I used it as an alternative to TP when I switched to #1. They look beautiful in a white glass container over my toilet and can be washed and reused afterwards! They are very absorbent and I only need 1 tissue per urine. I didn't use them on #2, but I've heard the professional step is to rinse first. The texture is rough for a handkerchief. I can still blow my nose with it, but I don't wipe it off.
