My Charmin forever roll starter kit arrived today. The wife is less than pleased with my impulse purchase but I've assured her that it's a good deal if the rolls actually last 1 month each. I will let y'all know how long it actually lasts.

So...its like an Everlasting Gobstopper for your butt? Wipe, and wipe and the roll never gets any smaller?
In reply to Appleseed :
They are basically the size of the commercial rolls you see at Walmart but Charmin ultra soft instead of sandpaper. I will say right off the bat that the base it came with is very sturdy and much nicer than I expected
I thought those ads were a joke.. That's hilarious that it's actually real!

A normal roll of toilet paper already lasts me a month so I always laugh at those ads.
I predict that this thread will go to E36 M3 in a hurry.
It may be a short lived experiment unless we keep the bathroom door closed at all times...
I have 4 cats and two kids under the age of 4. Giving them access to a toilet roll that size there would be a disaster, but the photos would make for some great memes.
Wow that would occupy a two year old for half an hour.
I have seen these ads on the Book of Faces and I wondered if this was an elaborate joke. Everything seemed legit but I wondered if they'd actually let you check out and place an order.
What really makes me laugh, more than the product itself, is the number of people there who seem to wind themselves up into an absolute rage over the existence of this.
This would be a great addition to a guest bathroom, rec room bathroom, or someone running an AirBNB. Nice to have a little light-hearted "WTF" in life every now and then.

Over everything and anything. Everyone is a snowflake on the internet. Prove me wrong.

I've clearly been known to fly off the handle about dumb E36 M3, but anyone getting upset about proper toilet paper in an industrial roll should be forced to use 40 grit single ply for a week.

Like..........people are getting upset over a large toilet paper roll? There are some stuff I understand why people whine, but mostly think to myself, "Shut up and move on." But I'm really having a hard time understanding why this would "trigger" someone.

"So you're saying your husband had a stroke and a heart attack at the same time?"
"Yes... well, he does get a bit passionate about toilet paper."
(I have no idea why anybody would get angry over toilet paper. Or really, any product that is for sale. Don't like it, don't buy it, move on with life)
In reply to z31maniac :
It's a lot of "STUPID MILLENIALS ARE TOO LAZY TO CHANGE THE TOILET PAPER ROLL, THIS IS EVERYTHING WRONG WITH AMERICA TODAY" etc etc.
Just your typical mean-spirited people with no sense of humor whatsoever...seriously, if you catch a targeted ad for this on Facebook, just scroll through the comments. It's wild.
Its nice to know you will always have a square to spare, which was a line Elaine used in Seinfeld, which is in itself a little interesting as Jerry was known to remove all the rolls of toilet paper from the bathrooms in his house when he had guests because he hated the thought of people pooping at his house.
The only time I get angry about toilet paper is when it's cheap garbage that still has bark on it from the tree.
Ass wipe is worth spending a little extra on, people.
Yea I was one of those people that thought it was a joke at first too. But once it let me actually add it to my cart it was a no brainer. While I don't think it's something I will stick with long term, the wife's reaction had certainly been worth the $29

But you're literally flushing money down the toilet!

MazdaFace I look forward to updates on roll size like it was a car build. For science.
I'm ok with cheap toilet paper, even thin toilet paper (just grab more!), but recently my office went to something that more closely resembles cardboard. It is thick. It is also not at all soft. Not a pleasent experience.
Ok, story time. Back in college, we seemed to go through toilet paper at an alarming rate. Probably because there were 4 of us living there, and only 1 toilet. Well, one of my roommates and I were both (and still are) ice hockey refs. There was one particular ice rink that had the worlds worst ref room (locker room for the refs). It was a closet. Quite literally, a closet. Well my roommate had a game there, and noticed that they decided to take up wayyyy too much of the little space that was there with toilet paper rolls. The big ones. No room to get dressed in there. So he decides, hey, we're always out of TP, and here there is too much TP! What a solution!
Those 3 rolls last us the entire semester. I think I jury-rigged a holder using the existing TP holder and some length of ethernet cord. I miss college.
My mother-in-law always bought cheap 1-ply toilet paper, which (understandably, I thought) always enraged my FIL.
Paul Suddard used to refer to it as "John Wayne toilet paper, because it's rough and tough and doesn't take E36 M3 off of anybody."
