Toilet Paper - revisited
I can’t help it. It is becoming a real obsession. Now I have another TP issue to discuss. Long time readers know this has been an ongoing obsession and compulsion with me and new readers can catch up by reading the posts Again with the Toilet Paper, Back to the Bathroom and Toilet Paper Usage and see that this craziness goes way back for me.
I am sitting and watching my favorite show Heroes and the commercial comes on for Charmin Ultra. It is now extra absorbent. It holds 4 times more moisture than the leading brand therefore you use less TP. I don’t know about everyone else but I am not using my TP like a Bounty towel. I am not cleaning up spills or washing windows with my TP. I am wiping my ass. I don’t need it to be thick and absorbent, I need it to be a quicker wiper upper. Not to get too gross but my bowel movements are not wet runny messes. If yours is, then maybe this TP is for you and you should see a doctor. Mine, they tend to be somewhat on the firm side where the need for absorbency is not an issue.
I don’t understand why one would need to buy toilet paper that is super absorbent and only gets about 12 squares to a roll. I would think that is a waste. Give me the 1000 sheet stuff that I can wad up and wipe with without the worry that I have to change the roll after every visit to the bathroom.
Maybe it is a guy thing. Maybe women need the extra absorbency. I can’t understand why. There are a lot of things about women I don’t understand but that is a post or 7 for another day. What I do know is that this TP obsession of mine out of control.
Now that I have that off my chest, where is my newspaper? I have to drop the Browns off at the Superbowl.
Some of that super absorbent stuff is not good for septic systems either! And while it is surprising to you that you have all these little obsessive tendencies about the toilet paper - what is really surprising is that WE, your loyal readers, keep coming here to read about them! LOL. Oh, and I hadn’t heard that one about dropping the Browns at the Superbowl before - good one!
I am suprised at my 4-6 loyal readers that keep coming back. It reminds me of an old saying - Who’s more foolish? The fool or the fool who follows?
I’m so glad that you have regular, firm bowels. I will sleep tonight knowing so :]
I don’t think it’s a woman thing to have super absorbant TP. I dont really care as long as it doesn’t feel like sandpaper because I ‘d like to keep my butt soft.
I don’t like super absorbent fru-fru toilet paper. I like Scotts, regular old toilet paper.
P.S. I think you need to talk to a TP counselor, you are out of control!
I know. My TP obsession is out of control.
hee hee!
well i don’t necessarily need super absorbent TP either (who does???!!) but i definitely don’t like scratchy toilet paper that rips apart easily…
rofl! Nope, not a woman thing. Anyway not with me. I always wonder why the Northern needs to be quilted, myself…
[...] October 19, 2007 I recently purchased the new Verizon Gleam. I like its features and how slim the phone is. It has great sound and is a great improvement over my old phone. What I don’t like about the phone is where it has to be charged. There is this little tiny opening or slot that you have to place your fingernail into to get to where you insert the charger. For most people this is not an issue but for me, I am a terrible nail biter. Yes, it is true. I have a complusion other than Toilet Paper. [...]
