Why is toilet paper so cheap?

T.P. is very porous and lightweight, most likely so it flushes and degrades easier and faster.  Since it's so porous, less paper is used so it doesn't cost as much to produce.\n\nAlso, I'm sure that a lot of recycled paper is used in the production of it.

OOOOOOOOK Guitargadfly is here to save the day once again! Toilet paper is cut into small squares because large circles really didn't work. They tried large circles, but everyone kept getting that stuff on their fingers. Ewww... \n   AND, they also realized that if you make TP in large circles, people tend to use JUST ONE, which is very bad for sales... whereas if they make it as they do, people think OMG one is way too small! I'll get poo all over my fingers, and they grab a big bunch. Witness the lady who earlier said her and hubby use a roll a DAY!

The toilet was invented in ancient times in India.  The modern toilet was invented or at least modified to its present functionality by John Crapper. Toilet paper per se is a modern invention refined by the company responsible for the Coronet tissue paper.  Yes, the bidet is a better alternative, especially if you suffer from hemorrhoids. For those who didn't answer this part of the question, this bathroom fixture is mostly used by women who have their period to clean themselves, but it also works very well in most people's arses.

You cant, that’s why paper is cheap. You can’t wash it and reuse it all the time.

Given 2 things: 1) money is no object, and 2) we're talking about paper products (and not alternatives to paper)\n\nPuff's Plus facial tissue.\n\nIt's like wiping your behind with a buttered pancake it's so smooth.  And it leaves you feeling clean and fresh!

Why stop with sharing a toothbrush?  \n\nDid you ever stop to think that toilet paper has two sides?  One side for you and one side for Cousin Leo...

Why wouldn't it? In tearing the paper air molecules surrounding the sheet are moved, causing longtitudinal vibrations which we percieve as sound? What's the wetness of paper got to do with the price of fish?

Paper.  Which comes from trees.\n\nBet you didn't know every time you use the bathroom you're wiping your ass with a Larch, did you?

A lot of cultures don't use tolit paper, but instead use water to wash off instead.  This is common in Europe and Asia, where they have bedets and other specially designed tolits.  A friend from Jordan explained it to me this way, "Why would you wipe your excrement into your skin, when you can just wash it away?"  It seems a lot more hygenic, but still out of the norm for me growing up here in the States!

Probably because it is cheaper and reusable.

The dyes that were used in making tcolored toilet papers were found to be potentially dangerous to the sensitive area to which they were being applied. Some people had serious negative reactions to the dye, others just some irritation. It was better to stop that altogether than face the possibilty of a class action suit for the sake of appealing to one's need to have a pretty bathroom as a marketing strategy.

If you are feeling guilty, it is too cheap.  \nIf these are friends for who you wouldn't buy anything otherwise, they will appreciate the thought and effort.

yes... I know I do sometimes... It goes to the same place.... An is more sanitary than people think. More than paper, that's for sure. Although people don't talk about because they think is disgusting.\n\nWhy the curiousity?

sometimes you can find good quality in cheaper clothing, but not all the time....alot of times when i buy cheap, as soon as i wash it, the seams come out......i usually buy cheaper clothes when i know it's only seasonal and only going to last for a short time....unfortunately, it's true...you get what you pay for.....but, heck, we're all doing the best we can with what we got....(smile)
