Slick Toilet Paper...

Seems to me they intentionally make some toilet paper with a "slick surface"
so it will not "wipe" as well and you will therefore use more toilet paper
"to get the job done"... (Then they sell more toilet paper.)

I have solved this problem. When I have been eating something greasy and it
"comes out the other end", I use a sheet of paper towel and this gets most
of the job done with a quickness! Paper towels are not slick in the least.

I placed a paper towel holder in the bathroom for drying dirty hands
(working on car or whatever), but I'm thinking of placing another paper
towel holder next to the toilet paper!

not a good idea, unless you like plumbing bills

nothing should be put down a toilet other than human waste
and toilet tissue, both break apart quickly in water. paper
towels will not break apart and end up clinging to any rough
surface in the pipes that then need to be rootered out.

water soluble is true for all the waste drains. no grease
or oil, coffee grounds, hair. put this stuff in a paper
towel and toss it in the trash. our neighbor (plumber) gave
us this wisdom 30 years ago, also helped us cut down a tree
a few feet from our yard line. he sent his kids and some
grandkids thru college augering drain lines.

forgot to add - shop around, you can find inexpensive tissue
that works well. don't have the labels, but northern/
northwestern?($G/F$) and even krogers store brand 99 cent
six pack work well.

a 2 roll holder is a good addition, guys and gals do have a
distinct preference for sturdy and soft tissue ;-)

not all break apart easily. i've found that the single ply ones do it
best.
some of the double ply ones are stuck together and i've found that my
plumbing doesn't work as well with them. so now it's single ply upstairs
where dh goes and double ply down where i pull it apart first.
