Loo Roll - what's the point in 'luxury' toilet paper?!?

DrFluffy

I'd rather spend a few more pence than have a chaffed !!!!!!

I use the cheapest but keep a pack of those wet wipe thingies for when my evilminded haemorrhoid is really playing up.

Even when I'm earning my millions as a chartered accountant, I think I'll continue buying the 'Basics' brand. My girlfriend and I use about a roll per day on average (you were just gagging to know that, am I right?), so roughly that's three 'Basics' 12-packs per month, costing £3.60 per month, or £43.20 per year. If I were to go up-market with the Andrex, it'd cost £186.24 for the same number of toilet rolls (432).

Granted, it's nicer on your bum, but are you willing to spend nearly £200 a year for the privilege of wiping your brown-eye with a brand name?

False economy - the cheaper the brand, the more you use.

I use Velvet triple layer toilet roll... because my bum's worth it! :rotfl:

We use one a day in my family (2 adult, 1 kid) and 2 a day with cheap stuff. I find ASDA and Tesco own brand (not value or smart price) just as good as premium ones.

Roll a day, sometimes more.

I swear they ate it at one point, but it just seems that women (or at least those I shared with) used excessive amounts of toilet roll for each trip to the bathroom.

Mind you, I couldn't be bothered arguing with them, I just bought cheap toilet roll

According to Gillian McKeith (that bizarre, mutant, self-styled 'dietician' who condemns the eating of anything not in the vegetable/fruit family), you should only use about two sheets per poo if you are eating healthily, since your choccy logs will make a nice clean exit, leaving behind minimum !!!!!!-treacle. In this sense, there is no 'false economy'.

I myself prefer to wipe until mud no longer dirties cloth. Perhaps this goes some way to explaining my excessive roll-use. Actually, I also like to wipe the seat with, say, six or seven sheets, and then carefully place these at the base of the toilet in order to avoid splashback. In this way, I am looking at perhaps 25-30 sheets per tom-tit.

Now I know where all my wonga goes... :rolleyes:

One word: Anusol.

Kiss goodbye to your grapes with Anusol (TM).

I use cheapo toilet roll. My backside has never complained...

I buy the middle of the range stuff - used to get the cheap stuff when we were worse off, but it's not very nice.

tesco's or Asda's soft range is around £1.50 for 4 rolls which the family uses in a week.

But always good to keep an eye open for offers....
