Do you ever notice all the dust that comes out of toilet paper

and how it fills the air in the bathroom anytime you tear off a sheet? Check it out next time the sun is shining through the window and you tear off a few feet of TP. In the right lighting, you can see billions of TP dust particles floating in the air, millions of which get sucked into our lungs.

For example, just this morning I'm sitting there opening up a new roll, and out comes all this dust. Tear some off the roll...and !POOF!...out come more dust bombs. That stuff can't be all that good for you to breathe in all the time. I've noticed the same thing with certain brands of tissues. Yikes.

1. LOL!!!

What time do you get up in the morning? That is probably one of the last things I would ever notice while "sitting there" first thing in the morning. You are far more observant than I would be.:)

4. I'm allergic to several brands...

especially Charmin, because they add perfume to their fuzz-particles.
It makes me sneeze. It makes my ass itch; pardon my bluntness.

The best stuff is Seventh Generation. It's not as soft as some, but it's as soft as it needs to be, in my opinion. And it breaks down better than other brands, so it's better for the environment and your plumbing.
