Lady attempts to make tissue paper
The TikTok user @nzilamiyoba shared her attempt, which involved shredding newspapers, blending them with water, and drying the mixture on a flat surface.
Nzilamiyoba revealed that her project was inspired by childhood experiences of using newspaper as a last resort.
She acknowledged that newspaper wasn’t the ideal material but saw value in exploring recycling methods to create softer, skin-friendly alternatives.
“Creating my own toilet paper is a practice that takes me back to when using newspaper was a common alternative whenever I ran out of toilet paper. Using newspaper isn’t the best as there are ways to recycle them into softer materials for the skin,” she said.
Although her intention was to demonstrate a homemade alternative, many viewers were disappointed by the final product.
Critics pointed out the resulting tissue paper’s rough texture, questioning its suitability for skin use.

“Hold the newspaper in your hands then do like you’re washing clothes. Before you know it, it would have already become soft just like baby soft toilet paper. Don’t mind my English, was in a hurry.”

“Remember back home in the villages there is no power and most people do not have the equipments like blenders to blend those newspapers etc.”
@Meyer Malyo commented:
“No hate but the end product looks to hard to be used. harder than the newspaper itself if you ask me.”

“Why did I just see this after I just ran out of toilet and shops are closed and I neeeed it.”
@Diana Mbuvi added:
“If I can’t access tissue paper, how will I access the materials you used to diy it?”
