Q: Does your toilet paper rip when used?
Are they made to last here! The toilet PaPER!!!!
11 years 10 weeks ago in Health & Safety - China
M,y finger oftentimes goes through.....
GuilinRaf:
yeah, pisses me off...
That is why i carry wetwipes.
Used to use them for cleaning my fingers, then realized they did a better job on my bottom.
If the toilet paper was made any thinner it would float off the holder. Did you know they make the wings of planes from the same stuff, perforated with a tear off point and the wings never fall off? Same as my toilet paper! Never tears on the dotted line!
If it didn't you'd never get it off the roll. Anyway it's better than the paper you used to find in France, you couldn't cut that stuff with scissors. Sort of paper people line baking trays with. The running joke, if I remember correctly, was, 'The money falls apart in your hands, and you can't tear the toilet paper'. But here..... erm..... I haven't used it in ages. A hose next to the dunny and the word of the day is 'enema'. I've got a shinier ring than the Pope.
It's worth staying clear of the cheaper brands of TP, the one I am usually told to carry back from the store is about 30-35RMB for a pack of 10 rolls. Have not had a single "smelly finger" incident.
GuilinRaf:
Confucius says : He who go to bed with itchy butt, wake up with smelly finger....
Scandinavian:
didn't the great philosopher also say "He who runs out of toilet paper has a shitty situation"
I take wet wipes. It is like having a portable bidet!
In Puerto Rico, we use bidets as a matter of course.
I am the first to say that the Moors were the ones who civilized the Spaniards....
t91camp:
This guy right here, he knows what he's doing. Wet wipes are a modern day miracle.
GuilinRaf:
I swear by them. And if I dont have any, I swear AT them....
I heard there's an ancient Chinese torture, where they feed the victim monkey brain hot pot and force him to take a dump in a community squat toilet, with budget TP just out of reach.
Then if they really wanted answers, they'd force the prisoner to take the bathroom trash out - and they used those fixed-to-the-floor bins, with no liner.
Crimes against humanity, I tell you...
GuilinRaf:
Yeah, we used that in Abu-Gharib prison until the UN went psycho o our asses....
GuilinRaf:
You cant? Let me help you!
Ripped toilet paper, your finger is brown with your excreta.
Now, there is no water or soap to clean your hand with.
AND you gotta eat from a communal plate.
Hellish enough?
ambivalentmace:
had monkey brains in thailand once, very nice dinner but i did visit the toilet all day the next day. montezuma' s revenge.
There's a brand called Vinda
Stay away from the cheaper brands, especially those that don't have the tube in the center.
Hulk:
I can verify that this brand is very good. No brown finger incidents.
Nessquick:
we are buying too this brand at home, but those they use mhere in office, is one of the cheapest :(
The cheaper brands rip when taking off a piece of it. I use something called "flower" (in English) with pink flowers on the package. The other stuff is horrible. Generally speaking, the more expensive, the better. So stay away from packs of 12 RMB paper.
