In the US, people can be pretty picky about their toilet paper. My parents would actually buy the double cushioned, lotioned, extra strong tp, so my tush was pretty dainty growing up. In college though, most of my toilet paper was snatched from university bathrooms (something I'm not proud of) but it was like sandpaper. That stuff was rough, but it was free so I never minded so much.
But I hate Chinese toilet paper.
It's like stretchy, so it's hard to get a clean rip. Then when you finally manage to wrestle it off, it's all malformed and difficult to get into a proper wiping position. It also has a sandpaper consistency. It's kinda thick, so you can't flush it. Also, there's no cardboard hole in the middle. What's up with that?
My biggest problem with the Chinese toilet paper is that it's so rough it makes me bleed. I admit that I'm a notorious over-wiper, but man Chinese paper is horrible. I'm caught between under-wiping (EEEWWWW!!!) or a painful bottom. It's a battle in there. I already dread my bathroom visits enough, the last thing I need is to fight with my toilet paper.
Luckily, Eric and I have found western toilet paper to use. Yea, it's a teensy bit more expensive, but totally worth it to have a clean rip and a relatively pain-free bathroom experience. Some of my friends use baby wipes. I just started to use them, and my bathroom times have been cut in half. Amazing. Highly recommended from our side of the world.
Chinese people must have some tough bottoms. It makes me have a new respect for them. But, I'm still an American and my tush hasn't adjusted to sandpaper yet. So for now, I'm avoiding Chinese toilet paper and embracing baby wipes.
