Are westerners being robbed of TP when we get the hollow rolls? Is communism the right path after all?

    I used to buy rolls where the center of the tube came as a little personal roll you could put in your purse. I can’t remember which brand anymore.

    I’ve been on Lemmy for about a year, so I’m certain that communism is the only right path.

      Same, I’ve installed Arch on my ThinkPad, shaved my legs and put on knee high stockings. I also give every car a middle finger and swear when walking past parking lots. Lemmy has radicalized me in surprising ways.

    There are some commercial rolls I’ve seen in the US that seem to be a happy medium…the holder itself in the stall has a thin plastic rod for the TP to go on, and the rolls have a very small opening in the center (and no cardboard) to go on that rod.

    In China it comes stacked in bags and you pull it out sheet by sheet like paper hand towels or a box of tissues. You can hang the bag up.

        Well, first aid for an arterial bleeding is to “stuff a finger in the hole and get the person to lay down on the floor”. I suppose that could still be relevant here… If you have a cock ring I guess you could apply it as a tourniquet

    As a household that doesn’t use a toilet paper roller, this would be amazing. I hate throwing away all those empty rolls

    You can buy something like this here in the US.

    The roll is smaller, and they market it as being made for camping (takes up less space in the pack, etc). It also, of course, costs more because of this, since modern camping gear loves to price gouge.

    If you’re going to pack TP though, just spool what you need around something smaller in diameter (like a skewer). Or if you know what you’re doing then just use leaves instead, those are free.

    It’s so hard to use toilet paper after getting a bidet.

    I mean sure, I use TP to double check the bidet did it’s job and to dry. But wiping twice as opposed to dealing with a marker butthole has spoiled me.

      Only reason you have a marker butthole is because you ain’t eating enough fiber motha fucka. Get some fiber powder and drink that shit bro wtf don’t spread misinformation like you spread your ass to shoot water up there to enema douche the bit of poop you left pinched off up your buttholy hole because you ain’t eating some God damn fiber my man!! EAT FIBER YO POO BE ONE BIG OL UNBREAKABLE LINK ITS WONDERFUL 👍
