A cynic like me suspects that an "informative link" may soon be posted as to from where we might purchase the latest electric bidet.

Izal medicated paper was a requirement of the environment of the damper outside loo, (well that or the sections from the sports pages from the Hull Daily Mail for emergencies on the back of the door)


Experiments in the early 1970s when we visited my grand parents,  (my parents house having an indoor one, my grandparents requiring you to go outside and sort of back in again - that 1930 compromise of the attached outside loo)  found that the damp of the early morning would ruin a roll of the soft stuff, and you had to take it back into the house last thing at night for it to remain dry enough to be serviceable.

Problem is you them had to remember to take it with you  on the first serious trip out next day, or you were back on the emergency newsprint...

The other problem with the soft stuff is the  puppy running off so the roll is empty when you need it.  (Hamlet advert shows the issue)


PS the front of the Hull Daily Mail you take with you to the chipshop, as they gave you some extra 'scraps' if you brought your own paper, and the rest goes for lighting the fire. I think some folk even used to read it as well.

During my MoD civil service days at an RAF station, the standard issue there was an Izal like paper with Government Property printed on each sheet. I was overjoyed when I read somewhere that Government toilet paper was going to be tissue. It never changed in my days there, but I have a feeling that Toilet Tissue paper was not actually the soft stuff, but more like Izal......

Actually, I have never heard a bad review of a Biobidet.


One of my elderly lady customers who has serious surgery was told she was just wasting her money buying one, she actually says it’s wonderful.


They are no different to a macerator as regards electrical installation. The job on Thursday has a vertical body dryer as well as the Biobidet and lots of other kit that most people don’t even know exists.

That   link  or another one for broadgage

Regards Izal, one of customers paid £8 for a roll in “mint condition” in an antique shop, for display purposes only, it has pride of place on their cloakroom window sill.


When I was at primary school you had to raise your hand in class if you wanted to go to the toilet, then if permission was given you had to then ask for the Izal toilet paper, because it was kept in the teachers desks and issued two sheets at a time, one to wipe and one to polish. 


Once you had permission and had paper in hand you set off to the facilities, the boys toilets were outside and did not have a roof, which meant they completely froze up in the winter and the caretaker had to thaw the bowls out, leaving users to flush with a bucket of water because the cisterns were frozen solid.


Just a little different to what we install now.
