Although people should be careful when buying toilet paper, most of the time they don’t. Few people think more about which toilet they buy and usually take the cheapest one.
The differences are significant
But it is precisely the overemphasis on saving that can come back to haunt you in an unpleasant way. It can happen that you buy really poor quality toilet paper, made from the cheapest material. This then causes an unsightly rubbing that resembles the use of old sandpaper. Poor toilet paper may look modern, but once you try it, you’ll realize it wasn’t a good choice at all. It is usually not recommended to choose the cheaper ones, which will later “pay you back” badly.
There are significant differences between toilet paper. If you choose a double layer, you can count on the fact that it will dissolve very well and practically eliminate the risk of a clogged toilet. However, using double-layered paper may not be as convenient and you may need to use more paper than when using three-layered or multi-layered. Three-ply toilet paper is slowly but surely becoming the standard today.
Three-ply paper is also not that demanding on the toilet, and you probably don’t have to worry about clogging it. In addition, it will not be necessary to use half a roll to clean the private parts, but a few clippings are enough.
How to buy toilet paper
It’s ideal if you have a bidet near the toilet, or at least a shower. In this case, you don’t have to do all the cleaning with paper, but you can also help yourself with water. Thanks to this, you do not use so much waste and do not burden the toilet so much. Also, you will have a more pleasant feeling.
Although some manufacturers claim that you can throw a used toilet paper roll down the toilet and rinse it, as it will dissolve, this is not recommended. Even in the case of rolls intended for this, you unnecessarily increase the risk of a clogged toilet, especially if you have narrower pipes.
It can be considered a mistake if you buy toilet paper at full price. Its manufacturers have got used to a special strategy in the Czech Republic. By default, they sell this relatively expensive product to afford frequent events and with high discounts. It is therefore ideal to buy only on sale and always have enough to last until the next one. Alternatively, choose supermarket-branded toilet paper, which is good value for money.
