Did you know that the Ancient Chinese invented toilet paper? Before toilet paper, people used various different types of objects to clean themselves such as: water, rags, wood shavings, leaves, hay, rocks, sand, moss, sea weed, apple husks, sea shells, and ferns. Then, the Ancient Chinese created an invention in the first century A.D; toilet paper. The Ancient Chinese had used toilet paper for 400 years before the rest of the world found out about it. They originally made toilet paper with bamboo, then mixed the bamboo with cotton linen rags soaked in water. Then they smashed these materials with wood.
Many modifications have been made to toilet paper. It is made in modern times by adding leaves and grass to the paper. Then they boil the paper for 30 minutes. But, instead of smashing the materials with wood, modern-day makers roll the materials with a rolling pin. Did you know that toilet paper is now used for things like packaging material, eyeglass wiping, nose care, makeup remover, toilet seat covers, and even wedding dresses? The United States alone generates $200 billion in sales just on toilet paper each year. Lastly, studies show an average person spends three years on the toilet in their lifetime.
In conclusion, toilet paper is a very important invention of the Ancient Chinese that makes a big impact on modern-day life. It is much more comfortable than other things used at the time of it's invention, and was made in the first century A.D. Also, toilet paper is incredibly important because it can be used for many purposes and and is used by almost everyone.
