:rofl: true. I don't think math skills should be needed to buy toilet paper. Or should I be calling it Bath tissue now?

Yeah, but you can't get 'mansize'.

Look - just because I'm fond of sprouts, a curry or two and I love my beer I don't see what any of this has to do with my lavatory habits??? :confused:

Anyway, as a friend of mine who shall remain nameless once said - go at work and you win 3 ways:

1) Saves time
2) Saves bog roll
3) You get paid for it

:lol:

Actually it's bad for your tender parts. The white is bleached, so a natural green option would be okay too ... but the dye needed for the colors is the no no. :)

I think it is compulsory for you to buy Mega size honey 'cos according to many on this forum Houston is a "shit hole" so you need to stay well prepared;)

I have only just finished drinking all the water we were given after Ike last year and now you are already talking about this year...:banghead:

OK, this is really geeky, but I look at the shelf price tag, which has per unit pricing. It *should* help you get an idea to compare with. It's also helpful when there is a sale. :)

Agree.. the dyes in the colored paper can give some girls trouble 'down there'.

oops, late to the game, someone already said that. Can I just add 'lady garden' for no good reason? :p

Scott tissue paper is the best in terms of value and softness. I'd go with that one.

Just get the wax paper - you know it's the best.

I can't believe there's so much 1-ply knocking round the shelves over here. That's the stuff you've got to watch out for... :unsure:

I noticed that you were back and figured this thread was about your knockers. :sneaky:


Sadly it's not, but welcome back anyhoo ;)

Think yourself lucky. When I was a kid, we had yesterday's newspaper, stuck on a nail, in the outside bog.:eek:

I was a bit surprised to find one-ply on sale in the US and missed the quilted stuff I used to have in England, but then I thought "So what? I'm only going to wipe my arse on it!":D

Nope. Sadly not. However I noticed this HUGE thread in TIO about knockers of the day.

I'm thinkin' that having dyes around your hoo haa bits not good either, ie stick with white. Something even better would be that which is non bleached- the brown TP hues if they made 'em. Scandanavia was pioneering bleach free diapers, etc 20 years ago.

That's the same reason why you don't find scent on toilet paper, and not usually on feminine products (i.e. maxi-pads) either.

But you do find scented paper! And fem products.
Not good for the lady parts.
