A Charmin toilet paper advertisement

Some people may find toilet paper a challenging topic to discuss. Toilet paper manufacturers have found different ways to frame their message about the quality of their toilet paper. Using brand names and spokespersons, like Mr. Whipple, is one way to attract consumers to buying toilet paper.

The Charmin toilet paper ad pictured here uses a metaphor for using the bathroom with a contractual agreement. A clever play on words may attract consumers who do not like the direct approach of talking about toilet paper.

Some people have found toilet paper commercials offensive, especially those discussing the problems of a toilet paper that sticks to users’ bottoms. It is an interesting challenge to discuss toilet paper on national television, without being accused of having a potty mouth.

Jim Edwards discusses toilet paper commercials, in his commentary with links to youtube uploaded commercials. Check it out at BNET.

Recently, one of our readers sent us pictures of toilet paper dresses that she made. The series is called Oscar Fashions.

Liza Morado, the artist, made the first dress to enter a newspaper contest as a joke. The contest was originally to design a dress for someone to wear to the Academy Awards. So Morado created a toilet paper dress.

Though she didn’t win that contest, she began making more toilet paper dresses. They are not life-size, but rather small creations featured on 8 x 10 inch boards.

When asked what kind of toilet paper she liked to work with, Morado said,

I prefer a paper that’s not too puffy. It is easier to work with one ply rather than two ply.

Morado said that she the qualities that she looks for in toilet paper are good absorbency and softness all in one.

More of Morado’s work can be seen on her website.
