Maybe some people WANT to wipe their bums with their fingers after they break through the crappy cheap TP. HUH? Did you ever think of THAT?

Yeah. I hear ya. You need to get a fistful of the stuff to even stand a chance.

The thing is, it's waaaaay cheaper than the good stuff. So by you doubling up when you use the thin stuff, it still saves companies money over buying 2-ply.

Just like the double-flush on those water-conserving toilets! :|

We always have 1 ply at my house, and I think its because we have a septic system and somehow that means we need the 1 ply stuff.

Every public restroom I have used has those disposable wax-paper like guards to prevent contact :)

1-ply sucks. We have at least 2ply all over the house. Problem with the whole system is I find my self tearing about like 4 -6 squares and folding them a bit to get more coverage and protection of the hand, and also to double up on strength.

Too much info? You be the judge.

1 ply floats higher in the air while you're walking with 6 plys coming out the back of your pants.

oh, and its cheaper to TP someones house with 1 ply.

1, 2, 3 ply, I don't care what it is, I always grab enough TP to cover m entire hand, and then repeat 7-8 times to makes sure all is clean down there.

I just use my hand as if it were a scoop covered with TP and scoop out the fecal matter with one swipe, fold and then swipe again. Repeat 7-8 times.

So you know, Charmin is one-ply. Scott also came out with their one-ply "Extra Soft" stuff recently. Regular Scott (1-ply tree bark) sells very well in my store for one reason or another. I know it's good for RVs, but I don't know who else would buy it repeatedly.

The likelihood of catching disease is very small. Plus, it's not like you shake hands with your ass.

So that you can work longer so that you can make more money so that you can....

Woah. Caught up in the 80's there.
 

quilted northern FTW

charmin rips apart and leaves little shrapnels of dingle and TP stuck in my crack
nothing more embarassing than getting busted standing in front of the mirror in the mens room picking TP out of your butt

EDIT: on 2nd thought....i can definately think of more embarassing scenarios

We don't really need to know what you do on your 'down' time. :)

And you mean to tell me you actually stand in front of your mirror picking toilet paper out of your behind?

That's sad.

If you cannot master the art of using 1-ply......... then all hope is lost for you ;)
