Hello all,

Just returned to the UK from Switzerland and noticed that 4-ply toilet paper isn't available in the UK, at least not in the major supermarket chains. Why is this and where can I find some?

Apologies for this slightly odd post.

Thank you in advance smile

I use 3 ply, would 6 be excessive?

Hopefully better then the single ply I discovered in India. Woefully lacking in structural integrity. eek

It does baffle me that if someone got poop on their arm they wouldn't dab it with a dry paper towel. Yet the ring apparently it's adequate yuck
