Lavatory paper, toilet tissue, bog roll, bumwad, arse wipe, shit tickets; we all need it but I can’t find a good one for a reasonable price.
Obviously I don’t want the tracing paper you get in a public toilet, but it seems a waste to pay for the quadruple-velvet perfume-soaked premium nonsense. Supermarket own brand is soft enough but tends to fall apart. Who Gives A Crap is environmentally friendly but their basic stuff disintegrates immediately and their premium stuff is even more expensive than the fancy Andrex.
And no, there’s no room for a bidet.
If they didn’t sell you the giant package, you wouldn’t need to also buy a storage container.
I don’t believe that’s irony. That’s just “good business”.
Irony would be selling you something to reduce the amount of storage space required (e.g. those vacuum bags) but they’re sold, in bulk, in massive containers taking up the room they were supposed to create for you.
