Colored Toilet Paper?

10_03coloredTP.jpg Colored toilet paper? We had heard the black TP thing going around as the new hot item, which OK... we can see how it would be a cool thing for a club but now the same company has added other dayglow colors to it's line up as well if you're in need of color in the family restroom.

ahemm...we're just having a slight issue with ...the idea [sure it doesn't happen]....of dye transfer issues? a green 'package' wouldn't be so alluring.

 
 

I'm sure next up, the company will figure out a way to put a corporate logo on them. Because we all need to know what kind of alcohol we should buy next when we're in the loo at the bar.

So readers? would you buy colored TP for your home if you had the opportunity? Call us boring, but we're sticking to white in our household.

available online Renova colored TP

when i say shit you ask what color.

I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.

The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it.

upPsycho logical.

You should do this as a poll.

My answer is no. Unbleached, unprocessed, and natural TP, yes. Putting more dye into the paper? No. We do not need this and it shouldn't be placed in our environment or our landfills.

N O.
In addition to what Lisa says (we don't need this in our environment!) there is potential for urinary tract infections for women who are sensitive to dye. Secondly, and I hope this isn't too graphic or TMI for this site, but as Celine Dion says "The Truth is in Ze Poop". Checking your waste is a way to check for problems (such as blood in the stool) and colored toilet paper would get in the way.
I will be sticking to white toilet paper. There are countless other ways to include color in the bathroom, toilet paper doesn't need to be one of them.

Not to hate on something so minor as toilet paper, but... this is the interior design version of being a fashion victim. If you need to match everything that thoroughly... Obsessive Compulsive Disorder much?

Also, I don't like things that look glowy and toxic near my lady parts. I'm just saying.

A few years ago, didn't someone manufacture Gucci double-G logo TP before they were served a cease-and-desist order by LVMH? Maybe they did it as an art project? Gosh, where's Tyler Brule when you need him...

about 25 years ago colored TP was very popular. It was pulled off the market because of health concerns.
