Toilet Paper

So, yes, you guessed it. This Post is about Toilet paper. (I got the image from here)

I personally have a lot of thoughts and feelings regarding TP. Since I have spent over the course of my life a LOT of time sitting on the toilet and having nothing else to think about besides.

I never thought that it was strange to feel complete joy and satisfaction with quality toilet paper until I actually discussed it with another person.

Some people could care less how soft or thick their TP is, since it just gets discarded into the bowl anyway. I personally have guidelines that must be followed when purchasing it.

1. It must not feel like sand paper. Softness is a must.

2. It should really be two ply, and if it must be only one ply, than it better be really SOFT, because otherwise, come on now..

3. It must be STRONG while maintaining its softness. Why would ANYBODY make toilet paper that is going to fall apart during use? And all I can think of is that it is less expensive, and to me, that is sad that everyone's bottoms have to suffer just to save money on toilet tissue.

Now I do not want you to think, that I feel everyone should spend LOTS OF MONEY to purchase decent toilet paper. I have found brands at the dollar store (both dollar tree and 99 cent only) that fit these requirements (four rolls for 99cents, the best brand I've found there is called Sofitelle).

If everything I have said so far you are saying to yourself could have definitely gone without saying, I would advise you to give your husband express direction when sending him to the store to buy TP or he won't follow ANY of the rules, and will come home with this:(in a 6 pack)

Then you will have 1000 sheets per roll of rough, horrible, fall apart in your hand tissue, that is supposed to resemble proper toilet paper... I think it is only the "smart choice" if you plan to use it to TP your neighbor's yard with some to spare.

The brand name shots are from the Virtual Toilet Paper Museum (yes there really is such a place!).

This museum also addresses other TP issues, such as Over or Under? which is the RIGHT way to put the toilet paper on the roll. (and for that matter, can you get your husband to even put it on the dispenser? I am still working on that one). They also have a section that discusses the History of toilet paper which I found interesting.

My favorite TP is Charmin Ultra Strong. :)
