Someone told me of using celephane (?) but said it was kind of a hassle because they had to take the whole roll (individual pre-cut pieces ripped or were impossible to take apart). Perhaps tin foil would work without adding too much bulk. < Why not use newspaper? Like the paper bag idea, this would not be a big hassle to the system where the stuff is eventually disposed of properly. Just because you have flushed it down the toilet, "out of sight, out of mind", doesn't mean that some one won't have to deal with all that plastic somehow. It wouldn't be welcome in a landfill, mixed with human waste. A large city's sewage "treatment" plant might not balk at it, but the average septic tank would choke on it big time. Newspaper is somewhat biodegradable, and doesn't take up much room, or cost anything either.
