so, i got some crappy TP feels like sand paper to use. wondering what the consensus on an important topic like this is... lol
 
I voted soft, but really I don't like soft either. I really prefer a strong toilet paper. The pillowy soft ones tend to leave my butt-forrest looking like a flocked christmas tree, or so I imagine. And since I don't want to try making Dingleberry Wine, I don't really have much need for them.

I really hate cheap toilet paper that rips mid-sheet when pulling it off the roll. These are the kind that usually results with a finger in your brown-eye. This is especially bad with single-ply. I know to use double the amount of single as I do for 2x-ply, but it still seems like sh!tty bum-wipe - pun intended.

At home, my wife orders some environmentally friendly cheek-cleaner made from sustainable bamboo. I really like it, because I know that every time I wipe my @ss, I save the planet a little. In fact, yesterday alone, I helped save the planet 3 times. And I feel a sense of pride when I can say, "I just finished my morning coffee, I'm off to save the planet!"
 
i like using baby wipes the best, clorox wipes, or armorall wipes will do in a pinch.

ArmourAll? don't you just use that when the doc gives you ColonBlow 4000, and you got a colonoscopic the next day? lol
 
ha ha ha, yeah i forgot to mention the 4x4 shop wipes for those greasy messes lol

you mean like when you over shoot your strike temp and mash at 16xf, get a lot dextrins and high FG....and it runs right through you?

i learned that lesson the hard way before i knew i had to ALSO use gluco to make 100% rice beer...had a OG like 1.064, FG 1.04x=squirts from hell!

and i assure you, i definitely liked having the soft stuff for that few days....lol

I've been asking for years why it takes four times as much one ply as it does two ply! The obvious answer is that plies aren't universal, but still. At least it's still better than the one ply a lot of stores have in their bathrooms, that's about as absorbent as wax paper.
 
I use the wet type, typically 3-5 sheets depending on what I've eaten followed by a thorough polishing with a generous wad of cottonelle, then buff it out to a shine with cotton balls. I'd like to try 'One Wipe Charlies' someday, in spite of what this Gawker article implies about the wet TP 'movement' (hah!)

Rain-X. Minimal cleanup. Take my word.

lol, could make the up front investment in a bidet...save money in the long run...i think you'd just need to keep a hair dryer next to the pot too....

A brisk bidet rinse followed by blotting with tp, an elegant solution to an age-old problem. The year I spent in Rome opened my eyes as well as the old balloon knot to a higher state of being.
