Quilted toilet paper.

I will try that one as well NotaGran55. I don't think I saw it on the shelves this week but will keep looking. Thank you. I complained as well.

What I used to buy from Waitrose, their own essential range, was great and then they changed it to rubbish ply with no notification on the pack. So I was left with a 16 pack of stuff of no use.
Which is why I tried a smaller pack of their quilted ones. Which seemed sturdy stuff until the blockage.
At the moment bamboo is the way to go for me, but I will try the Andrex as well

Waitrose reintroduced their original good quality loo paper after many complaints, including mine.
Not to be confused with the Essential one.

I will test run the box of Cheeky Panda and order on line if we like it. I love the name. Reminds me of the Cheeky Girls way back.

I buy it from the Cheeky Panda website. They often have offers.

I have a pack of Cheeky Panda to use. If we like it vegansrock did you buy direct from them or amazon?

I buy Cheeky Panda unbleached bamboo online- 48 rolls at a time lasts us months. Id love a bidet or one of those Japanese toilets which washes and dries your bum for you.

None quitlted 3 ply is usually OK. Don't go down as low as 2 ply its useless.

I use cushelle quilted, imo it's the strongest one out there but it also breaks down in water easily.
Although I bought a bum gun recently and my toilet paper usage has dropped drastically.

I have never bought uilted paper because I see no point in spending more moneythan is absolutely necessary on paper that will be used to wipe your bum and then be flushed down the loo. Eco recycled paper is uite adeuate.

Some homes I visited as a child didn't have a mains water supply. The outdoor loos were provided with sheets of newspaper threaded on binder twine. I never understood how the waste was processed but at least no flushing meant no blockages!

Google deep dive AI informs me that Andrex has lost 4mm on all sides!🤬

We’ve never bought quilted, having heard that it can cause blockages. However the brand we usually use is so thin now! You need at least 3 sheets to stop your fingers going through it.

It's all very well using paper that breaks down easily so doesn't block the drains, but I find that it breaks down whilst "in use" and leaves tiny bits of paper stuck and itchy!! Just saying!!

I don’t find that with Bazoo bamboo paper. It’s good quality.

I agree janipans a “crumby” bum🤭

I remember most toilet paper being much wider, and wonder why it changed is this to do with “modern” plumbing issues?.

Blimey Izal is a blast from the past, I used to use it as tracing paper 😂

There was also Bronco. Izal used to make your hands stink of disinfectant.

I was in a hotel lounge with my mother when I was a little girl, and very bored. I asked if I could bring down my book and tracings. Could not understand why she kept saying no. In the end she whispered “They’re on Bronco.” I did see her point!

You might like to start à new thread- unless you were planning to give them quilted toilet paper!

New thread if that's okay.
It's my Sister and Brother-in-Laws Diamond Wedding anniversary next week,any ideas for presents would be much appreciated.Thanks.

🤣🤣🤣
I never knew that, maybe because we washed our hands (with soap) after using the toilet and I’ve never sniffed toilet paper, even when we used it as tracing paper.

Aloe Vera gel is a really good idea Flippinheck and, as you say, much cheaper.

I’m really sorry but I can’t provide a link. I have a great plumber who I called, asked him to get a fitting and install it. It too about an hour to fit. Mine is cold water only as my boiler is far from my bathroom and it takes too long for the hot water to get there for this to be an option. The spray pressure is adjustable from a trickle to a ferocious blast.
I really think that this is so much more hygienic as your hands are not touching your undercarriage or anything else and I really do feel much more clean.
My daughters were horrified and gave yet to be persuaded to use it. It saves me a fortune in paper and is useful for cleaning the loo as well. No more loo brushes or marigolds !

I’ve recently had a “toilet spray” installed next to my loo. They are very common in Asian countries and I always used them when I was travelling. You just give yourself a quick spray with a jet of water and there is no need for toilet paper. It feels more hygienic and clean. It’s also great for cleaning the loo and I’m thinking that it will have paid for itself within a year.
I do of course provide loo paper for guests who are not so keen on the idea!

Miss Chateline - this is AKA a "bum gun". (Cue giggling). I am seriously considering one of these for personal hygiene reasons (UTI prevention) as well as cutting down on loo roll. After visiting Japan and using their amazing loos I felt ours are positively prehistoric in comparison. Please would you be kind enough to share a link or a name? Can you adjust the temperature easily?

Silvershadow I hope you do not flush the wet wipes? They block toilets/ drains up and should only be put in a bin and not flushed down the toilet.
