Toilet paper, do you really care

I find strength is what matters most. I have a hairy butt so it's like passing toilet through a cheese grader up there. There was this one brand I bought where it was very strong, best toilet paper ever... I wish I remembered where I got it, though. It had a rougher texture to it, but it did not rip as easily.

Then there's Chuck Norris toilet paper for when you're really stuck. Those brown paper towels. It's rough, it's tough, and it does not take shit from anybody.

Paper's not good for cleaning, it's better for drying.

After using these in other countries, I don't know why I haven't had one all my life. This model has been very reliable for me.

I seriously want to try one of those some day. The concept is great. We generate so much useless trash via our heavy use of toilet paper. Makes more sense to clean with a high pressure jet then just use the toilet paper to dry.

I always see these commercials talking about how soft their TP is and how good it feels blah blah blah. Do people really care that much? I buy TP from Costco the Marathon brand, its fine, its not like I run around with TP stuck up there for comfort, wipe and done.

I'm sure Costco items are pretty good quality already, so you're not actually using the industrial economy single ply that you find in many work buildings.

Also, TP is one thing I don't mind spending a little more on given how much use I get out of it.
 
I've accidentally bought "basic" paper before and it's completely unusable. It simply doesn't remove the shit.

I also don't understand the Charmin commercials, which imply that people have a problem with bits getting stuck to their backside. WHO has this problem? I have never had such a problem. It doesn't even make sense.
 
When I was in Germany in the late 1970's, I spent a few weeks cross-training with a British contingent. It took one day with them to make me go to the closest American base and buy some "real" TP. The damned Brit troops were making do with some sort of waxed paper crap that was flocked with a tp-fuzz on one side. Absolutely miserable stuff.

I made quite a few friends---they loved the American tp and booze.
 
I've been using walmart's white cloud ultra for the last year or so. I used to use the costco/kirkland brand or quilted northern ultra plush...I prefer the white cloud 🙂

If you live where the water gets really cold, you can get one that heats the water (heated seats and built-in dryers too). Here's one on the high end.

For most Americans, toilet paper is an absolutely necessary grocery list item, but some women are opting out for both economic and environmental purposes.
In a HuffPost Live discussion, bloggers Angela Davis, Kathleen Quiring and Makala Earley explain why they've decided to go paperless, revealing that it's not as messy or unhygienic as it may sound.
'It is definitely possible,' insists Mikala, who says she and her husband stopped using toilet paper about a year ago. 'It is almost seen as a necessity [and] it doesn't have to be, and it's been a lot of fun to learn how to do it this way.'
 
You will care when junk brands like charmin don't break down and get clogged in your sewer line and you get a backup.

DISGUSTING.

Cheap TP sucks. You need a giant wad of it to absorb your poop, whereas you only need 3 sheets with the good stuff. Also, softness matters. I don't like sandpaper on my butthole. And if you're feeling particularly bad, with frequent trips to the toilet, then irritation is likely to occur when you whipe with cheap TP that resembles recycled tree bark. Some nice, fluffy, aloe-vera infused TP is perfect for the active booty. Keeps your hands free from a mess, too. It won't break, slipping your fingers directly onto doodoo.

Buy good TP.

The fuck....am I the only person who doesn't understand how people use like 1 or 2 sheets to wipe their fucking shitty ass.... Like seriously I wrap up a stack of tp so that I got a solid base before I wipe. I think using a few sheets is disgusting. By the time my ass is shitless my toilet is on the verge of clogging.
