Xylospongium
I think it might be relevant to add a link to the Xylospongium stub under See Also, to mention "toilet paper" in antiquity. Temerarius (talk) 00:54, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
Toilet Roll Weight
I feel this is American centric or out dated Here in the UK Most toilet rolls I've weighed don't get near 200g Premium Andrex rolls for example are about 150g Asda toilet rolls 100g Cheapo stuff from the discount store 60g Under the "Size" discussion, it is stated that there are "issues with the size of the tissues," concerning the possible mismatch between the roll size and the roller. Can we please drop references to "issues?" I have rephrased this sentence, accordingly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Homebuilding (talk • contribs) 00:16, 22 November 2018 (UTC)
A lot of talk about colours, and dimensins... it seems that there shoul db emore discussion about available standard thickness, 1000/roll vs 200/roll ; scott vs charmin etc... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.124.116.101 (talk) 04:34, 31 May 2019 (UTC)
http://www.toiletpaperhistory.net - unreliable source
I doubt the reliability of this source that is used in the article. It contains odd opinions and maths that don't even make sense - for example: Maths: "In an average household, the average roll of toilet paper lasts approximately five days." (So an average household goes through 73 rolls a year (365/5) Except that doesn't tally with the quote further down: "The average person uses 100 rolls of toilet paper per year"
Opinion: "If you hang your toilet paper so you can pull it from the bottom, you're deemed to be more intelligent than someone who hangs their toilet paper and pulls it from the top." - by whom? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.252.150.23 (talk) 21:11, 20 October 2018 (UTC)
Status of article
I would like to request that this article be moved from no rating in the WikiProject Health and Fitness scope, to a B-Class quality rating, and a Top-Importance importance scale rating. As well, I think it's worth requesting that the article be moved from a C-Class quality rating, and Low-Importance importance rating in the WikiProject China scope, to a B-Class quality rating, and a Top-Importance importance rating. If these changes cannot be made, then I would like to request an explanation as to why this article doesn't deserve these ratings. Kcingham (talk) 02:29, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
