Could you stay in Equestria without toilet paper?

[KillerKingBakudan 702]

Horses have no biological need for it in real life, so it's more than likely that Equestrian ponies wouldn't need it either. As such, none of their bathrooms will have any rolls available to you as human residents are not common.

You can stay and try looking for other, more inconvenient ways to clean yourself out, or return to Earth where the job is faster and efficient. It's a one-way trip if you choose the latter. Once you've landed back in your own world, there's no going back.

[Techno Universal 2,575]

Well knowing how I work I would definitely stay in equestria as there's tons of other things you could use as toilet paper and that even includes your hands if you did your business while standing in a shallow pool of water that's up to your chest!

This wins most unusual topic I've ever replied to! 

Newspaper if I want to be all colonial ... sponge on a stick if I want to wear a toga. Three seashells if I like Taco Bell. 

There.

Damn it! I should have read this first. Now I'm legally bound to use newspaper!!!

[PlzDelete 2,455]

There is toilet paper in MLP... BUT if there wasn't I would still stay. A dry leaf or washable towel would be the only stuff I need to stay in Equestria. <3

I'm not sure that counts. Is that really meant to be toilet paper, or are those just paper towels? Given the anatomy of their rear ends, I can't see ponies ever needing to wipe themselves with it. And if it's as thick as a roll of Bounty, it can still clog all the toilets.

Pretty sure it’s supposed to be toilet paper. Scare Master takes place on Nightmare Night, the pony proxy of Halloween. And Halloween is infamous as the night to pull pranks like tossing toilet paper in people’s trees.

But I have used paper towels in a pinch before, just throw them in the trash. I’ve also used tissues, which is absolutely able to be flushed.

Sir, I salute you.  People like you make me chucklesnort.

 

Y'know... all this talk of toilet paper, going back and forth and such... and I'm all over here, like:

 

"Really?  Toilet paper?  Folks are debating leaving friggin' Equestria over TOILET PAPER?  Sheesh, y'all... what d'you think folks did BEFORE toilet paper?  They used their thumbs, washed the crap off, then shook with the other hand.  Poop on my thumb, yeah - but that thumb resides on my hand, connected to my body, which gets to live in MARETHERFORKIN' EQUESTRIA!"

 

 

*headshake*  ... toilet paper...  *incredulous giggling*

The thread title speaks of a lack of TOILET PAPER... it says nothing about gloves being unavailable, too.

This is true! But if we’re talking about the OP’s idea of and Equestria that has a hard time accommodating a human, I imagine five fingered gloves would be even more unlikely than TP.

[PinkieShadow 4,053]

When I am in Equestria there is no need for that ?!

If you have a magical horn, or are pink, yellow or have wings... Why worry about that ?

They simply don´t do such things, have you ever seen horse shit or dung-heaps somewhere in Equestria ?

Very funny topic, happy to follow this one

Well... what about a washrag?  Plastic wrap?  (As previously mentioned) a newspaper?  Blueblood's tail?  A large towel?  Butt floss?  Maybe have a special, small fountain commissioned, then use it as a bidet?  River water?  

... but as to the purpose of the whole thing, I'd say I could doo- I MEAN, DO without paper for my butt.  I'd MISS it, yeah... but if it meant I get to live in Equestria, no problem for me.

Toilets are canon in Equestria.

Pretty sure the toilet flush isn’t just because they find it relaxing.

Thank´s a lot for enlighten me, I really has not seen this before

So then they do have treatment plant too ? ..... and dung-heaps ... they don´t show us all.

[KrazyDashie 1,846]

well I mean, if were to be a pony when I go to equestria, I guess I don't really need toilet paper

You haven’t? OMG, you have to watch that episode.

It’s The Last Roundup. It’s full of Pinkie Pie gold. XD

I am sure they have plenty of others options. Cleaning wipes and what have you. I would simply tell them that I need...special accommodations. This entire concept would probably be foreign for them, so explaining it wouldn't be easy. It would be a lot of word jumping.

[RavenholmZombie 1,329]

I'm sure I could find alternatives for toilet paper somewhere in Equestria. Maybe they have baby (or foal) wipes available for sale that I could stock up on?

[EpicEnergy 22,074]

Of course, I'd a pony after all and would have no need for it!

[Splashee 28,537]

That is what hay is for, along with hay-burgers and hay-fries

There’s more to life than mere wiping materials! In a pinch, one can improvise. I mean, even humans managed to survive and even thrive for centuries before TP made it into mainstream use. So, that being considered I’d stay in Equestria even if it meant growing my own little garden of these guys:

Mullein plants (aka cowboy toilet paper) are very soft and grow in almost any conditions. Pretty sure they’re septic-safe too!

Well there you go. Anyway no animal has a biological need for toilet paper but it makes life much more pleasant so I'm sure ponies use it too.

 

If there was something simple like that that you needed in Equestria I'm sure you could get ponies to make it for you with magic or manually. They probably couldn't make you an internet easily but whatever.
