tp / bidet

[darkoshi]

Today I learned that the "Total Area" listed on packages of toilet paper is the amount for all the rolls together, not the amount per roll. The numbers made a lot more sense once I realized that. I'd been trying to figure out how the 240-sheet rolls could possibly have a bigger area than the same-size 300-sheet rolls... but they didn't; the package just had more rolls in it.

.

I'm thinking of getting one of those non-electric toilet bidet attachments. I plan to try it out on a toilet that only I use, which ought to reduce the squick factor a lot for me, but still I don't know.

If any of you has advice on what to look for or what to avoid, please share.

They look so weird to me. Little tubes ejecting and angling upwards. So phallic.

At first I was thinking of trying out a "bidet bottle" instead, and maybe I still will. But even the ones with long spouts must be awkward to use.

That still doesn't explain why they use hectares.

[darkoshi]

Where are hectares used? It would be interesting if the packages said how many hectares of trees had to be cut down to make the contents, though it would be a small number per package. But it should demonstrate the difference between the ones made out of virgin vs recycled paper content.

Sometimes I do not completely understand your comments. But I'm starting to think that there are bound to be some difficulties with vulpine-human intercommunication.

...Dreamwidth cut out my /s with angle brackets. It was intended as a joke. ^_^;

But yeah, I do regard tangential thoughts as adequate basis for comments. Let me know if that becomes annoying. :P

[darkoshi]

It's not annoying or any kind of problem. It gives my brain some exercise trying to figure out what you are saying. :)
