At the risk of sounding like Jerry Seinfeld -- What's with this non-perforated, practically non-ply, poor excuse for toilet tissue that I'm seeing a lot of these days? I get to a public rest room, I use my chin or teeth to keep my blouse out of the way, I stabilize my outer thighs to keep my panties as far away from the bowl as possible to avoid any splash up mess, I use one hand to go for the paper and the ball of that hand to press against the roll as I attempt to rip something off...and there's that sad excuse for toilet tissue in the holder, coming off in twisted, thin clumps. There's no perforation to rip and no amount of folding will create anything close to one ply. I'm a recycler, all plastic, foil, paper....but this TP is not an ostomate's friend!

It’s known as “low bid”, the shopping government and private business do to save a few pennies. I found when traveling in Eastern Europe, there is no TP in the restrooms, and sometimes just a hole in the floor (talk about being cheap!). Perhaps we should consider ourselves fortunate for what we have.
I know exactly what you mean. They use it where I work!
Terrible. I need three arms!
But seeing how that won't happen I just tear some up prior to doing my business. But... You have to check first to see what's there. Just another step NOT to forget. Lol.
It is a bit frustrating I must say.

Bill, you've got a point. I guess it's all in the perspective. Richard, I do the prep work, too, but it's exhausting, especially in the winter when clothing is thicker and layered. My FRIENDS use this TP, too. They have colons.
Yep... I work outside.
Two pairs of longjohns.
Coveralls.
Sweatshirt.
And a heavy jacket.
But... It's better now without a pouch.
I go less often that's for sure. But sometimes it's hard to tell how full it is under all that. Ha... Sometimes I go get all that off and nothing is in there. Felt like it. But all that off and on wears ya down when your not in tip top shape after all that has happened.
But I am getting the routine down pretty good. All I need is a bottle to rinse. Toilet paper of course.
I guess we should be thankful we don't have to use that sandpaper elsewhere anymore. My goodness that stuff is not butt friendly! Lol. And everyone knows what I mean. Especially if you have problems and it's already very irritated. I'm thankful I don't have to use it for that anymore.
