As reluctant as I am to participate in such a thread, I just wanted to tell ratatoskK that yes, there is. Plain old Scott tissue. Not the “New, improved softer, thicker” stuff. The single ply stuff one finds in many public facilities.
Down South, things are much simpler.
You have 3 corncobs, 2 red ones and one white one.
The white one is to see if you need the third red one.
I can’t believe I just wrote this. :o
I swear by Cottonelle. The one with the ridges. Not to soft, not linty, and not too rough.
Yes, you did.
I usually go for what’s cheap, but two-ply. You Yurpeans prolly don’t know what that is. You generally use what we Americans call Manilla paper. Our kids draw on it in school.
No, really, I did not expect descriptions of turd textures. I don’t know what I was “hoping” for, but I don’t think it was that. Oh, well, 1st Amendment and all that…
Ditto, and it’s absorbent. Charmin is soft, but it isn’t very absorbent. It’s akin to using a towel that has too much fabric softner and after you get out of the shower it just sort of spreads the water around. Charmin does that.
(that wasn’t TMI was it?).
I was just wondering what this extra strong stuff was yesterday. The only thing that occurred to me was, “Do they think I’m planning a jailbreak?”
Cottonelle claims to be hypoallergenic, but I’m allergic to it. Explain that one. hehe
Anyone else allergic to certain types of butt-wipe? Not a fun place to have an allergic reaction I tell ya!
I learned of this product right here on the 'Dope a few years ago. While I haven’t tried it myself, you gotta love their philosophy;
ROFLMCFO! 
I also like Cottonelle, but has anyone else noticed that the ridges have become much smaller lately? What’s up with that? And Target no longer seems to carry the triple rolls either! Do they think I have time to change the roll every ten minutes?
In answer to the OP’s question, yes, it does. It’s too soft and not strong enough.
That’s why we use Quilted Northern.
(I love the quote from somebody else in a recent thread about harsh TP: “It’s that John Wayne toilet paper. It’s rough, it’s tough, and it doesn’t take shit from anybody.”)
Thick, quilted TP is evil. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Fluffy white residue.
For some reason I need a certain level of “scratchiness” in my TP. Fluffy toilet paper leaves cigarette-shaped rolls in my bits.
Now, corn cobs? That’s truly a civilized thing: cleanses, scratches, untangles.
Yeah, the linty residue is bad. It sticks to skin you want no lint near. Charmin is the only tp on the “do not buy again” list.
I hate the overpriced tp brands like Charmin or Cottenelle… linty bits be damned!! I buy the Target brand tp double rolls. It is supposedly comparable to Northern, but I think it is way better and cheaper.
Is that ShitBegone stuff for real? I so want a sticker
I’m probably gonna regret asking, but how do you know if your ass is “linty”? I mean, I scrub away like anybody else in the morning shower, but I’m not tracking or examining whatever comes off – unless it blocks the shower drain.
After some experimenting today, I found that the Charmin Ultra Strong is usable if you pull off your length of TP and then separate the layers, and then put it back together again and use it to wipe. Something about separating those quilted-together layers makes it softer.
Sort of.
If you don’t mind sitting there patiently peeling layers of toilet paper apart before you can wipe.
It’s the curly tail that’s causing the problem.
Three words.
Cottonelle Moist Towlettes.
I’ll never go back to regular TP again.
You can have my moist toweletts when you pry them from my cold dead hand.
As someone who was also once on iron supplements, I know exactly what you mean. It was the same consistency as tiling caulk, and just as stubborn to remove.
