This is when a character uses something not typically used as toilet paper as toilet paper. The item may be of high value or importance—showing their greed and wastefulness; may be ridiculous and played for comedy; may be historical accuracy; or may be happening because the person has to use a substitute due to there not being any toilet paper. They may also prefer to use it instead (perhaps due to it being softer), or mistakenly uses it instead of what they intended to use. No, tissue paper and paper towels are not of high value. This is likely Older Than Print in real life (due to historic substitutes). Related tropes include Potty Emergency and Only Useful as Toilet Paper. |

Twice in the Deponia series. In Chaos On Deponia, Rufus goes into a dark toilet, and mistakenly uses a coupon with Braille on it as toilet paper. In Goodbye Deponia, the time traveller in the toilet finds the toilet paper far too rough and asks for a replacement from Rufus. Rufus gives him a large wad of cash. |

Discussed (and exploited) in an episode of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. Indy is surprised and dismayed to be sent into the middle of a German encampment to steal toilet paper, only to ultimately learn that, lacking access to the genuine article, the Germans have been repurposing old memos and other documents.note "Once delivered, it goes straight to the outhouse." One such memo ends up providing an important clue. | |

In some countries, it's common to use other methods instead of toilet paper. For example, in some Asian countries, it's common to wash your bottom with water (from a bucket or a bidet) and your hands. It's also not unheard of in other places (like in the Middle Eastern and North African countries, as seen in Jojos Bizarre Adventure) to use soil or sand because the soil/sand there is so hot and barren that it's sterile. And of course, there's using leaves or other plant matter... and historically, there's also rubbing your anus on the edge of a stick. | |

The Legend of Zelda: In The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask there's a being who lives in a toilet for reasons best not explored. If you approach at night, it will reach out a hand and ask for paper. There are several pieces of paper Link can acquire through the game, and any will work, earning a reward of a Piece of Heart at the expense of whatever quest the paper was meant for. The above is referenced in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword with a female ghost who lives in a bathroom and will ask for paper if visited at night. In this case, the only option is a love letter meant to be given to another character, and if you give it to the ghost she'll become infatuated with the sender and haunt him. |

Gintama: In the Yagyuu Arc, Ayumu Tojo set up a trap with the restroom that forces those who needs to use the toilet to be stuck there without the toilet. Not only did Gintoki and Kondo get trapped, so did his master Binbokusai and Tojo himself, due to eating bad eggs from Tae for the former and the bad yolk for the latter. So they all work to find a way out by looking for substitutes so Binbokusai brings out sandpaper, much to their displeasure. Then Binbokusai and Gintoki fool them by using the paper on themselves, causing Kondo and Tojo to pull out photos of Tae and Kyubei respectively for guidance... only to realize the photos are paper too which causes them to hesitate on whether to use them or the sandpaper! After a moment, Ayumu and Tojo wipe and they fight in a Single-Stroke Battle Ayumu losing and Kondo the victor. As it turns out, Tojo actually used the photo which he admits was disgraceful and weak while Kondo won though it comes with the cost of using the sandpaper instead which leads to High-Pressure Blood coming from his own ass. Before their fight begins, Gintoki ends up using money paper from his wallet to wipe while Binbokusai used a scroll containing his family's secret arts much to their own dismay while claiming they aren't using paper at all. |

QI spent a question debating what people used before the invention of toilet paper. The Roman solution of sponges on sticks was covered, as was the fact the dock leaf is one of the largest, softest and most forgiving examples of British flora. But the prize had to go to the neck of a freshly slaughtered goose. Not the whole bird and certainly not the head and beak. Just the neck, said to be soft and smooth and gentle and certainly cleansing. | |

Two examples from Family Guy: In season 2 "There's Something About Paulie", while Peter is using the toilet, a member of the Mafia appears to tell him that he has to see the Don to repay his favor. When Peter realizes that he's out of toilet paper, he uses an Entertainment Weekly magazine as a substitute. In season 8, "Spies Reminiscent of Us", when Peter tries to use the bathroom in Cleveland's abandoned house, he finds out there's no toilet paper. Peter runs offscreen to Joe's house and asks him if he can borrow something from him, Joe allows it, unaware of what Peter is doing. When he runs back onscreen into Cleveland's house, he's carrying the American flag. |

In Ptolemy's Gate from The Bartimaeus Trilogy, John Mandrake / Nathaniel in his work for the government has put out a number of pamphlets full of government puffery and lies called Real War Stories. During a meeting of commoners to discuss the government's outrages, a tavern-keeper comments that he's made a point to collect as many of them as possible, and when he is chastised for this, says that he's proud to do so and that if anyone visits the bathroom after the meeting is over, they'll see ample proof of their usefulness. | |
