發明衛生紙的是亞瑟?史古脫！ 衛生紙的由來 在將近壹百年前的二十世紀初，美國史古脫紙業(Scott Paper)公司買下壹大批紙，因運送過程中的疏忽，造成紙面潮濕產生皺折而無法使用。 面對壹倉庫的無用的紙，大家都不知如何是好，在主管會議中，有人建議將紙退回供應商以減少損失，這個建議獲得所有人的附議。 該公司負責人亞瑟?史古脫卻不這麽想，他想到在卷紙上打洞，變成容易撕下成壹小張壹小張的。 史古脫將這種紙命名為「桑尼」衛生紙巾，賣給火車站、飯店、學校等放置於廁所中，因為相當好用而大受歡迎，並慢慢普及到壹般家庭中，為公司創下了許多利潤。 如今衛生紙已經成為妳我生活中不可或缺的物品，並以多樣的面對待給我們生活上許多的便利 面紙是壹種極薄的紙張。它的外觀通常跟入廁使用的衞生紙極其相像，而衞生紙有單張四方型的、卷成圓筒型的，其中單張四方型的又經常包裝在紙盒或塑料包裝中，上面露出壹口，便於每次抽取單張。這種抽取式的包裝、使用方法，又正好和面紙最常見的包裝、使用方法雷同，以致於兩者經常造成使用者的混淆。 面紙的設計目的和衞生紙正好相反。衞生紙是故意設計成壹碰到水就爛掉，以免造成廁所馬桶堵塞，而面紙的設計目的是用來擦臉、擦手，正因為會接觸到汗水，因此設計得柔軔無比，不容易拉斷、碎裂。如果將面紙都進馬桶中，就有可能造成水管堵塞。因此面紙雖然外觀和使用方法和衞生紙經常極其類似，但是用途(擦哪裏)和用法(是否可以丟進廁所)則完全不同。 由來 20世紀初，美國史古脫紙業(Scott Paper)公司買下壹大批紙，因運送過程中的疏忽，造成紙面潮濕產生皺折而無法使用。 面對壹倉庫的無用的紙，大家都不知如何是好，在主管會議中，有人建議將紙退回供應商以減少損失，這個建議獲得所有人的附議。 該公司負責人亞瑟?史古脫卻不這麽想，他想到在卷紙上打洞，變成容易撕下成壹小張壹小張的。 史古脫將這種紙命名為「桑尼」衞生紙巾，賣給火車站、飯店、學校等放置於廁所中，因為相當好用而大受歡迎，並慢慢普及到壹般家庭中，為公司創下了許多利潤。 zh. *** /wiki/面紙 中國 雖早在蔡倫之前二百年，民間已開始利用植物纖維來造紙，但是因為用麻或苧麻為原料所做的指，質地粗糙，無法用於書寫，而棉花制成紙，卻又因價格昂貴無法普及。 但如廁就已經使用草紙!.knowledge.yahoo/question/?qid=7006031700600
History Records of human usage of toilet paper first appeared in China
during the 14th century. The classic 16th century satirical novel Gargantua and Pantagruel by Fran?ois Rabelais contains references to various toilet paper alternatives. For example
in the 13th chapter of the First Book
titled "How Grandgousier realized Gargantua's marvelous intelligence
by his invention of an Arse-wipe
" the giant Gargantua
while still a child
tries dozens of different methods for wiping his bottom
including paper
but unfortunately he finds it "leaves some chips on his ballocks". Finally he discovers the best method: But to conclude
I say and maintain that there is no arse-wiper like a well-downed goose
if you hold her neck beeen your legs. You must take my word for it
you really must. You get a miraculous sensation in your arse-hole
both from the softness of the down and from the temperate heat of the goose herself; and this is easily municated to the bum-gut and the rest of the intestines
from which it reaches the heart and the brain. The first factory-made paper marketed exclusively for toilet use was produced by Joseph Cayetty in the United States in 1857. Cayetty's name was printed on every sheet. Before this invention
wealthy people used wool
lace or hemp for their ablutions
while less wealthy people used their hand when defecating into rivers
or cleaned themselves with various materials such as rags
wood shavings
leaves
grass
hay
stone
sand
moss
water
snow
maize husks
fruit skins
or seashells
and cob of the corn depending upon the country and weather conditions or social customs. In Ancient Rome
a sponge on a stick was monly used
and
after usage
placed back in a bucket of salater. In some parts of the world
the use of newspaper
telephone directory pages
or other paper products was mon. Old Farmer's Almanac was sold with a hole punched in the corner so it could be hung on a nail in an outhouse. The widely-distributed Sears catalogue was also a popular choice until it began to be printed on glossy paper (at which point
some people wrote to the pany to plain). In Hervé Bazin's book
"Viper in the Fist"
a Catholic family uses pages of the Catholic newspaper
La Croix (after tearing off the cross of Calvary). In modern flush toilets
using newspaper as toilet paper is liable to cause blockages. In monarchical Russia
a subordinate stamped the toilet paper with imperial arms for the use of the Tsar. In the court of Henry VIII of England
the Groom of the Stool was given the job of cleaning the royal anus with his hand. The Groom of the Stool was both a highly respected and coveted position. For security reasons
only a highly trusted courtier would be chosen and it was coveted because of the influence he might have with the king
daily having the opportunity to be alone with His Majesty. 2006-10-31 13:39:18 補充： Using water to clean oneself
in lieu of toilet paper
is mon in India and Muslim countries
where people use their left hand to clean themselves and their right hand for eating or greeting (In parts of Africa
though
the converse is true
and a right-handed handshake could be considered rude). 2006-10-31 13:39:42 補充： 詳情 : en. *** /wiki/Toilet_paper#History
