Coloured Toilet paper

I only buy the Eco loo paper made from recyled paper pulp, it is a slightly dirty off white so I assume, if bleached, there is less bleach used thanin the whiter paper.

Coloured toilet paper…..what about the dreadful izal tracing paper on a roll or sheets in a box !

I just use thin white loo paper now, the quilted stuff has been known to block drains.

I think most is bleached henetha

Our holiday club has provided unbleached kitchen roll, tissues and toilet roll for several years now. All a pale beige colour.

Didn't there used to be a floral alternative too? I don't mean the one with images compressed into the paper - I mean actual flowers printed onto the loo paper?

Difference, sorry.

I’m not faithful to any brand of loo roll, but it’s noticeable the different in makes and some rolls are almost an inch narrower than others and often more loosely rolled too.
Another one here who buys Christmas loo rolls - some had holly, some silver stars.

Calendargirl the sheets of loo roll were definitely wider, another “mystery” ?

I had to Google it. I seemed to remember someone tellingme it poisoned fishes.
Anyway it is a combination of things. One being fashion and another it costs more to make.

HeavenLeigh Who remembers these, those were the days, I remember we used to have the pink in our bathroom when I lived at home to match the white bath and pink and white bathroom tiles

We had white bathroom suite at home, white loo rolls. Now we have white suite, white loo rolls. Christmas loo rolls for December.

What is the problem with coloured loo paper? Mine matched my towels.

I never went in for crotchetted loo roll covers. had a wicker baskets with about a dozen spare rolls in - still do.

I always but Christmas toilet paper from M&S, and Christmas kitchen roll too!
We are a jolly lot at Christmas

I blush to admit that I received a roll of Christmas toilet paper in an office Secret Santa and put it in my bathroom (it had a holly design on it 😲)!

I’d buy that if I saw it 😃

Whatever colour it is, the rolls are definitely smaller, with fewer sheets.

They don’t last very long, and we are not extravagant with our usage.

Peach coloured paper is still available!

Pink, green, blue and traditional white… which at the time I thought white seemed that you were poorer if you didn’t buy the coloured rolls…

Someone told me that the white toilet paper is dyed anyway as that is not it's natural colour. I don't know if it's true.

My son offended Mum when he came out of the bathroom and said it smelt. We later realised that it was a little cardboard air freshener thingy that went inside the toilet roll and he thought it smelt nice

I’ve never squeezed a toilet roll in my life (except possibly by accident)! Nor do my loo rolls unravel. That’s in umpteen houses I’ve lived in so it’s not the roll holder.

Don't think I will buy the toilet rolls with no cardboard middles. You won't be able to squeeze them so that the roll doesn't unravel all over the floor.

I’ve just followed that link you posted Wyllow3 apparently the author Jilly Cooper thought coloured toilet tissue was COMMON! How very dare she?🤨 I recall not that long ago buying Champagne coloured loo roll. sort of miss the variety.
I also miss the variety of other household stuff that used to be available to choose from such as plastic washing up bowls ( yep no dishwasher here) that actually fit an average dinner plate and my sink and in a variety of common colours ditto with draining racks etc etc. Nowdays it’s getting like the former Soviet Union with every shade as long as it’s white…..sorry forgot the dreaded “grey” Just soooo boring. imo of course🤗

"This all has set off my memory - anyone else remember the boxes of paper tissues in a rainbow of pastel colours? I loved those! grin."

I will never forget when I had had a miscarriage but was pregnant again. We had run out of toilet paper, so had temporally popped a box of coloured tissues into the bathroom. I peed, wiped and caught sight of the thin pink tissue with a bright red streak across the middle. Promptly went into a full blown panic attack on the floor while locked in the bathroom. A horrible memory.

I was a Saturday girl in a grocer’s shop many years ago.

The Andrex was kept on a high shelf near the ceiling, you needed a hooked pole to flick the rolls down. I got quite adept at it.

One particular customer always came for her order in the afternoon, and she always had a twin pack of pink Andrex. Getting ahead of myself, I flicked one pack down early in anticipation, only to be greeted with “Oh, I’ve had my bathroom decorated, I now want peach/blue/green”-(can’t recall what was the new colour scheme).

Gave up trying to anticipate future requirements after that.
