Are westerners being robbed of TP when we get the hollow rolls? Is communism the right path after all?
You can buy something like this here in the US.
The roll is smaller, and they market it as being made for camping (takes up less space in the pack, etc). It also, of course, costs more because of this, since modern camping gear loves to price gouge.
If you’re going to pack TP though, just spool what you need around something smaller in diameter (like a skewer). Or if you know what you’re doing then just use leaves instead, those are free.
if you know what you’re doing then just use leaves
For those who may not know what they’re doing, I’ve crafted a handy guide:
Or just use one of these.
Without that last image for context, I would have assumed you stick the cork part into your butt and poop spaghetti out the other side.
What is this
With sumac water?
@Allero@lemmy.today - portable bidet. Clever design! Better than many I think:
Do want
Interesting, thanks!

That’s an option here in Japan, though most don’t use it. I’m pretty sure some people sell that style in the US as well. I use one that has a hole but no cardboard insert.
Here in Vietnam we use the whole toilet paper! That’s 65% more toilet paper per toilet paper!
That’s called coreless TP and you can get it in the US too, mostly from institutional suppliers. You can also try Asian markets like Ranch 99 if you are near one.
Life after Zionism
I see your Vietnam toilet paper and raise it with with my paradoxical environmental savings whatever this is (lights were on when this picture taken):
This is common in US motels and some hotels. It’s supposed to say that one should put their towel on the floor, rather than the rack, to have it replaced.
toilet paper without cardboard roll centers are much cheaper to produce, though impossible to place in a toilet paper holder, so they sit on the sink, or the floor, or a long nail in the wall
Do they not have holders specifically designed for it? Could just have two rollers that support it from the bottom.
There are plastic containers similar to box tissue but are round with a hole in the middle of the lid. Then you pull the toilet paper from the center of the roll.
We used to have one at home. It’s like a clam shell – the roll sits in the bottom half, the hinged top half closes on top, and the paper is threaded through a wide gap.
Well look at the genius who figured out the sea shells!
Did you model that whole thing just to show us what you meant?
Yep.
That’s awesome dude, nice work! I wish I were this good in blender. I have to use CAD to make my models and then export them to the scene in blender. It’s an annoying workflow but I’m just not good at “traditional” modeling in blender
they have tp holders for those tubeless rolls. It’s hung on the wall like a box with a slit at the bottom to pull the tp through.
Tbf I can’t remember the last time I used a toilet paper holder.
I get my servants to hold one for me while I need it
I mean, it’s own toilet roll, Micheal. What could it cost, 10 dollars?
you use it to place the roll standing on top
What’s my wife doing on Lemmy wrf
TBF I can’t remember the last time I used toilet paper.
Bidet shower master race.
Depends on how many sheets there are per roll, and how many layers.
I’ve been on Lemmy for about a year, so I’m certain that communism is the only right path.
I’m sorry, the right answer was anarchosyndicalism.
Send this red fascist class traitor to the mines.
Good man! It also happened to be Vietnams national holiday here yesterday, and so there were national flags and hammer and sickle flags everywhere, festivals, and street performances about Ho Chi Minh and the struggle aganst France, China, US, and TBH i never felt so patriotic for a country not my own!
It’s their Independence Day, September 2nd.
Yes, the night time street festivals and celebrations were amazing in Hanoi and Ninh Binh, Im so lucky I happened to come at this time.
and 2 weeks later will be the Moon Festival. It’s like the whole city is on hallucinogens LOL so many light and colors.
Same, I’ve installed Arch on my ThinkPad, shaved my legs and put on knee high stockings. I also give every car a middle finger and swear when walking past parking lots. Lemmy has radicalized me in surprising ways.
did you libreboot it tho?
and also use framework
Legitimately curious about the stockings. I get all the other jokes in this thread but that one went over my head.
They transed their gender
I like your profile picture.
I appreciate me some Superintendent love. 👍
But do you hate AI?
loathe. i loathe ai
I fucking hate it. I’ve lost all my friends because I was just spamming anti AI memes from Lemmy to everyone I knew. They’ve all blocked me, but I’d like to think they will think twice before “doing AI”.
There are some commercial rolls I’ve seen in the US that seem to be a happy medium…the holder itself in the stall has a thin plastic rod for the TP to go on, and the rolls have a very small opening in the center (and no cardboard) to go on that rod.
Where do you think all the centers of our TP go?
They sell them as donut holes near the airport
Shitposting is being taken a little too literally lately
The toilet paper I used in Taiwan was in the form of individual pieces folded up like American tissues for blowing your nose. I even accused my host of making me use tissues, but she showed me that they were actually marketed as toilet paper. Oh, and I couldn’t flush them. That was not embarrassing at all.
Dumpin’ in the trash can
In Brazil I saw a toiled paper that the center was filled with another roll, so you’d need to remove that center to put it in your bathroom and use it as a “portable toilet paper” to carry with you
But what about all the kids crafts and hamster tubes?
