but that's a good question !!

Answer 2

There are remains of flushing toilets, both private and communal, from several ancient civilisations around the world, dating from 2600 BC onwards. Sir John Harington is said to have invented 'The Ajax', a flush toilet, in 1596 for Elizabeth I of England. The design had a flush valve to let water out of the tank, and a wash-down design to empty the bowl. People who didn't have this luxury either went on the ground or in a wooden box called an out-house. Records of human usage of toilet paper first appeared in China, during the 14th century. The first factory-made paper marketed exclusively for toilet use was produced by Joseph Gayetty in the United States in 1857.

Thomas Crapper did not invent the Toilet. He did not even make the design we have today. He made Giblin's design, which was basically a box with a syphoning system.

Answer 3

There was a noble origin to the water closet in its earliest days. Sir John Harington, godson to Queen Elizabeth invented a "necessary" in 1677.

The first valve-type flush toilet was introduced in 1738 by a man named J.F. Brondel.

We might owe the 1857 invention of toilet-paper to American, Joseph Coyetty. We do know that in 1880, the British Perforated Paper Company created the first paper to be used for wiping after using the toilet.

Answer 4

The Romans were the first to have water flowing under the seat to carry waste away, although it wasn't a flust toilet. The flush toilet was invented by a man named Crapper, which is where the word "crap" comes from, I believe.

Answer 5

It's amazing how often we get some variation of the questions, "When was toilet paper invented?", "Who invented toilet paper?", and "What did people use before toilet paper was invented?" Here are a few of the highlights in the evolution of toilet paper that we've compiled from various sources. Some links to more comprehensive articles follow.


What did people use before toilet paper? Well, just use your imagination: grass, leaves, fur, mussell shells, corncobs, stinging nettles... okay, maybe not that last, at least not more than once. The ancient Greeks used stones and pieces of clay; ancient Romans used sponges on the ends of sticks, kept in jugs filled with salty water. Mideasterners commonly used the left hand, which is supposedly still considered unclean in the Arabian region.
"Official" toilet paper - that is, paper which was produced specifically for the purpose - dates back at least to the late 14th Century, when Chinese emperors ordered it in 2-foot x 3-foot sheets.
Corncobs and pages torn from newspapers and magazines were commonly used in the early American West. The Sears catalogue was well-known in this context, and even produced such humorous spinoffs as the "Rears and Sorebutt" catalogue. The Farmer's Almanac had a hole in it so it could be hung on a hook and the pages torn off easily.
Joseph C. Gayetty of New York started producing the first packaged toilet paper in the U.S. in 1857. It consisted of pre-moistened flat sheets medicated with aloe and was named "Gayetty’s Medicated Paper". Gayetty's name was printed on every sheet.
Rolled and perforated toilet paper as we're familiar with today was invented around 1880. Various sources attribute it to the Albany Perforated Wrapping (A.P.W.) Paper Company in 1877, and to the Scott Paper company in 1879 or 1890. On a side note, the Scott Company was too embarrassed to put their name on their product, as the concept of toilet paper was a sensitive subject at the time, so they customized it for their customers... hence the Waldorf Hotel became a big name in toilet paper.

Here's an 1886 Albany Perforated Wrapping (A.P.W.) Paper Company ad for perforated, medicated, rolled toilet paper.

In 1935, Northern Tissue advertised "splinter-free" toilet paper. Yep, you read that right; early paper production techniques sometimes left splinters embedded in the paper. And you thought you had it tough!
In 1942, St. Andrew's Paper Mill in Great Britain introduced two-ply toilet paper
Amnerica experienced its first toilet paper shortage in 1973.
The Virtual Toilet Paper Museum opened its virtual doors in 1999.

Answer 6

John Crapper invented the toliet we know today. Outhouses, holes in the ground, behind yonder tree, before the indoor toilet. Toliet paper used to be nearby shrub foliage, then soft rags(washed after use), discarded paper materials, then an ingenious man, named Scott came upon a process of thin cotton material that evolved into our luxury today!

I will contemplate your question now while I read the daily paper, and reflect on life in solitude!
