Lavatory paper, toilet tissue, bog roll, bumwad, arse wipe, shit tickets; we all need it but I can’t find a good one for a reasonable price.

Obviously I don’t want the tracing paper you get in a public toilet, but it seems a waste to pay for the quadruple-velvet perfume-soaked premium nonsense. Supermarket own brand is soft enough but tends to fall apart. Who Gives A Crap is environmentally friendly but their basic stuff disintegrates immediately and their premium stuff is even more expensive than the fancy Andrex.

And no, there’s no room for a bidet.

    Costco toilet rolls are the superior product, my friends. Trouble is you get something like 48 rolls in a wholesale packet - so you need somewhere to stash them.

      Just buy a garden shed and fill it with bog roll. The next time there’s a pandemic, sell it to Australians as individual rolls for 10x market value. Like a sort of strategic reserve.

      Somewhere dry, in a sturdy container to protect it against pests.

      Which Costco also sells. Those 40+ quart translucent containers hold most of the 38 rolls you get from them.

      (I’ll admit to a little sarcasm - it’s funny Costco sells these giant packs of bog roll, and also sells you the box to store it in. Irony, right?)

        Quart? I’m not storing a bushel of grain to be inspected by the lord of the manor!

        Seriously though I do love efficient storage containers and would happily fill the house with them.

    I go with quilted. Not artisinal, hand-crafted, 8-ply quilted with a 3000 thread count of Egyptian cotton, but… heh… wait for it… bog standard supermarket own brand quilted. See what I did there? No? I’ll let myself out.

    I started ordering from Who Gives A Crap. It’s decent toilet roll, and the roll is solidly packed, so you get plenty in a single roll.

      It’s gone up in price so much though! I do apreciate it just arriving at my door instead of having to go to the shop and drag TP back every few weeks.
