplock bags and paper bags in the head for just that situation. My wife was in charge of instructing female guests.
Put the item in the ziplock bag, zip it and put it in the paper bag. At that point it could go in the trash bag.

if the proper TP won't clog the head, then flush away. The two times the head clogged it had nothing to do with TP. Once it was a guest who had a bm like rock--seriously, and the other it was a tampon. The rock star was embarrassed.

A handy hint. Halve TP waste by using both sides.
Wifey B: I'll let you use the second side. I'm just using the first. :lol:

I use both sides. After first wipe using several paper sections, fold paper in half and use clean half for second wipe.
Wifey B: Omg. If you really do that, I have to ask why and how you got started. Wouldn't work for me, as I fold it before the first wipe. I hear something new every day but double using TP wasn't one I expected. We were poor when I was growing up but didn't do that. I didn't know people wiped without folding.

What's wrong, Howard? Too much information?
I apologize for starting this thread.
Thank you Mark for not posting a picture.
Wifey B: I'm glad Oliver took your shoes now after you doing this sh..ty thread.
I had no idea people used TP in such different ways. I'd never thought to ask others how they did it or watch to see. I don't even recall learning. I am pleased though that hubby and I both do it the same. Also quizzed the other four with us and found they do as well. No double users or single ply and no fold or any of the other freaky stuff. I suggested to Nikki maybe go take a poll of the marina but she rejected that idea.
Wifey B: Well, it's sure gotten a lot of giggles (and a few omg's) from those on our boat as I've read it aloud.

Wifey B: But why? Why oh why oh why? Who taught you that or did you develop the routine alone? Does your wife know? Surely she doesn't do it that way too?

TMI!
There are somethings you're just better off not knowing about people you interact with. Paper work is one of those things. I need another beer to forget about this thread.

The OP--me-- simply wanted to point out that Scott made a rapid dissolving TP that was available at a good price from Amazon. I thought others might like to know about the product as I did not know it existed. Seems I unleashed a sh!!t storm. Can we please get back to discussing anchors?
Yes, as often happens, your intentions were good.
