Coloured Toilet paper

As the distinguished Chinese president said of his cat, I don't care if it's black or white so long as it catches mice.

Most supermarket have an ecological recycled paper unbleached loo roll.

I get mine from Waitorse £5.85 for 9, no doubt other supermarkets are even cheaper.

I meant unbleached

Can you not get coloured loo paper anymore. I just look for white but white is supposed to contain bleach, has it changed to in bleached like flour

I used to like the peach colour when we first married as someone said it matched the tiles in the bathroom, I also had one of the crochet loo roll covers that was peach colour as well😂
I can't get over the price gone on it recently ,the branded ones are over £8.00 for a bag of 9.

I’d not encountered a bidet before moving here. Trying not to be TMI I keep washing up gloves hidden in bathroom. Result: virtually no paper needed and always feel good in relevant areas!

I had a loo and bathroom papered in a rather fetching pale lavender and I could get matching lavender loo rolls in what was then our local Safeway - I'm talking early 1990s now.

There was a time when we were told that coloured loo paper was better for the environment. At the same time my cousin, who lives in Montreal, was being told that they could only have white paper because it was better for the environment!

i cannot see how a watering can of water can properly clean all one's interstices, a cloth or sponge would also need to be used.

I remember someone I worked with over 40 years ago telling me that we shouldn’t buy coloured toilet roll as it was bad for the environment. It was probably the first time I’d become aware of environmental issues.

Our culture, well those of the middle class, call them bidets BlueBelle 😀

Other cultures wash their bums with ‘watering cans’ kept by the loo (not sure of the correct name for them)
Use more water I guess but no bunged up pipes

Honey coloured (aka beige!) loo paper was available up until the pandemic I think. Much easier if you have white loo rolls in all bathrooms, just buy one big pack for all

We had pink or peach years ago. It was much softer than what we buy today I think. My MiL used to buy pale blue to go with her bathroom Suite.

Very eco MOnica. Saves all that paper flushing into the sewers.

The Romans used sponges on sticks and swilled them out, presumably like loo brushes.

I remember the coloured toilet paper, one bathroom had a grey suite and pink tiles so had pink paper. The other bathroom had a champagne coloured suite and I bought peach coloured for there.
I have noticed that the paper seems to be much thinner now, doesn't bother me too much as I don't go for number twos any more.

To be truly recyclable it should be washable and we could hang out with washing😀

I’m always amused when I see recycled lavatory paper.
I know it’s not true, but it makes me think of all the people who have used it before I will.

Of course I mean lavatory paper😉

Coloured toilet paper! Always very Non-U, I’m clutching my pearls in horror 😁

On first visiting my future MIL's home, that horrible shock of hard, shiny, little sheets of paper in a box. She wouldn't have soft loo roll in the house, believing it 'unhygienic' as it wasn't medicated with disinfectant. After that, I always took my own, hiding it in my sleeves and/or shoes - just in case.

First it was news paper cut into squares stuck to a nail, which progressed to the hard shiny horrible tracing paper which just didn’t work and then ‘soft paper’ appeared. What joy 🤩 Don’t care what colour but soft was the most important distinction.

Was there Bronco toilet paper too, or did I dream it. Greaseproof in a box.

I had forgotten completely about coloured toilet paper! I had a terracotta and pale green bathroom and I liked the peach colour. No to scented paper; it’s expensive and just a catchpenny, as my mother would have said! I just go for reasonable quality and value for money these days tbh.

Apparently coloured toilet paper is bad for the environment!
