Here in the aerie we use Charmin regular 2 ply. It has the primary advantage of being available in bulk in the warehouse where I shop. Plus it’s soo soft, natch.
Are you all savages or something???
I use 100% terry cloth hand towels (the kind without lint). Then I wash them with detergent and bleach after each use.
You might make me weak and wanton but I have to go with your SO as far as TP is concerned.
I buy Scotts. Always. The other stuff is soft and cushy and everyone seems to want to shove about two pounds of it down my old pipes… it just plugs everything up and makes a shitty mess. Sorry for the “blue” words honey but that is the way it is.
The Scott tissue may be “rough” but I’ve found that folks are more lenient with their use of it. They use what they need and flush without the “bulk” of the other stuff.
Gee, I never would have thought I would be expounding on the benefits of TP but YOU forced me to.
And you STILL make me weak and wanton but I don’t like your TP choice. I hope we can STILL be friends… or whatever!
Best!

You can have the Pirates, if you want 'em. Or would that make you guys use rotary sanders?
Everything considered, this month’s CR Ratings:
Charmin Ultra, Albertson’s soft, Kleenex Cotonelle, Safeway Select, Charmin Free, Charmin, White Cloud (best buy), Quilted Northern, Target etc
Another Scott person checking in. It’s cheap, one roll lasts darn near a week, and it’s perfume & dye free. I can’t use the stuff with pretty colors & scents. I get bladder infections from that stuff.
My dad’s wife uses that Kleenex ripply stuff, though, and I will admit that it feels pretty good!
I have a hairy ass. I have a problem when I go to the bathroom that has been described by others with a similar problem as “trying to get peanut butter out of a shag carpet.” My #1 criterion for TP is STRENGTH. I could care less about so-called absorbancy (though strength and absorbancy are sometimes related) I want some TP that will hold up well enough for me to effectively clean my asshole of any offending debris. I also have a fecal-phobia (really, I have an AWFUl reaction to the stuff not explainable by simple disgust) and I need a TP that will stand up to the rigors required to clean my ass. For that purpose, Scott will NOT do. Oh sure, it probably does FINE for cleaning up the female plumbing after she pees, but my hand goes right through it when I try to wipe my ass. If you notice the way the polling has been going so far, it’s ALMOST exclusively women who support Scott. Men by far want a TP much more suited to cleaning up after a good dump.
Oh, a good recommendation for the guys with a similar problem as me: Baby wipes. Don’t use them for the first few wipes, but they are very good at chasing away the Klingons if you catch my drift. I got hooked on them a few years ago, and they are now a required bathroom accessory.
A phaser setting of 16 does a pretty good job too.
Oh my hell. That’s it - I am not sleeping tonight. :eek:
BTW, as I read this thread, I was reminded of a trip to Czechoslovakia just after the fall of Communism. The TP there was so rough that you could literally see flecks of tree bark. It came down to a choice of what you wanted left on your ass - blood or, well, you know. Nasty stuff.
I use the Scott tp too. The other stuff clogs up my toilet not to mention I have to change the role every couple of days. With the Scott stuff, I can put it on the roll and forget about it except for when guests come over and change the roll from under to over. You’re in the there for 2 minutes! Leave my tp alone dammit!
Where was I? Oh yes, I bought Charmin once. The grocery store didn’t carry Scott. I used it a couple of times and went back to my regular brand. It was too soft. Too cushiony. I couldn’t tell if cleaning myself or just running it lightly over my bum.
Yet another female who uses Scott tp. I dislike using “pillowy soft” paper because it feels so wrong (like trying to write with my left hand) and because of flushing issues. When I go into a fluffy tp user’s bathroom, I know I’ll be flushing prematurely and often to avoid having to look for a plunger. Anxiety sets in if no plunger is visible.
Ultra Charmin Double Roll, without a doubt.
Did I dream it, or did I once buy Triple Roll? I don’t see it on the grocery shelves but it sure seems like I did.
Why dont they make guy size TP?
A sort of bidet, which washes your butt, would be nice. I wonder why they went out of style in the US?
you know what people I was feeling kinda of depressed today, then started reading this thread, oh the joys of choosing tp.
