If you are changing the roll that often, I have to wonder why your toilet isn’t constantly clogged. I do just fine with Scott brand 1000 sheets, and between two daily shitters (one male, one female) in the house, we change the toilet paper roll once every couple of weeks.
I don’t really have a big preference when it comes to toilet paper, and tend to buy Scott brand because it’s inexpensive and works well enough. I’ve tried Publix brand stuff before, and it was okay, but I always have to wonder about the people who buy tinted and scented toilet paper.
We actually use Charmin…but not the ridiculously thick stuff, just their regular cheap-ass buy-in-large-packages TP from Sam’s. I prefer it because it doesn’t fall apart when I use it; it doesn’t leave lint or anything else on me. Of course, these days I’ve converted to the wet wipes, which are the best invention ever – baby wipes for adults! Yeah!
If it was just me, I’d only have to change the roll every week or two. I use as small a quantity as I need, usually not more than 3-4 squares. Unfortunately, I live with a man who feels that using half a roll at a time is barely sufficient. So in the bathroom I mostly use, I go through 1-2 rolls out of each package of nine; the other 7-8 disappear in the bathroom he mostly uses. It never ceases to amaze me. I even started a thread on it once, and was assured by every guy in the thread that it’s a guy thing. Why I will never understand.
I’ve tried the Cottonelle, Charmin, all those others … none of them are as good as, imho, good old Scott Tissue, the old 1000 sheet rolls (which last longer too!). I must confess, though, that I have succumbed to the Cottonelle wipes; they are indeed a godsend! But I use them together with the TP–the wipes are just a teensy bit too wet to use by themselves, at least for me. I call them hiney wipes … my spell checker keeps telling me that I’ve mis-spelled, though.
Linty bits?
Fluffy white residue?
Cigarette-shaped rolls?
Don’t you people know that their proper name is “dingleberries?”
p.s. while we’re on the subject…What do Charmin and the Starship Enterprise have in common?
As far as the wipes go, I find a quick pat-dry with paper after the wipe is just perfect. I could live without doing it, but I feel better on some level if I do. I guess my behind just isn’t supposed to be damp, even if it’s nice and clean.
I only flush them one at a time. I only use them one at a time anyway. I have had no plumbing problems whatsoever.
Dingleberries? Gross! I still prefer “fluffy white residue.” I can tell if there’s lint because I can FEEL IT. And no, I’m not super-sensitive. I can feel the puffy stuff falling apart in my hand instead of remaining in one solid sheet like it’s supposed to!
In fact, I’m often surprised at how so many people complain how about any non-puffy, non-quilted TP is “like sandpaper.” Honestly, then, do you never ever use the bathroom away from home? Do you carry your own TP? Is your ass really that precious?!
I used the bathroom at my daughter’s house tonight and found myself shouting out, “Oh, my God, the Dope was right!” when I discovered she has purchased the thick Charmin. I swear, I raised her as a Cottonelle girl…I blame that boy she’s living with. And you are right…it’s like wiping with Bounty. She likes it because she says she can use less. I swear, the pod people have stolen my baby and replaced her with this…this…girl who cooks! She made a great dinner, but the TP just freaked me out!
I’m still laughin’ at this!
