Let's talk about TP.

In my personal bathroom, I leave the tp off the roller, and play with the spring-loaded roller.
I imagine it's a knife and I make a lot of "hyah!" sounds and stab myself in the gut to pass the time.

In the other bathroom, I put it on over the top.

Hey, if toilet paper is the only thing wrong with my day, I'm having a good day!

 

I have cats, but they've never played with the paper. It has to be over. If I'm sitting down and it is under, I'll switch it around while I'm there. I don't buy the toilet paper, so don't have a say (or huge care) in exactly what it is, though my wife buys unbleached (as it is better for the environment).

I'm definitely a folder as well.

 

"Toilet paper claw... Pickle claw!"

Also, another complaint to share: bathrooms designed in such ways that the roll is practically inaccessible from the porcelain throne. Come on, really?! Why bother putting it there in the first place?

 

Over. My mom would be LIVID if someone put it on the wrong way. It's now engrained.

 

I don't like to buy it at all. I make Seamaiden do all our TP buying. As far as I'm concerned, it should come wrapped in brown paper and dropped off in the dead of night so no one can see that you are being re-supplied.

 

Boyfriend and I had to have a TP discussion before I moved in. Even though I have cats and a puppy (none of them play with the TP), I prefer over - that's how it's been nearly all my life, and I like to be able to pee in the dark and still get what I need to clean up. I crumple - I find it more efficient than folding - increased surface area and so on.

I don't use cheap toilet paper. Boyfriend did before I moved in, and I actually bought him better TP so that I could stand using his bathroom. I prefer Cottonelle - usually the Ultra (purple) which is soft and cushy but also can take a beating. I actually prefer to blow my nose with that than with kleenex, usually.

As(s) for bad bathroom habits, a HUGE pet peeve of mine is not replacing the TP when the roll is done. My mother's house has 3 bathrooms - I've visited home before to find that ALL THREE had empty rolls on the holder, and a half-used roll sitting somewhere nearby. I don't understand what's so hard about taking a few seconds to pull the old roll off and put a new one on the holder. REALLY.

Every time I see this thread, I read it as "Let's talk about T F P."

Also, since several people have brought it up: the dogs don't touch it. The bathroom door is kept closed, though, since Benjen seems to enjoy stealing whatever's in the trash can. I did have a cat once who liked to take the end of the roll in his mouth and run with it, and his brother would absolutely destroy an extra roll if we left it sitting out. The dogs don't seem interested, though.

 

Over..under.. whichever way it goes on, it goes it. i agree that it looks better over, but..meh!

on the subject over toilet paper, and anal cleanliness, has/does anyone use a bidet or a bidet alternative?

my parents have a jet spray as part of the toilet seat, and i really do enjoy the spray burst it gives me. i leave the bathroom with the confidence knowing full well that my ass is really reallly clean. it does a much better job than toilet paper alone. TP is so yesterday.

 

I am indifferent to the over/under thing. It could be because we have ours sitting on a vertical spindle and don't have that particular issue.

More than single ply but less than triple.

 

I've never had the pleasure of using one, but I'm quite curious and wouldn't pass up an opportunity to sample.

Also on the subject of clean nethers, does anyone use those disposable wet wipes? The ex tried to convince me they were a good idea sometime last year and wanted to stock up on some, but I've always felt they are insanely wasteful, whether necessary or not.

Thoughts? Feelings?

 

I. Love. Bidets.

You don't see them much in the US, though.


On the wet wipes: I love them. Or rather, I love that extra clean feeling I get when I use them. I also feel ( ) like they are insanely wasteful, though, and stopped buying them.
