All I know is I am the only person in my house who knows how to put a new roll on, because every time I need it, all I see is cardboard!

it's good for all the pansies in the world, who's mama never taught 'em that baby wipes are far healthier for a man or a wo-man's rearside than home & tree decoratin rolls. why would a person use decoratin paper to wipe with, seriously now? y'all are in for some painful times. that stuff'll give you the hem-rhoids. baby wipes are so much the nicer way to clean ones ****.

It's white. It's good for "bear bottoms" as on the Charmin commercial. It has places where you can tear it easily. It comes on a roll. Some people fold it over, and other people scrunch it.

I know it sucks when you run out at a public bathroom and you have to wipe with one of those harsh brown paper towls.

589 AD: the first mentioning of toilet paper in China
851 AD: the first foreign source (Arab-Muslim) to confirm the use of toilet paper in China.
c. 1300 AD: first records of the massive amounts of toilet paper manufactured in China.
1391: 720 sheets of toilet paper produced in China for the Hongwu Emperor's court, while 15000 special sheets were produced solely for the royal family. Sheets were approximately 60cm x 90cm.
1596: invention of the flushing toilet
1700s: newspaper is a popular choice of toilet paper, since it is widely available
1710s: the bidet invented.
1792: the Old Farmer's Almanac begins publication; there are several publications by the same name, as well as the Farmer's Almanac, which began publication in 1960. Pages from these publications were often ripped out and used as toilet paper, and later editions have holes punched in them so they could be hung from a hook in outhouses.
1857: Joseph Gayetty sells first factory-made toilet paper (Gayetty's Medicated Paper) in the USA. These were loose, flat, sheets of paper, pre-moistened and medicated with aloe; each sheet has Gayetty's name printed on it. It sold at five hundred sheets for fifty cents and was known as Gayetty's Medicated Paper - "a perfectly pure article for the toilet and for the prevention of piles." An advertisement for Gayetty's Medicated Paper can be found here.
1877: The Albany Perforated Wrapping Paper Company of Albany, New York sells Perforated toilet paper ('The Standard'). It is sold 'by all the leading druggists' and is not medicated. It is marketed as being free of 'all deleterious substances' which includes printed materials and chemicals 'incident to the ordinary process of manufacture (which is) a cause of hemorrhoids.' In addition, medicated toilet paper which is 'heavily charged with ointment' was offered for 'sufferers of hemorrhoids.'
1879: Scott Paper Company sells the first toilet paper on a roll, although initially they do not print their company name on the packaging. Toilet paper was sold under the name of various industrial customers, including the Waldorf Hotel, which led to the popular Waldorf brand of toilet paper.
Late 19th century: rolls of perforated toilet paper available for the first time, replaces razor or knife on dispensers
1900: plumbing improvements of the Victorian era have led to wide use of flushing toilet and (in Europe) the bidet.
1935: Northern Tissue advertises its toilet paper as "splinter-free"
1942: first two-ply toilet paper from St. Andrew's Paper Mill in England; toilet paper becomes softer and more pliable. For most of the rest of the twentieth century, both 'hard' and 'soft' paper was common. Hard was cheaper, and was shiny on one side. Sometimes it had messages like 'GOVERNMENT PROPERTY', 'IZAL MEDICATED' or 'NOW WASH YOUR HANDS PLEASE' written on each sheet near the perforation. Eventually soft paper won out as the price differential between the two papers vanished. Hard paper is seldom seen these days in UK, but is still available.
1943: novelty toilet paper printed with images of Hitler (Note: The use of toilet paper of any type in wartime Britain was officially discouraged due to paper shortages. The widespread use of newspaper for this purpose was revived and one government propaganda newsreel suggested that anyone finding nazi propaganda leaflets dropped from planes should use them for this purpose.)
1964: Procter and Gamble introduces a fictitious Mr. Whipple, a grocer who begins admonishing customers, “Please don’t squeeze the Charmin!
1973 December 19: comedian Johnny Carson causes a three week toilet paper shortage in the USA after a joke scares consumers into stockpiling supplies
1980: the paperless toilet invented in Japan (combination toilet, bidet and drying element, see Japanese toilet)
1990s: papers containing ingredients like aloe begin to be heavily marketed in the USA
2000s: toilet paper is commonly available in hundreds of different designs, colors, and prints.
