Yeah, and what's with the whole "squeezably soft" thing? Who da' hell wants soft tissue? That means you gotta wipe up your ass more often. It's a pain in the ass to wipe your ass with Charmin.

I prefer Charmin Ultra Plus. I also have Crohn's so I go more often than most people. Alot more!!

Northern is my second choice. It is also soft but the Charmin has aloe in it that soothes the savage butt.

Scott is like using sandpaper.

I agree, it just scrapes that arsehole clean . . . my favorite.

Charmin is finger through the paper crap then you go to smell your finger to see if you got any poop on it and you accidently touch your nose. . . what a pain in the . . .

i'm just saying, with today's technology, you'd think mankind could manufacture TP that tears away appropriately at the perforations. then you've got the TP that leaves its own trace fuzz. other considerations are that if the TP is thick, i only require 4 squares. if thinner, 5+ squares is a must. oh, and my biggest pet peeve in the world...TP installed the wrong way!!!:mad::mad::mad:

surely we as humans can agree the paper should be grabbed by the front versus reaching down beneath the roll itself to grab the free-hangin' pieces. oh, and then sometimes TP rolls can be a pain in the ass by mimicing packaging tape. WHERE THE HELL IS THE END PIECE?:mad:

For me, it's the $5 double roll 12 pack at Dollar General which works like a champ. No fingers busting thru and no reason for me to stray back to the "boutique" brands. Awhile back they were out and I had to resort to some $7 4-pack of crap paper that maybe made it thru 2 sit-downs per roll that might have well been self destructing paper once it touched the zone. That sucked.

Nothing like being satisfied with your butt wipe material, though. It can make or break your day. :D

Walgreens Single-Ply is the way to go.

Single ply, but resilient; tough enough to get the job done, and done right the first time !


And, as a side note, toilet paper should be "Over the ToP", not the other way.

URGENT UPDATE:
Charmin now has a product called Ultra Strong. My wife brought some home this week and I've had a chance to give it a few test runs.

This is some strong fu*(ing TP! No problem with finger blow-thru like the regular Charmin, which I cannot stand! Its so strong and absorbent, you will end up feeling safe to use only a single thickness of the stuff, even on that first, nastiest, wipe! It doesn't ball up like the regular Charmin either. Nobody likes TP wad Klingons!

It is a little rougher than Quilted Northern though, so that is still my preference. I just can't get my stubborn wife to buy it lately.

Don't waste another perfectly good sock, for mother nature provides for our needs in a wonderful manner. Trees are full of quite effective wipes. My personal preferences run to Magnolia and Rhododendron. Thick enough to avoid tearing like those whimpy Mapels are prone to do, Have the proper elongated shape for a full stroke, and just the right amount of roughness on the back sides to do an effective job of collection without smearing. One word of warning, stay away from vines with leaves in a cluster of three.
