QOTD 1/9

edited January 2014 in October 2012 Weddings
Toilet paper: What brand do you use? Is it supposed to go up or down? How many squares do you use?

Re: QOTD 1/9

  • Chad likes the ones with the puppies on them (lol...), don't care how it goes, and probably way too much.

  • Charmin Ultra Soft...life's too short for scratchy TP LOL!

    I insist that the roll goes under...I will change it if H puts it over!

    I try to use as little as possible because Charmin is usually the most $ (although we always have coupons) and, because it's so plush, it's probably not the best for the environment.

  • Charmin and I'm fine with either Ultra Soft or Ultra Strong. 

    It always has to go over.  Drives me crazy if it's under and I can't find the beginning of the roll!

    I use about 8-10 squares I guess.  I used more before but H complained that we were going through toilet paper too fast, so I've been a little more conscious about the amount I use.  I think we go through so much because there's 3 girls in the house, but what do I know... lol

  • I buy whatever brand name plush TP is on sale.  TP is one of the few things I insist on getting the good stuff!  The squares have to roll off over the roll, if DH puts it on the wrong way I will flip it around.  It drives me crazy.  I don't count squares, just whatever it takes to get the job done.

  • We use Charmin also!!

    I have to have the roll going up. Like everyone else if it's the wrong way I change it.

    At home I try to conserve squares but at work I don't care as much since it seems like it's less than 1 ply. I think for every one square I use at home, I will use 10 at work. lol

  • I don't have a brand preference and while I prefer it going down, I also am not totally picky about it. 

    Unrelated, but is everyone else having problems with The Nest avatars? We were all wedding cakes earlier and now we're all glasses of champagne on my end. Don't get me wrong, I'd normally just suspect that it was that I want cake and champagne so bad that my eyes are playing tricks on me, but I'm pretty sure that's not the case this time. ;)

    Yeah we are all rings now!  lol!
  • Scott. I don't need the fancy stuff and it's not scratchy.

    It must go over. At my IL's it goes under, the only reason I don't complain is because they have a cat that unravels the rolls if they are over so I get it.

    I don't have a clue how many squares I use!

  • I think the last toilet paper we bought was some sort of cushy two ply from sams club. Usually it goes up. I have no preference though. And I can openly admit I use entirely too much.

    In response to @lehc723 and @Seipel12 I noticed that too! Right now everyone is showing up as a pair of heels.

  • We use the Kirkland Signature, Costco brand. I refuse to use scratchy toilet paper, but it's soft and nice. I think it was voted best TP once. lol. Sad that I know that!

    It has to be over the roll. I flip it if it gets put on the other way. I agree with Heidi, I use whatever it takes to get the job done!

    Everyone's pic is normal on my end!

  • I use Scott.  I don't like the plush stuff, I don't feel like it cleans well.  I have to have the toilet paper over.  ILs put theirs under and it drives me nuts.  Once or twice I did change it :)
  • UGH, DH loves BAD TP!!! I am environmentally conscious<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> (some would call me crunchy) so we use one ply, BUT  Scott Ultra Soft (purple package) is AWESOME! so soft nice little grooves etc. HE likes scott regular (blue package) and it is like using tissue paper! my parents use this as well. I always yell (using that loosely..its TP) at my mom about how terrible their TP is and when DH used it he fell in love with it. SO, the last pack bought, DH got and it's his kind and I hate it...Here's some TMI info on why he likes the terrible TP - it doesn't get stuck in his butt hairs HAHAHAHAHA

    good to know, but when this pack is done DH will never have toilet paper buying privileges AGAIN!!!!

    Also OVER. You can't find the end otherwise. Your only excuse for going under is if you have a cat, so they can't find the end either and unroll all the paper.
