So, as a first class virgin, there is a question that haunts my soul with every trip to the economy lav........Is BF toilet paper better? Do you guys get, dare I say, double ply????
On a similar note, on a packed 777 how many rolls does a 10 hour flight go through?
I'm taking CO90 EWR-TLV next week and want to buy enough good double ply for the entire economy cabin. How much should I get?

Sounds like you want to force an emergency landing by clogging the lavs. How wonderfully evil.

are you wondering about CO TP or TPs aboard aircraft in general?

This sounds like a topic for travel buzz, omni or maybe, this topic is the start of a new "special interest" category and the moderators can change the title to of this thread to "Airline Toilet Paper: The Definitive Thread"

In order to bring sufficient toilet paper for the entire economy cabin, you'd have to drag along one of those 12 packs of Cottonelle. A nice gesture, but not worth the effort, IMO. I must say that I have yet to encounter anyone putting a 12 pack of toilet paper on the TSA conveyor belt.

I recommend Costco brand. Their rolls are individually wrapped, making for easier distribution.

I think the toilet paper used on planes is a special type that breaks down more quickly in the waste holding tanks, kind of like the special type of toilet paper sold for use in RVs. Using regular toilet paper in the aircraft lavatory might result in plumbing problems.

I thought I read where AlGore and Hillary are urging that you only use 1 square of TP. But, of course, you can buy carbon credits from one of AlGores companies and use the normal amount.

Why not go truly first class and provide everyone with adult sized "baby wipes." Cottonelle brands there name to a unique flip top box, and Charmin has convenient pocket sized bags.

It would have to be coming out of my eyes before I would ever even consider taking a dooty on a plane. Any plane. Ever.
