Title: 1-ply or 2-ply toilet paper?
Post by: sommap on January 05, 2012, 10:59:14 am: I have my favorite brand that I almost always buy. It is a soft, 2-ply brand. I must have had a very good coupon, as I ended up with a big package of 12 rolls of very thin, 1-ply paper. It is like tissue paper. Note to myself to never buy that brand again.

Post by: BotchedSituation on January 05, 2012, 06:55:08 pm: I will never willingly use one-ply. There are some things you just don't slack on. Toilet paper is one of them.

HA, i had a roommate who said the exact same thing!

personally, i don't have a preference. i can wad or fold up
enough 1-ply to make it feel like 2-ply, if need be, but that
usually only happens at work :P most brands are 2-ply
anyway, so we buy whatever's cheapest out of those choices.

Smart roomie. ;)
I figured most people who use one-ply did the wad up thing, I know I do. But at the end of the day wouldn't using up so much and having to go restock put you around the same amount as just buying a decent two-ply?

Post by: monnee on January 06, 2012, 02:02:05 pm: Two ply bathroom tissues for sure. One ply is too thin and tears apart easily.

Post by: queenofnines on January 06, 2012, 02:57:10 pm: One-ply is what retail businesses use to save money in mass-traffic restrooms. It should never be used in your own home!

Title: Re: 1-ply or 2-ply toilet paper?
Post by: sommap on January 07, 2012, 09:20:08 am: I bought a large 12 package without realizing that it was 1-ply. I clearly don't like it. But, one roll seems to last forever. That is just one roll - I wonder how long 12 rolls will last. I iwll be more careful the next time I buy tp.

Post by: kay7 on January 08, 2012, 08:37:08 am: I'd have to go with 2-ply but having been in Europe in the 60's and again in the 70's, any toilet paper here is better than what they had there. Probably, an old Sears catalog would be better!

Title: Re: 1-ply or 2-ply toilet paper?
Post by: Tresbn00 on January 18, 2012, 05:34:26 pm: I wouldn't think of using anything but four squares of two-ply per wipe unless the job called for more (every once and awhile)! I also set a price threshold of .025 per roll and will buy in big bulk when I get my intended price! .35 cents for double rolls is about right but I am never sure if I am getting my money's worth. Stores only seem to carry double rolls these days so there must be a larger profit margin! Generic is fine but single ply is going to require more squares.

Post by: sommap on January 18, 2012, 07:38:44 pm: I just bought a huge package of my favorite tp at Target today. It will take forever though to use up the stupid one-ply stuff I got. I may alternate brands.

Post by: d1cheetah on January 19, 2012, 06:24:04 pm: great value, heavy duty, soft and strong double rolls. They are all 2 ply. Anything less may mean an extra long handwash after leaving the bowl.

Post by: sunflowers20054u on January 20, 2012, 05:50:21 am: I prefer 2 ply. I recently saw a 3-ply and decided to try it. I still prefer 2-ply and went back :)

Post by: mattc4000 on January 20, 2012, 06:14:04 pm: I can't believe would ever use 1 ply. I realize it is more expensive for 2 ply but it does the job better and cleaner. What is the rationale for using 1 ply?

Post by: squirrelgirl44 on January 23, 2012, 07:44:09 am: Always 2 ply. I will never in my life buy 1 ply. No matter how poor I might be, I refuse to use cheap, thin toilet paper. No thanks.
