Whenever I purchase toilet paper, I feel that there must be a brand or product that everyone else knows about, but me. I often find that the toilet paper I buy (e.g. Quilton) doesn't seem to measure up to expectations (which leaves me feeling pretty browned off, I don't mind saying).
So, what brand do you buy, OzBargain?
Second rule of toilet paper club is you do not talk about toilet paper club.
Forth rule of toilet paper club is you neg everyone that talks about the rules of the toilet paper club..
The fifth rule of toilet paper club is over, not under.
Under the balls is far superior to under the legs. It's far more efficient as your cheeks are already spread and you don't have to lean over or squat.
My favourite is Cotonelle.
@tren: You can wipe under your balls? How was I never told this? All of these years I've been doing the bend over…
@faceman54: Plenty of straining for no reason. You're not alone though, I only know a few people who use this godlike method. I think it really needs to be taught in schools.
@tren: Not sure about you, but my 2 lads hang rather low, how to prevent them from taking friendly fire?
Quilton 3 ply but not double length because it gets jammed in the roll holder when brand new.
1 tsp of psyllium husk a day and you won't even need toilet paper!
1 teaspoon of psyllium husk
1 cup of water
add food colouring of choice (optional)
4 - 5 mins in microwave
Allow to cool and
= instant slime (just like the old school slime!! even smells the same)
Doesn't it get itchy?
But this is Ozbargain… does it work out cheaper or not? What about for my family of six?
Yup, Quilton 3 ply standard length is the way to go!
until your sewage line gets clogged
until your sewage line gets clogged
The only part that softens the cost of a plumber clearing the sewage pipe is the dog next door jumping around trying to eat the raw sewage as it sprays out under pressure through the cyclone fence as the inspection cap is undone.
sounds like a pretty sh1t afternoon.. :P
I don't know why everyone is ripping on you. It says 'flushable'. If they aren't then the only people who should be getting blamed are the company and the ACCC for being lazy and toothless.
Anything that can be flushed down the toilet is 'flushable', but it doesn't mean it can't clog your pipes. 'Flushable wipes' are more susceptible to blockages than toilet paper as they don't disintegrate.

Yep, and that's why Sydney Water ran a massive campaign to inform customers the flushable wipes don't disintegrate quickly enough.
The water utility is threatening to take legal action to stop manufacturers of any wipes from saying they are flushable if the Australian Consumer and Competition Commission doesn't act quickly on a complaint by consumer group Choice. - From SMH article
The times they are a changing, including hygiene standards and products available to achieve them. Unfortunately sewerage systems have not kept up with the times and have remained pretty much unchanged since the late 1800's.
Maybe, instead have having a go at the manufacturers of flushable wipes, water companies need to invest in coming up with improved systems that handle todays products?

Oh, so to cater to these flushable wipes that don't actually disintegrate (because they weren't properly designed to), we should change the entire sewage to handle things that aren't supposed to be normally flushed…? The sewage system was meant for human waste and disintegrating toilet paper, not consumer products that don't work properly. Wasn't designed at the time to handle paper towels, tampons, condoms, or any form of solid rubbish.
This is the same argument as "Oh, maybe instead of teaching children that cars go fast, to NOT step onto roads, lets make everyone reduce their speed to a turtle around schools!". Putting the blame on the normal party when clearly the other party could be taught to not run across the road without looking, causing an issue.
Sydney Water is actually discussing suing people who advertise wipes as 'flushable' and some companies have removed it.
they do not break down, do not flush them. Even if it says flushable.
I usually buy Silken 3 ply from Big W.
Whatever is on spesh for the week.
+1 for the spesh, unless one of the kleenex's or Sorbent soft varietys are almost the same price, then i'll splurge!
Oh poo
It's wierd how people have this obsession with the throwaway items they use to literally wipe shit off their own arse.
I guess not being exposed to toilet paper advertising other than billboards and the like may have something to do with it (me finding it wierd).
I'd say there's a lot of "average" TP which is all fine, but if you've ever been to a public toilet and found they only had single squares of greaseproof paper …. :(.
Yeah i go the hold it in route rather than poo in a public toilet :D
I havent seen a public toilet with that square sheet paper for years now, all shops , park toilets etc have rolls now.

…shredded into confetti.

