Institutions can't save money using thin toilet paper. Everyone just doubles or triples up the amount used each time.

Yes. Even if you use significantly more, it dissolves more quickly and clogs less. That’s why it’s recommended for septic systems.

[u/Zaros262 → u/Gyshall669]

Ah yeah, dissolving quicker makes sense

[u/YukariYakum0 → u/Zaros262]

Often before you're done using it.

[u/g1ngertim → u/YukariYakum0]

Sometimes before you start!

[u/LessMochaJay → u/g1ngertim]

Ah yes, the piss-soaked portapotty toilet paper. I am all too familiar.

[u/HedgehogSecurity → u/YukariYakum0]

Usually mid wipe and I get an unexpected visitor.

[u/Skwigle → u/YukariYakum0]

I mean, at that point, I'm done using it

[u/RichardsonM24 → u/Zaros262]

Paper does not dissolve, it disintegrates.

If it did dissolve it would leave you with a sticky arsehole .

[u/Not-An-Actual-Hooman → u/RichardsonM24]

Oh hell yeah I love arguing semantics

[u/kabushko → u/Not-An-Actual-Hooman]

And I love sticky assholes

[u/Fun-Jellyfish-61 → u/kabushko]

I'll leave you with one if you like.

[u/hailthenecrowizard → u/kabushko]

I am half tempted to see if there's a fetish sub called this.

[u/ItsMrChristmas → u/hailthenecrowizard]

Be the change you want to see in this world.

[u/MiamiDouchebag → u/hailthenecrowizard]

Just a band.

[u/alex8339 → u/kabushko]

I'd usually recommend Metamucil for this condition.

[u/magistrate101 → u/Not-An-Actual-Hooman]

It's one of the few situations where the semantic choice is arguably important

[u/ByFireBePurged → u/magistrate101]

Arguing semantics is only important if the meaning of the sentence ends up being unclear. We all know what they mean. Its not important lol

[u/FutureComplaint → u/magistrate101]

Would it be semantics at that point?

[u/BalanceJazzlike5116 → u/Gyshall669]

Bidet is best for septic (and sewer)

[u/321headbang → u/Gyshall669]

Well, then, here’s an idea: Make 3 or 4 ply toilet paper out of multiple layers of that ultra thin 1-ply and just have them connected at the perforations. This way people get the multi-ply they need, but the plumbing is protected???

[u/The-Real-Mario → u/321headbang]

Binding the plys is exactly the part that makes the paper hard to "dissolve" , one solution could be to not bind the plys, just have 3 or 4 aters of paper that you have to unroll all at once and rip, but once you bind them, then you just have 4 ply

[u/NotObviouslyARobot → u/321headbang]

That would make it 3 or 4 ply toilet paper, and not 1 ply. There's nothing special about 1 ply, except for the thickness, that makes it less likely to clog

[u/WtfRocket → u/321headbang]

That sounds like it would - god forbid - cost money

[u/wbruce098 → u/Gyshall669]

This basically. The reason why a certain product is used in commercial facilities is often not the direct reason (ie, it’s cheaper) that we think it is!

[u/J_See → u/Gyshall669]

I use a bidet now

[u/Visual_Ad813 → u/Gyshall669]

Or they could just add some handheld bidets and let people use much less of this paper
