Toilet Paper



The first toilet paper appeared in 1857. Called 'medicated paper', it was sold as sheets in a flat packet. To avoid embarrassment chemists sold it from under the counter. The first roll of toilet paper was introduced in 9132 and colored paper in 1957. Alternatives to bought toilet paper included newspaper cut in to squares. Evidence from archaeological digs suggest that sponges, leaves, moss, stones and old clothing cut in to squares were used before toilet paper was introduced.
