OMG this is what I moved here for.
This is a ****ty post.

I don't trust anyone that buys toilet paper in bulk quantities, then goes public with the quality. Just don't seem raht, Bubba . . .

LonnyP 03-21-2023 06:34 AM

Can the next study be which one leaves the fewest dingleberries?

Are you a crumpler or a folder?

This really is too much but worth a laugh early in the AM

I also use Sam’s Club Member’s Mark.

Charmin leaves dust all over the bathroom floor. Cottonelle is actually the best but isn’t as biodegradable as it should be. Please do not use Flushable wipes because they are not actually flushable. They might make it passed your pipes but they don’t break down and create problems down the sewer lines.

Are you right- or left-handed?

natalierp 03-21-2023 07:52 AM

We order Reel Bamboo TP, love it 24 rolls $35 but use less of it because it is good.

Blackbird45 03-21-2023 07:52 AM

On a serious note
 
We bought a bidet about 5 years ago.
It was about $600.
It does a much better job than toilet paper.
It washes, dries, and if you are having a problem, it even has a setting for an enema.
If saving money is your goal, that is the way I would go.

Toto is the way to go. Won’t need any tp, just pat yourself dry

airdote22 03-21-2023 08:06 AM

TP plugs up the old septic system lines

If you can afford the best toilet paper and yet don’t buy it, your beneficiaries will.

I agree.

banjobob 03-21-2023 08:31 AM

Now. You’ve done it , let out that Members Mark is the best. Probably be sold again

Wondering if it was worth it in the end. Butt then you really have to consider the bottom line.

You should start a toilet paper club!

RUCdaze 03-21-2023 08:56 AM

This is by far the best post I've ever read on Talk of The Villages. I howelled at some of the replies, and the suggestion of using both sides of the TP to save money will go down the toilet as a classic!

I agree with you and I know you were just sharing to help others. Thank you.

Started using a bidet while in Japan on business. Just about every toilet there has one, even hotels. Both of my toilets have bidet seats and it's the best thing ever for the health and well being of your nether region. I bought Brondell Washlet 300's. Only complexity is you need a dedicated outlet near the toilet to plug it in.

You can sign up for the “Toilet Paper of the Month” club…


6 Super Soft Toilet Paper of the Month Subscriptions | Food For Net

You see, the Villages isn’t the only place where there is a club for everything

DennisDee 03-21-2023 11:25 AM

What about using the "three shells" from 'Demolition Man' movie (Sly Stalone, Sandra Bullock, & Wes Snipes)?

You can purchase one for less than $40 that you can easily install yourself with one or two tools.

And meet whenever someone gets a movement.

Go to the Home Depot and get s bidet kit for your water closet then you don't have to worry about toilet paper anymore.

Michael G. 03-21-2023 12:06 PM

Ever hear the one about the two wealthy Texans went into separate bathroom stalls.
One yelled: "There's no toilet paper in here."
The other answered from the other stall: "Just use a dollar."
He yelled back: "How am I suppose to wipe my @ss with 3 quarters, 2 dimes, and a nickel."

Traveling in Thailand you learn that the hotels, malls, etc. of the larger cities have bathroom facilities as modern as anything in the world but that in small-town and rural Thailand things are somewhat different. The traditional toilets are still common: a flat ceramic hole in the floor with two footpads, over which you squat and do your thing. Some of the larger ones have rows of stalls, walls but no doors, with a slow-flowing trough of water flowing by the front of each ceramic fixture. The whole place is built at a slight tilt so the water does actually run, albeit quite slowly. Thais use the left-hand method, rinsing in the trough. Always best to be in a stall as far upstream as possible. You flush with a small pitcher of water scooped from the trough.

A concession to the farang who visit: no toilet paper is supplied but they assume you bring your own (you only forget once). They supply a small container for used paper.

Chanel #5, it is not…

There is a former travelling professor of German and English who taught in various cities in China who described some of the toilets in China and some of them sound like those in the rural areas of Thailand. The man lives in the Villages.
