Which brand of toilet roll do you prefer?

[Johnny Canuck3]

Never use the stuff. Smearing your shit around with parts of a dead tree until it's dry-- and then walking around like that all day-- is revolting. I do the great majority of my pooping near a ready supply of soap and water.

Thank goodness for the rest of humanity, that you live in a rural area.

 

[Y_I_Otter]

I do. Every day!

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

I do. Every day!

I recall a bathroom in Sri Lanka. In place of toilet paper, there was a coffee can filled with water, with a stick in it. Is your setup something like that?

 

[Detroit City]

I buy whatever's cheapest, and has the largest number of squares per roll..

i thought your printed out urban threads on rice paper and used that to wipe your bottom

Don't want to rub ink into my 'roids.

I prefer Andex ofcause, who wouldn't? BUT I still voted on all the rest too. Sorry for ruining this obviously very important poll..

what is one expected to do with the stick ?

It's paper designed to wipe your ass with, then flush down the toilet. I try not to put too much thought into it.

This is me too !

I don't even look at the names. I look at the prices along the bottom of the shelving, and once I find the lowest ones, I look at the sheet-per-roll info on the packaging, and get the most, for the least.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

I'm not from Sri Lanka.

But I suspect it's where the term 'shit end of the stick' comes from.

Nothing like that. Think: many face cloths (black) dedicated for the purpose, one for washing one for drying, lidded diaper pail, and frequent laundering. In a perfect world we'd have a bidet, I suppose.

 

[berniedicters]

I get the low-price Cien stuff from Lidl.

Toilet paper shouldn't be aspirational.

 

[berniedicters]

It's very definitely long overdue to get my DIY bidet seat off the ground - I use much too much paper - and flushing water.

Wise. I think ground-level bidets would be both impractical and uncomfortable.

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

i use the ones made from recycled paper
there is no poll option for me

 

[idioteque]

I prefer the good stuff like Andrex, but restrict myself to buying the cheaper supermarket own brand stuff.

I recall the first time I saw a bidet, in France, and thinking how much sense it made. It's as if we in the anglo saxon world want to pretend that the crotch doesn't exist.

 

[Y_I_Otter]

There's no room for one in the main bathroom and the ground-floor bathroom's just a closet with a toilet and a sink in it.

We do keep toilet paper on hand though, for visitors and for runny noses.

 

[gentlegreen]

With remote control.

Yep I buy recycled packs. I tend to go for the multi-pack which often has 3 free in it.

 

[Madusa]

It's lovely innit? I just sit there sniffing it, even when i don't need a pee or owt

lol, anecdote for you, Annie. When I was about 9 I had a mad mad crush on one of my older brother's best friends... being a somewhat wayward child that I was, I just remembered that I once told him that he smelt of toilet paper to try and chat him up (him being about 17 at the time.)

I still see him sometimes at family events - he's now living in Germany, designing for Adidas, super successful. Let's just hope he doesnt remember that 'compliment' I once paid him.

[Madusa]

Yeah but iirc, he *really* did smell like (unused) toilet paper!!

Wonder if he still does? Any chance you'll meet him again and have a sniff?

He and my brother are still really close so he still comes to my nieces and nephews christenings, parties, etc. I hope his longterm partner wouldnt mind if I copped a whiff - for old times sake.

Supermarket Recycled.

Don't forget to report back if you cop a whiff, i need to know now

 

[Madusa]

innit, lol. I need to know NOW if he still smells like toilet paper. I think that was half the reason I had a crush on him.

God, what idiotic things I own up to sometimes.
