If you’re a savvy household shopper, you may have considered if facial tissue is worth buying. Toilet paper gets the job done, but facial tissues are convenient and softer (unless you’re buying really cushy toilet paper). According to Clark Howard, CNN’s conusmer expert, facial tissue costs 8x the cost of toilet paper. That means that when you’ve got a cold or allergies and blowing your nose, it’s more expensive to buy Kleenex facial tissues on average, than just regular toilet paper rolls.

Do you buy facial tissues, even though it’s more expensive? Answer in the comments below, first 10 to respond will receive a reusable shopping bag! E-mail molly@cicgo.com with your shipping information after leaving your comment below.

The University of Colorado posts “Tips for the Toilet” in bathrooms. You would expect a list of bathroom rules, like the ones Harvard University presented for their graduate students, regarding appropriate and inappropriate actions for toilets, urinals, sinks, and showers. But apparently, the school is not concerned with the students’ bad bathroom etiquette.

The “Tips for the Toilet” at CU are about athletic recruitment. It outlines the following topics for appropriate contact:

• Telephone Call Limitations (no texting allowed!)
• Emails and Mailings
• Contact and Evaluations
• Recruiting Visits to Campus

What’s the weirdest bathroom rules you’ve ever seen?

Today we feature a guest post from Stephane Lopez on the new brown toilet paper.

One of the latest trends in consumer marketing is greener products that are better for the environment. Businesses use green or eco-friendly products in an attempt to improve their image, and consumers want to do their part in becoming more eco-conscious. But how will consumers respond to brown toilet paper?

What is Brown Toilet Paper?

Brown toilet paper is bathroom tissue made of 100 percent recycled materials. The manufacturing process reduces or eliminates the amount of bleach used to whiten the paper. Recycled toilet paper uses labels like “unbleached” or “chlorine-free.” Some producers use 100 percent post-consumer materials, such as office paper, which makes the toilet paper gray with darker speckles. To achieve a desirable brown or beige color, producers can use a percentage of recovered cardboard. To reduce the amount of waste even further, some companies are eliminating the use of cardboard tubes inside of the roll.

Benefits to the Consumer

Since the production cost of recycled bathroom tissue is lower, companies can reduce the price for customers. Consumers are more willing to purchase environmentally friendly products, and purchasing greener products gives them satisfaction. Many consumers would be happy to buy brown toilet paper, especially if it came at a reduced cost.

Benefits to the Environment

When comparing white and brown toilet paper, the environmental impacts are vastly diverse. Since brown toilet paper uses only recycled materials, there is no need to cut down more trees for production. By eliminating the use of chlorine and other bleaching agents, the production process consumes about 50 percent less energy than white toilet paper. Conventional toilet paper pollutes the waterways by producing harmful dioxins from bleach, dyes and fragrances. Some of the negative effects of dioxins include increased cancer risks and developmental problems. Brown toilet paper does not use such chemicals, so the water is safer for humans and the environment.

Downsides of Brown Toilet Paper

Some companies believe that consumers have a preference for white toilet paper because the color white is associated with cleanliness. Some consumers are concerned that recycled bathroom tissue will not be as soft as the plush, two-ply brands. Top producers have eliminated this concern by implementing recycled cardboard in their product to achieve a softer texture.

Will Brown Toilet Paper Sell to Modern Consumers?

Studies performed on consumers indicate that the majority would consider buying this type of product. The initial response is negative, but once consumers feel the softness, they are pleasantly surprised. Cascades’ opinion is that consumers are ready to switch to brown toilet paper. Consumers are accustomed to using brown napkins and paper towels, so toilet paper is the next logical step in eco-friendly practices.

Five days ago we at ToiletPaperWorld all waited with bated breath to see if the great state of New Jerseywould be able to resolve its budget.  Apparently, they had severe problems balancing their office supply budget and were dangerously close to running out of toilet paper.  This battle began back in November when a $42,000 order was not approved because it had $4,000 worth of cups, which was over the cup budget and ended up holding up the entire order.  Part of the hesitance to approve the whole order have been suspected occurrences of stolen toilet paper – for which Jumbo toilet rolls are a viable solution.

In a dramatic twist, PETA stepped in as the deadline was nearly up and offered to donate a six month supply of toilet paper which New Jersey has apparently accepted.

The caveat of this is the toilet paper will be printed with the message “Slaughterhouses are so filthy that more than half of all meat is contaminated with fecal bacteria. Wipe cruelty from your diet. Go vegan. PETA.”  On the bright side, I doubt anyone would steal this toilet paper unless they did so for novelty purposes.
Nothing against PETA, but I think I would be annoyed enough by toilet paper propaganda to bring my own toilet paper into work from home.  Read the full story at Fox News.
