How about this method?

I'm a vegan so I never need to wipe my ass. All the kale and granola pops out smoothly with no mess - 100% natural!

You know there is some truth to this. So many people eat disgusting amounts of meat with little to no fiber that they need to waste time on the toilet reading.

Never mind the nasty poo flakes getting on the book, but they are wasting days of their life on the throne when they could be outside.
 
Agreed, OP.

I prefer the kind of "commercial" TP you find in public restrooms. Not only is it cheaper, but it doesn't break up and leave debris when in use. There is no need for super soft toilet paper, and I think the desire for it is mostly a response conditioned by marketing. Does your asshole HURT if you don't use soft toilet paper? No, it doesn't.



Really depends, doesn't it? Go live with Crohn's or ulcerative colitis, have to wipe your ass 12X or more a day during an outbreak, then come back and talk to me. Charmin Ultra is the only stuff we use specifically because of the aforementioned UC.
 
OP forgets that some people fold instead of wad. Soft cleans better when folded (much more "friction"), which also solves the durability issue. Smooth only cleans well enough when wadded.
 
That is the most ass backward way I've seen to take a shit. And I thought Muslims only did that, seriously! They can only wipe with the left hand and sit like that then they have to say a prayer afterwords.

Not to mention your left with a wet ass that's gonna be very uncomfortable the rest of the day, and for god's sake put a chair with a hole in it, that has to be extremely uncomfortable squatting down like that.
