Are westerners being robbed of TP when we get the hollow rolls? Is communism the right path after all?
I see at least 3 plys.
But what about all the kids crafts and hamster tubes?
That's an option here in Japan, though most don't use it. I'm pretty sure some people sell that style in the US as well. I use one that has a hole but no cardboard insert.
I see your Vietnam toilet paper and raise it with with my paradoxical environmental savings whatever this is (lights were on when this picture taken):
Solid TP rolls are quite common in Asia. Not sure if this is still true, but a lot of public toilets don't provide toilet paper for fear of people stealing them. You have to bring your own TP, at which point including the cardboard insert takes up too much space to carry around.
I got a box of these from Amazon in 2020. (In USA)
Are you still using them?
They were kinda handy to have around tbh. Like, tissue in my backpack during allergy season, or in my car. I think we used them as tp on a camping trip.
At home, we only used them until the usual tp rolls came back into supply.
They came in a pretty big package so we had them around for a couple years, but I think they're all gone now... So, yeah we used them, maybe not as intended and maybe not favorably, but they saved my ass in 2020, literally!
Depends on how many sheets there are per roll, and how many layers.
That's called coreless TP and you can get it in the US too, mostly from institutional suppliers. You can also try Asian markets like Ranch 99 if you are near one.
