Single Ply Toilet Paper vs. Two Ply

Lately I have been having a problem with single ply toilet paper and my thumb breaking thru it when I wipe my ass and getting dookie on it. People tell me I should use 2 ply but I've heard horror stories about it being bad for septic tanks and clogging the bowl too much....what should I do?

Help :dunno:

Who the fuck uses singly ply??? And how weak us your plumbing that toilet paper is wreaking havok??? Don't use an entire roll and you'll be fine.
 
The only place I ever see single ply is public restrooms.

Toilet paper is designed to decompose in septic tanks...the problem is with other face wipes and shit that people flush down the toilet. Or, I guess, if you use half a roll at a time.

Here at ToC's country castle (you're not the only one with an estate, Miss Hybrid!!) I rely on a septic, and paper is an issue. Too much can clog the system and, slows down the rate of bacterial decomposition, which you don't want ... even with a weeping field.

The absolute worst thing you can put down a toilet with a septic system is Charmin, with Cotonelle running a close second. Both are so thick they do not break down well, form a thick layer on top of the tank contents and slow down enzymal digestion. Septic and Roto Roter guys make a fortune thanks to Charmin and Cotonelle.

The perceived wisdom in Scott single ply is the absolute best in terms of its quick break down once flushed.

If you want to use fancy quilted tissue for your sensitive little chocolate starfish, I suggest adopting the strategy we have here at Orange Manors - only brown tissue goes down. Every thing else goes in the waste basket.
