Izal Medicated Strong Toilet Paper Reviews

I cannot believe that Izal toilet paper is still on sale. It invokes memories of outside loos at school with a similar product having 'Council Property Now Wash Your Hands Please' printed on it.

On a cold day; facing the prospect of having to go out to the toilet was bad enough; but wiping one's nether regions with the equivalent of cheap writing paper was too much of an ask. Hard loo roll has absolutely no functional use whatsoever. To inflict it on the most delicate area of one's body is the preserve of the masochist.

It's obvious that most users (deliberate or circumstantial) simply haven't sussed out how to use Izal, or one of its copiers, effectively.
If you take a triple sheet and scrunch it up then flatten it out again, you will find its ability to do a clean job is much enhanced, as the crap gets lodged in the rougher surface.
Three or four applications like this will have your botty clean as new pin and smelling like a Victorian laundry, ready to face the world with a smile.

I have used Izal all my life and would never from choice use any other. One of the main advantages is its strength. So many brands have little strength if the paper is even slightly wet, with the result that one's fingers penetrate the sheet and become contaminated with faeces. This fact combined with less than perfect hand-washing may well be the cause of some outbreaks of food poisoning.
The lavatories in our home have two toilet roll holders to cater for visitors for whom Izal is not their first choice.

At the beginning of the 1890`s a germicidal disinfectant had been made using the by products from coke furnaces, gases, tars and oils. In 1893 this was patented as Izal. The product became available in liquid, powder, soap, cream and ointment form. This famous disinfectant was said to help combat cholera, chicken pox, whooping cough and ...  Read the complete review

Izal toilet paper must have been invented by somebody who was severely constipated and had a grudge against people who weren't. Why else would someone invent a slippy, water repellent toilet paper? Obviously someone must use it because it is still on sale sixty odd years after it was invented, there can't be that many people in the ...  Read the complete review

OK, toilet tissue, bog roll, loo roll, dunny paper, call it what you will, there are many worse names for it. The one being reviewed here is the famous, or infamous, IZAL medicated! I remember it from my school days, It also brings back memories of my Royal Navy time too, although the latter was printed with "Government Property"! I wish ...  Read the complete review

Oh My GOD!! Just for a lark I decided to put this into the search engine and see what came up. I am unsure whether you can still seriously buy this stuff, but there is a nostalgia website out there on the interwebby selling this! now I really don't want to talk about my toilet habits, but this is for the benefit of the ...  Read the complete review

"When I was a lad.....", - the phrase so often used to describe the misfortunate experiences of their woe-filled 1920s and 30s youthful existence. My Grandparents had to put up with carbolic soap, doodlebugs and Rickets. Was Izal invented to give us 1970s kids something to reflect on in these years gone by as something ...  Read the complete review

Do you remember being at school and that horrible thin, scratchy non-absorbent paper that smeared everything around rather than soaking it up, and scratched your delicate bits to pieces? Well, now you know it’s name Izal medicated toilet tissue. If you don’t remember these days, you are indeed fortunate! On paper, (pun very much ...  Read the complete review

IZAL toilet paper has been a MUST for me for nuch of my life. I am 84. But now I use it as a BACKING for one or more layers of soft tissue. The short term damp resistantce and strength of Izal are very important. In order to overcome dampness, those who use only soft tissue have to use many layers. WHY DO YOU ...  Read the complete review

Best paper in the world provided you know how to use it. Rather than dabbing and mopping with it as you would with conventional "nancy boy" soft paper you mneed to do a bit of origami and form it into a small shovel and scoop away at your bum untill it is sparkley clean and because of the medicated magic of Izal totaly free of all known germs.

Being alergic to tissue fibres this doesn't give me a lot of choice of toilet paper. I have to use izal or newspaper of which i dont mind using either. Izal is cleaner as it doesn't leave the print behind!. Izal is good for the environment as it is not chlorine bleached and is made from a renewable source. Izal breakes down,when flushed away,in 30 ...  Read the complete review

I recently had reason to use a public restroom in a restaurant in Glasgow. To my astonishment and absolute horror there were rolls of Izal piled up atop the cistern, and one loaded "ready to burn" in the dispenser. I remember this stuff from schooldays in the 60's, hell my parents remember it from before even then! It's ...  Read the complete review

I am rather disappointed to see that Izal only got a single star rating - it's my toilet tissue of choice; I feel that Andrex has turned the nation a bit soft. When I was at school in the North my Dad gave me an oversized brown bag to carry my school books. My friends thought that this was very funny and continuously gave me a hard ...  Read the complete review

When I was little I can only remember izal toilet paper I do not think even if soft toilet paper had been invented then that is was common. I remember having to go to our outside loo that did not flush, the “ bucket men” used to come ands collect every week. I used to have to wipe my poor delicate bum on ...  Read the complete review

Canon Printers, BJC 2100SP and 2100SP I bought the 2100SP after my 2000SP died what I thought was a premature death. It also died quite young; put it this way, it needed a new printer head, which costs nearly as much as a new printer. While the printers worked, they were quick and produced reasonable but not brilliant copies. ...  Read the complete review

Greaseproof Paper - Advantages: Hygenic, Cool Name, Keeps food fresh - Disadvantages: Smears not clears, Sticks to your hand, Cuts your ring

Izal toilet tissue was common in many household toilets and in public toilets and even schools right up until about 1975, but thankfully it isn't so common now except in some pensioners houses. Izal is more like tracing paper than tissue paper and the reason it is medicated is probably because it has a danger of cutting your bum when ...  Read the complete review

Izal toilet paper is one of the worst of its kind! The medicated loo roll is less than attractive in its dull green plain packaging. On the front of the packaging is a green cross, showing that it has been medically treated. They say that it is medicated on the wrapper, but to me it smells a bit bland and old fashioned. This is probably ...  Read the complete review

Izal lavatory paper. Well I was surprised that this was still on the market when I fell across the category. The cheapest Toilet Paper that you can buy I think, and totally useless. It is hard on the delicate bits and too ‘Skiddy.’ Totally non-absorbent. Now that is me trying to keep this op decent, ...  Read the complete review
