Alright, let’s talk about something a bit different today. I actually went out and tried colored toilet paper. Yeah, you heard me right.
It started pretty randomly. I think I saw an ad or maybe a picture somewhere online. Pink, blue, even black toilet paper. My first thought was, well, that’s kinda weird. Why mess with a classic, right? White toilet paper does the job. But then, a part of me got curious. Why not? Could be a bit of fun, maybe brighten up the bathroom a little.
Finding the Stuff
So, I decided to actually look for it. Wasn’t as easy as just walking into my usual supermarket. Most places just have the standard white rolls, maybe an off-white eco version. I ended up searching online. Found a few places selling it, mostly novelty shops or specialty stores. The prices were definitely higher than my regular brand, which made me hesitate for a second. But hey, I was committed to the experiment by this point.
I looked through the options. There were bright blues, soft pinks, greens… even patterned ones, but I decided to keep it simple. I picked up a pack of light blue. Seemed like a safe bet, not too shocking.
First Look and Feel
When the package arrived, I opened it up. Okay, seeing a blue toilet roll was definitely different. I swapped out the white roll in my main bathroom. It looked… noticeable. Like a statement piece, but, you know, for toilet paper. Kinda funny, actually.
Touching it, the paper felt alright. Not super plush like some fancy brands, but not scratchy cheap stuff either. Seemed pretty standard, just colored.
The Actual Experience
Now for the main event – using it. Honestly, it felt exactly the same as regular toilet paper. No difference in texture or strength during use. The big question I had, and maybe you have too, was about the dye. Would it… you know… transfer? Happy to report, nothing like that happened. No blue streaks left behind, no skin irritation, nothing weird at all. It just worked like normal toilet paper.
I used it for about a week, went through the whole roll. Guests didn’t really say much, maybe they didn’t notice, or maybe they were just being polite! I did point it out to a friend, and they just laughed and thought it was a quirky little thing.
So, Was It Worth It?
Here’s my breakdown after giving it a go:
- The Good: It definitely adds a pop of color. If you’re really into matching your bathroom decor down to the smallest detail, I guess this works. It’s a conversation starter, maybe? A bit of unexpected fun.
- The Not-So-Good: It’s more expensive. It’s harder to find. And really, at the end of the day, its primary function is the same as the white stuff, which costs less and is everywhere. I didn’t have issues with the dye, but I’ve read some people worry about that with certain brands.
My final thoughts? It was an interesting little experiment. Fun to try once, maybe get a pack for a party or just to shake things up. But for everyday use? Nah, I’ll probably stick to my regular white rolls. It’s just easier and cheaper. The novelty wore off pretty quickly, and practicality won out. Still, glad I tried it just to see what it was all about.
