Charmin is terrible. The shit flakes apart and gets everywhere. Lord help you if you want to wipe away piss with it; you'll have more smegma than... well, I don't honestly want to know where smegma is common, but let's just say you'll have a lot.

Seriously. I mean, what are you guys doing with your butt cheeks and ass hair that is preventing a turd from making a clean getaway? I shower daily, and as a result I always make sure that there are no hairs knotting across my chocolate starfish to impede the flow of cable. And when I sit on the toilet, I don't mush my cheeks together; in fact, I make sure that I pull them apart before I apply my ass to the throne. One gentle push, and the toilet snake makes a clean break for the porcelain wilderness.

Done correctly, and assuming one is doing a regular turd and not a green apple splatter, there shouldn't be any residual poo on any part of your date, unless your poo contains corn, traces of nuts, or you haven't been patient enough to pass the entire complete cable in one motion. Most skidsmear results from someone pinching off a loaf mid-bake, which means your sphincter has to cleave through the nugget, thus getting faeces where there needn't be any. A good poop is a patient poop, and one should let the entire Baby Ruth slide free of its own accord, without being tempted to bite into its noughgaty goodness. This results in the rectum and sphincter working in perfect harmony; the slight eversion of the ring prevents external contamination, so only minimal wiping, if any, should be required. At most, a couple of squares of TP on the end of a finger, wiggled gently at the back door of Aperture Science is all you should need.

Of course, it's always a good idea to get a good quality TP, and not a cheap Clint Eastwood brand that doesn't take **** from anyone...

Wow...

so here it goes:

normally, a wad of TP is 3-4 sheets thick. Upon butt contact, the first layer of the wad sticks and tends not to move. The 2nd sheet tends not to hold onto the 1st and subsequently slides over it. This loss of friction requires one to increase the force applied perpendicular to the area of contact (since friction is a function of the normal force). This increased force overcomes the tensile strength of the fibers holding the TP together.

hence, brown fingers.

QED

you guys need to stop gripping the toilet paper like its your schlong and you are holding on for dear life

Yeah, us Richie Riches really live it up, dropping $5.50 for an 8 double roll pack of Cottonelle...

There are many classes of Charmin TP. The "UltraSoft" in the blue wrapper is simply the best TP you can buy.

The other classes of Charmin (basic and ultra strong) do suck, though.

One bout of the recuring sh!ts and you'll quickly notice the difference between the better stuff and the cheaper crap.

I bought a big package of Cottonelle enriched with Aloe and E (sounds nice and soft right?) and it is the worst TP I've ever used. It is so incredibly weak... the slightest bit of friction against skin and the stuff rips apart. I had bought a big package of generic "soft" TP from my local grocery store (Publix) prior to the Cottonelle, and it was great. Was quite soft, but still quite sturdy. Was almost like a sponge-like material. I hate trying to wipe my ass and having to worry about getting stuff on my fingers because the TP is so flimsy.

Can't comment about Charmin though.

I use Zimbabwe dollars, much cheaper and it makes me feel like a badass.

Yeah, none of the Cottonelle variants are worth using (the one you mentioned and the Ultra)

I just bought some Charmin "Ultra Strong" and I really like it. It's soft enough and doesn't fall apart when I wipe the ol' keister. Has a good "bite" as per the OP's description too I'd say.

The stall didn't have any TP, did it?

I think that's how Hell would be like.

You just ate 4 spicy burritos that aren't sitting well, walk in to a stall with a few seconds to spare before shredding ass, and then realizing there's no TP...

Anywhere.
