If you're my age or older, you may remember a time when these things were common in the United States:
They vanished long ago on that side of the Pond, of course; people thought they were unsanitary, and in truth they were if the cloth jammed and couldn't be pulled down, which happened frequently.
But over here they are still very common. I'm not sure why -- inertia, maybe (which gets back to my previous post), or maybe they're perceived as more eco-friendly. Nonetheless if you're an American, this is one of the weird things about living here.
I do love the brand name on this one, though.
