Izal came in boxes which dispensed single sheets which were shiny/smooth one side and rough the other. I used to love the smell of coal tar soap. Like you I hated Victory V's....

Izal toilet paper! Yuk! yuk! Yuk! Hated the smell of it - I can smell it just thinking about it. Went with the chemical privy down the garden.
Brut - I always followed Our 'Enery's example and "splashed it on all over!"
I think I have used just about everything else on the list too. -

Hello

Thanks in advance

I think I used Wrights Coaltar soap, probably when I had acne as a teenager and tried just about everything.... Nope I remember now it was Coaltar shampoo that I used to use, I loved the smell of it.
My grandma had Izal toilet paper and her toilet was outside in the back yard which was freezing on the bum in winter without the added insult of Izal. Y'know, they still have that stuff (though it's not Izal the brand) in the public toilets in Blackpool - tsk.
My mum had a Hoover washing machine with a mangle on it, she used it for years, even when my sister was a baby she still had it and she was born in 1976!!
Victory V lozenges uggh yuk, they were vile.
