Toilet paper

I’m sorry for laughing (it’s not usually my style) but the worst thing about your holiday was the loo roll?!
You were very fortunate

Having said that, I usually prepare for the substandard stuff in rentals.
I do know what you mean

Fanny it was lighthearted and I’m always laughing x

I take my own supply - not wishing to be red raw in certain areas, using the cheap, sandpaper type. With all my allergies - I take my own towels and bedding too. You wouldn't know I'd even been there when I leave!

You could take ‘wouldn’t know I’d been there’ in more ways than one given the topic of the thread (excuse my lavatorial sense of humour).

Thank you!

How did we ever survive that awful Izal (??) paper? Shiny on one side and therefore utterly useless, and it was the only product available. I don't recall when soft tissue type loo rolls came into being.

Hetty, what do you do with the bedding provided?
Or do you inform the owner that you will be bringing your own?

I meant to add that in some places, soft loo paper causes a problem in the sewers .

Imagine that the izal wouldn’t have stuck to me in the same way 👀

To suggest that single ply loo roll is effective is simply a tissue of lies...

DH hates thin toilet paper. We always have to have the quilted sort. Otherwise he says , his finger goes through it !!!!!

Same here my Dh said that when I changed brand MrsKen33

We once arrived at a holiday let when I was bursting for the loo - there were two loos and no paper in either of them! 😱
I had to send dh straight out on an errand of mercy - luckily there was a shop close by.
I later had Words with the letting agency.

We always buy good quality thick paper but I have been disappointed recently when I tried other makes in a cost cutting exercise!

The first rubbish I bought was advertised on Facebook and was called Who Gives A Crap. It is thin and the squares are quite a bit smaller than usual. Complete waste of money.

The second was about 24 rolls which were a bargain price and looked good quality and had a coconut aroma. That was from Aldi and was too thin as well.

We really are a luxury quilted family. 😉

If I have the luxury of quilted it blocks the loos . I also have to tell visitors that the downstairs loo is for water only no solids. We live in a barn and have peculiar drains.
The last time DH visited she wondered how the cows before us had managed.GD told her not to be silly they used their tails. We all erupted, the joke for the week was we were going for a moo, not to the loo.

I remember Izal toilet paper, Gibbs toothpaste in a solid block in a round tin and Lifeboy carbolic soap. A trio of awfulness in bathroom products from childhood. It's a wonder I survived

It’s a wonder we did, Terri! I think our loo paper was called Bronco, but similar Izal. . Those tins of solid toothpaste, too! But we didn’t have tubes then so it’s only really in retrospect that they seem awful. Oh yes, carbolic soap. Horrible smell.

Couchelle for us.

Thank you for cheering me up with this thread. I have been reading the posts to DH.
Unfortunately some of his comments are unsuitable for this thread. 🤣

primrose you bought the wrong “who gives a crap”.
We subscribed during the first lockdown. A bit of research suggested the standard rolls were indeed a bit thin . We went for the bamboo boxes and have been very pleased! I don’t have to lug rolls back from the shops and we never run out.

Agree with Mogsmaw about Who Gives A Crap and the profits are used wisely. A loo break gives Comfort and Joy in my house @

I have a device called a 'bum gun'. It is attached to the cistern and sprays a strong jet of water whereever you aim it. Much more efficient than loo roll and you can clean the bowl too

A bum gun!
This sounds entertaining to another degree, not sure it’s for me……
