Toilet Paper Blog

Just found this product online and I must say, it is very handy! I like to listen to music in the shower so I usually bring my ipod speakers in with me but this is very innovative. It is even moisture free so you don’t have to worry about getting it wet.

Thank god for indoor plumbing!

It’s currently 22 degrees at the ToiletPaperWorld.com headquarters with 50mph winds. Days like this I am really thankful for indoor plumping- I would probably end up like this if we still used outhouses! Thanks to FunPho.com for the picture.

What's in these dorm room stalls? 1 ply or 2 ply?

As high school juniors & seniors across the select what college to attend for higher education, many factors play a role in this monumental decision. Where will I get the best education? Where will I enjoy my surroundings the most? How strong is the school’s community? What kind of toilet paper will there be in their restrooms? Is it one ply or two-ply?

As ridiculous as this question sounds, the issue is a subject of constant debate across many college campuses and even at American’s top Ivy League institutions. The issue was so important to students at Princeton University that the top candidates for Student Government President recently used the platform for a switch to 2-ply in university restrooms as a top campaign promises.

Advocates for the softer, more comfortable 2-ply toilet paper say the switch would meet the demands of the student body.  They also claim while the rest of the university suffers from harshness of 1-ply, many of the administrators’, president’s, and executive offices are actually stocked with the cushioner 2-ply.  In response to these claims, administrators argue switching the entire university to two-ply toilet paper goes against Princeton’s sustainability practices and would not make sense environmentally or economically.

Personally, it sounds as if this is a case of “Do as I say, not as I do.”.  If the administration isn’t willing to give up their 2-ply, I don’t think the rest of the student body should have to either.  And for the record, Harvard University made the switch to 2-ply a long time ago (back in 1998) and Yale followed suit a year later.  Both universities are miraculously still able to balance their budgets AND boast impressive sustainability programs. For example, Harvard is the leading buying of wind power in all of New England while six of Yale’s buildings and labs carry the prestigious LEED certification.

I found this on YouTube yesterday and just couldn’t stop laughing – Watch as this cat skillfully unrolls an entire roll of toilet paper, then rolls it back up again! I still can’t believe it – this cat is great! I wonder if he prefers the roll under or over?

Toilet Tissue vs. Toilet Paper vs. Bathroom Tissue – What’s the difference?

Can you tell the difference between these two?

Simply put – Toilet Tissue is a general phrase which means the exact same thing as toilet paper, bathroom tissue, TP, etc.  Manufacturers often use this phrase on their packaging because the term sounds friendlier, more luxurious, softer, and more upscale than plain old toilet paper (Translation: Costumers are subconsciously more apt to purchase these products because they are soothed by this term.)

Tissue, on the other hand, is a general term indicating a class of papers of characteristic gauzy texture, and in some cases, is fairly transparent.  Tissue papers are made on any type of paper machine, from any type of pulp, including reclaimed paper stock. They may be glazed, unglazed, or creped, and are used for a variety of purposes. Examples are primarily sanitary grades such as toilet, facial, napkin, toweling, wipes, and special sanitary papers. Desirable characteristics of tissue are softness, strength, and freedom from lint. There are also waxing, wrapping, and miscellaneous non-sanitary grades.

So there you have it – toilet paper and toilet tissue are the same thing, while plain tissue it different and serves different purposes.  I hope this helps explain any confusion!  If you have any doubts or unanswered thoughts, please to hesitate to ask ask me here.
