First off, do not buy 1-ply toilet paper, no matter how cheap it is. You will be paying for it! If I don't have 2-ply TP I am going insane. I might as well be using sandpaper to wipe my butt instead of using paper for all that it is worth. I have tried to go for those cheapie brands that promise softness for less and other such bogus shenanigans of marketing ploys to lure you into buying their inferior toilet paper before. But I declare no more. I do not understand why public restrooms insist on stocking 1-ply toilet paper in their bathrooms. Are they trying to keep us from using them so they don't have to clean them as often?
Second, really thin 2-ply toilet paper is just as bad as 1-ply! If you rub it between your fingers and you hear a rustling noise, it is too rough! You ladies should know what I am talking about. You don't want to be using something on your hind end that feels like you could take a pencil to it and write a story on it. You just don't. You will feel the aftermath later on. I promise you this.
Third, if you can pull it apart easily when trying to unravel the first little sheet, this will keep happening, over and over, and over again! Mark my words, I know from experience that kids love to do this with your rolls of toilet paper. Even some adults. Go figure. You will waste more time and energy trying to keep the ply's from running away from each other than the toilet paper saved you to begin with. It is not worth it.
Fourth, little furry things are not my friend! How to put this delicately? Well, there are certain brands of toilet paper out there that are full of lint. Not literally lint, but the paper equivalent of it, and it gets everywhere. Literally, EVERYWHERE. When you unroll the toilet paper the stuff goes flying into the air, when you rip off a sheet, there goes some more. When you are wiping your....Well you get the picture. As a woman and as a parent of two boys and also a young girl, I don't like the idea of where all of this (lint) is piling up, if you get my drift.
Fifth, do we really need all those quilted squares? Do they really work all that much better? Not in my opinion and trials, no. They just cost more, and they rip apart because of the quilted squares. Annoying nuisances. There went the little grannies and there pretty little blonde headed friend. Oh well.
Sixth, I am a value shopper at heart. That is why I finally settled on Angel Soft. They have all the things that I require in a toilet paper along with being able to get them in a nice big bulk size for a pretty good price. I don't require a double, or triple roll. I know how to change my toilet paper roll is empty. Just give me a toilet paper that is soft, that stays together, and that doesn't leave me full of lint please.
Thank you Angel Soft!

lol, thanks for the comments. My mom basically dared me to write this article, because she really didn't think I could do it and still sound half-way professional about it. ;0) I insist on traveling with toilet paper everywhere! lol
A great article on a very personal preference. In Africa even when I am travelling in the wild, I insist on soft toilet paper for all the reasons you have stated. Lol
