Toilet paper. Something we use everyday but don't spend much thought on. Now, imagine if it hadn't been invented.
The first documented use of toilet paper in human history dates back to the 6th century A.D., in early medieval China. Only by the 1300s had its use begun to spread, but still only the extremely wealthy were able to afford it. Elsewhere in the world, in places like Italy, paper was simply dismissed as an ineffective way to clean up.
