A woman has left people shocked when she refused to use toilet paper and used old pyjamas to wipe clean instead.
Ali, from the US, is on a mission trying to "shrink her waste" as much as she can and has come up with ways to keep a susatinable lifestyle with her family.
From using bio-degradable washing tablet to ditching plastics, the parent also revealed that she uses a cloth after her toilet business.

To show viewers of her toilet setup, she says: "This is a basket of clean wipes mostly flannel cut from old Christmas pyjamas.
"When I use the bathroom, I let the bidet do all the heavy lifting – pat dry with a clean wipe and then put the used wipe in the bin which will eventually go into the laundry.
"No wipe is ever used for multiple bathroom sessions without being laundered, that would be disgusting."
Ali explained that the cloth is "sturdier" but also "softer on her bum", adding: "But my husband is not a fan so we also keep regular toilet paper."
She said: "The trash can by my toilet is actually a laundry bin for dirty cloth toilet paper.
"But under the sink, we keep a bin for compost and for landfill-boun trash."
But some viewers were disgusted by the idea of reusable toilet cloth.
One commented with a vomit emoji: "I would rather live on Mars because we destroyed the Earth than wash my guests' sh*t soaked rag."
"Nope," a second said. "Still poop left, I'm not sticking that in my washer."
Others were open to the idea, saying: "The bidet is the best investment anyone could make."
Another praised: "Okay thank you because I'm new-ish to the bidet life and I'm like 'wow I'm wasting so much toilet paper to literally just dry myself'."
