    Toilet paper on the camino

    You can also use a stand to pee device like the pStyle - no TP required! They are super discreet (pulling down pants not required), and allow you to remain standing - in addition to wiping you on the way out!

    My grandson and I walked the Camino Frances in May-June this year in Altra Lone Peaks and had no problem. I also walked on the Via Francigena across Switzerland into Italy in them in August. I did take 2 pair on the Camino Frances and wore each half way - soles are still quite good:) I think...

    Toilet paper on the camino

    Women & others who squat to pee, be bold & use a Stand To Pee device. They are discreet & can eliminate the paper trail. I just returned from the Camino Frances & loved using the pStyle. It is designed to also wipe - no Kula cloth or toilet paper needed.
