I’ve had that happen many times… I don’t go out of my way to use the type that says it doesn’t leave the white marks but I definitely have changed the way I put my shirts on to avoid it happening. ---

You just need to get you some John Wayne toilet paper. 🙂 ---

Cottonelle Wet Wipes, or whatever they’re called, people. This will solve ass wiping problems in 90 percent of dopers. ---

> [@WhyNot](#): > > It’s Charmin, and…here’s the thing: have you ever noticed a product advertising that their product will eliminate a problem, when actually it’s actually that product which is the worst offender? That’s Charmin. It’s particularly soft and doesn’t have embossing to strengthen the sheets of paper and, yes, tends to make little rolls which fall off as you use it. I \*have \*had that problem with Charmin, and never had it with another brand of toilet paper. > > See also: underarm deodorants which advertise that they don’t leave white marks on your black dresses. Yup yup! I hate Charmin for that reason. It’s too thick with too many layers. I like most store brand TP. ---

> [@Coustralee](#): > > sounds like one of these advertising things where they invent a problem that doesn’t exist, so they can sell you a “solution”. It’s a genuine problem. I’m happy for you if its not one you suffer, but it’s real nonetheless. ---

My mom used Scott tissue for years, and I hated it!!! After living on my own, and many occasions needing to use a plunger for the “quality” tp, i.e. Charmin, Cottenelle,etc. I am using Scotts. It is better for low flow toliets. You get used to the “roughness” of it , especially when your employeer chooses to use THE cheapest, roughest tp ever created!!!
