Toilet Paper vs Paper Towel Battle

Which One is Better in the Toilet?

toilet paper vs kitchen towel

Yes. Someone had to ask this question eventually.
I had an argument with my sister. She insisted on using kitchen paper in the toilet. Her argument is: it’s cheaper and better, so I’ll settle this once and for all.
Which one makes more sense to use?
Bear with me, there will be some basic math:

Calculations

All I'm going to do is,

  • Choose a product from the store she shops in. Walmart.
  • Pick the cheapest bulk sized of both products
  • Put them against each other in a battle of "who can better wipe your excrements? "

We'll be using solving this problem via the Euler integral using this simple equation

Just kidding. I'll put everything in the chart below and each column will be a step:

Sheets/RollRollsTotal SheetsPriceSheets/$Sheets/triptrips/$
Toilet Paper26436950415.975958.669
Paper Towel11612139217.4780240

where
sheets/dollar = sheets*rolls/price
sheets/trip = how many you need to use every toilet visit

By looking at how many wipes you get for one US dollar (trip/$), we've arrived at a clear winner:
Toilet papers will save you money in the toilet department, as its name implies.
Well, I guess it’s settled... Or is it? * insert dramatic violens*
If we include Walmart’s brand Great Value Paper Towels we’re getting a better number:

The Verdict: Tissue vs Toilet Paper

So it’s almost a tie. NOW, who wins!?
Still, toilet paper.

It doesn’t clog your pipes.
So go home everyone and rest assured, you’ve been using the correct paper inside your toilet all along.
You're welcome.

Now who can solve the side-up/side-down question?
Toilet Paper Side Down

Sort:  

Paper Towel is more well rounded. I use them for cleaning, as a serviette, as a food cover, I also use them as a wipes you just need a water. 😉😉😉

That's true. It's just such a hassle having them in the only place I don't want them in! 😫

But if you run out of toilet paper, as a born Filipino we just use water and soap to wash. Fresher feeling than wiping it with toilet paper. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

@tarek plus, there is no risk of buying toilet paper that actually already has soap/disinfectant on it! I can only imagine the pain that would follow...