Yeah it's teflon coated. Have you noticed how it just slides as you wipe and nothing really sticks to it! Gross and frustrating.
My mum tells me that in the old days people would have to wipe their bum with newspaper, cut up into squares threaded on a string.
Even the worst quality public toilet stuff seems a better option than that.
When I was a kid I remember my grandfather having cut up squares of newspaper on a nail in his funny. He was old then - born 1897
Bring this back, who knows who youll wipe your bum with, Abbott or Turnbull! Or perhaps trump
@whodidthat:
Your wish has been heard:

We did that in the 60's!
It can leave ink stains on your bum though.
Is it all about size? lol
we use this stuff from aldi i think its about $3.69 for 4 rolls.
http://aldimum.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/11402712_95…
How much per 100 sheets?
Not really sure
Used to get the Aldi hypo-allergic stuff because I have some skin sensitivities. Since found their regular soft is also okay.
I use Diji1's stash
Get a Bidet with a blow dryer attachment.
Never have to buy TP again (True OzB)
@|005e
nice name.
Anyway what happens when
Get a Bidet with a blow dryer attachment.
and you go on holiday, do you tow it to the resort or ?
Only holiday in places with a bidet, obviously.
No paper touches this anus!
But you let things blow on it?
Do they really make them with a blow dryer attachment? If so could you recommend one? But hmm I dunno something about electricity and water makes my spidey senses tingle.
Like dishwashers, washing machines, hot water heaters.. A properly designed and manufactured product (i.e not Samsung lol) will be safe
Second the Bidet, then i use cottonelle because its thick and fluffy to dry afterwards. Sometimes i dont have time to let the blow drier finish and it can burn your bot bot sometimes.
Dont know why so many people laugh when i tell them i have a bidet (washlet), its so much better.
I only sh!t at work.
But seriously, sorbent on special and in bulk and delivered. https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/40191/40179/img_201606…
my work TP is shit
Well at least it's recycled.
Have you considered bringing your work TP home?
We have John Wayne toilet paper at work.
'don't take no crap from no-one'
Interestingly the triple negative preserves the original intended meaning. Consequently it mustn't be very effective. :/
Nah, I flush it.
With thst much TP, you are a man to trust not like others full of shit.
boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, that's why I poop on company time
Emporia
Agreed, I'm suprised I had to scroll down this far to see this recommendation.
Quilton use to be The Shit but quality has turned shit.
It turned shit when the supermarkets started the everyday low price.
it was pretty good for years, even with the everyday low price, but in the last year something has changed.
I have to agree . I thought that was just me
I tried it, but really didn't notice the difference. I wouldn't buy it at full price that's for sure.
I like Emporia too.
Not to get graphic but…
I'm a folder, with most of the regular TP, I need several squares folded to ensure no poke through.
Emporia, I can almost always get away with a single square without DESTRUCTION, and the texture is far more palatable.
The paper is a bit thicker, but the rolls last so much longer because you dont need anywhere near as much for the same result.
To build on that, a friend of mines little brother has prader willis syndrome, and one of the things he got obsessed with was hygiene, Emporia is the one brand that doesn't give him the shits, he's a bum ticket connoisseur, seriously people have been given a bum steer when it comes to TP.
There really isn't another choice.
bum ticket
Is that…is that slang for toilet paper?
Yes, yes it is
I can almost always get away with a single square without DESTRUCTION, and the texture is far more palatable
By "texture" I hope you didn't mean the texture felt through the finger from using only a single square - and I would NEVER put TP and "palatable" in the same sentence….
kek by texture I literally mean "doesnt resemble sandpaper"
Tried it. Fancy packaging - was a rather dry yuck feeling product for me. I stick with Quilton or Sorbent… (never cotonelle)
Emporia
Hell yeah!, that's the shit!!
Invest in a bidet!
Luxe brand is very well reviewed, and works on pretty much any Aussie toilet - less than $100 delivered from Amazon
Can you DIY install it or does it need a licensed plumber? I am guessing the fittings may be different as it is from the US?
I'm still waiting on mine to be delivered, but it is a 5 min DIY job. You screw an attachment on to the line that provides water to your toilet, and attach the device underneath the toilet seat. The kit comes with all the tools you need.
This is for the cold water model - if you want the electric warm water version it may be more effort setting it up.
Interesting in winter
Was worried about the cold water shock factor myself, but it's fine.
I came here to read about toilet paper and now I've spent $100. :/
I must be the only one who thinks importing toilet paper from Amazon is pretty crazy…. To go for that extent to score a toilet paper bargain…. Can't image
Second this - had it for two years now.
Took about 15 minutes to install and it is life changing!.
Only Toto for me
Looks like a great cost effective bidet. Favourable reviews too on Amazon will look into it further before I get my feet (or bot bot) wet. Thanks railspider!
