Coloured Toilet paper

My understanding was that it was bad for the planet because of the dye used.

You can still buy it in very funky colours! I must admit I had the black ones as a 'display' item in a black/white bathroom!

So that's where they got it from for Taskmaster!

One of the supermarkets (can’t recall which) does a double length loo roll, with a smaller diameter cardboard centre. It’s wrapped in a paper outer, is decent quality and they claim is better for the environment as it uses less card and reduces transport costs.

If only I could remember where I bought it!

I always buy 2 rolls of Xmas toilet paper 😂 they last for the Xmas season

I can't see the benefit of having either scented toilet paper or no cardboard centre! Paper just gets used and flushed, so are you going to sit there sniffing it? I don't think so. And the cardboard centre just goes in the recycling, so what is the problem with that?

I too had forgotten about coloured toilet rolls.
I don`t remember buying them myself,but as a child/youth i do remember my parents buying them.
And sadly i did have a crocheted doll when i first married in 1978,that was 2 big mistakes lol.

Is anyone using the new Cushelle without the cardboard centre? It seems a good idea, but I refuse to buy them because there are 6 rolls instead of 9 and a pack is more expensive!! There can't be many extra sheets per roll.

I stopped using coloured toilet roll when I realised it was not readily biodegradable.

Was there not a scare about coloured toilet paper being bad for your health?

Yes, there was! A friend worked in the paper industry and he warned us not to use blue loo paper. 👀 👀

I don’t like these scented loo rolls with aloe vera/coconut etc. They feel slimy. The coconut versions smells awful, too.

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

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 😲)!

At Christmas, you could get a loo roll with holly printed on it. I can remember the dd's going mad when I would not buy it. I said it would prick their bottoms.

Same here, but at least I did not choose it lol. Did you have a crocheted hat for the spare one? lol

I knew a house that had part of a doll with a crochet skirt covering the spare loo roll. I've always had white loo roll since a urologist in the early 80s said the coloured ones could give you an infection with the die.

I suppose the question now is whether the one embossed with Andrex puppies is any more tasteful?

🤣🤣 yesssssss we did fleurpepper I cringe now when I think about it , she was in pink and white too

Actually memory playing tricks, the house we had in 75 had an avocado suite, it was my next door neighbour and great friend who had the pink one! And the crochet and lace loo roll dolly hat.

No way fp! And I had avocado in a previous house in the early 70s … presumably I bought white loo paper then.

I never liked it - nor do I like the ones you can buy now which have a fragrance.
My parents did have a "spare" roll in a doll disguise

🤣🤣🤣 I'd forgotten all about coloured toilet paper!!

I hadn’t thought about it but yes, you are right. Used to be able to even get peach coloured which matched my bathroom at the time ( peach and avocado, 1980s) I reckon in 10 years it will be all the rage again unless they decide it is not politically correct of course.

I believe you could get pink, green, blue or peach. White toilet paper looked so boring in comparison!
