To only want white toilet roll in my house?

DP has bought peach toilet roll.

It is on the toilet roll holder.

It is making my teeth itch every time I walk past.

Toilet roll needs to be white. Coloured loo roll is the work of the devil.

At least he has hung it the right way round, though.

Yessss! You can be my pal Neo!
Incidentally, Aldi do an awful loo roll called aroma - it's scented. Of all the products you really wouldn't want to go around sniffing...

Black toilet roll you say? I don't approve. You'd have to peer very carefully to make sure all 'debris' had been wiped from bumhole onto said paper.

Only white here and it has to put on the right way....or else! My MIL has toilet roll patterned with bright flowers and stars and shells adorning her loo. God knows where she gets it? I may have to stop using her facility until she stops buying it

My in-laws have several loos in their house and all of them have different patterned loo roll, some of which is scented.

Nice for a change (except the scented stuff - puke).

Luckily DH and I agree on white only.

DP was given novelty toilet paper one christmas by his mother. It had crosswords on it. Never again. He spends long enough in the toilet. To be discouraged at all costs.

I only have white. But stars and seahorses appeal, I may have to have a wander tomorrow!

YANBU at all. DH bought some coloured stuff recently (he's colour blind, quite why I trusted him I don't know) and I used far more than was necessary for each wipe just to finish the stuff off so that we could return to white.

I also get quite twitchy when he returns home with patterned kitchen roll.

You Are All Wrong! Not least because you are using the word 'toilet' Wink

Bathroom suites should be white - loo paper coloured

When we had a white suite but pink tiles on floor and walls < my choice>, we had pink loo roll.

In Germany some years ago, they had much cheaper recycled paper loo rolls, and DH said we'll use them.
They were hard and a grey colour.

Now I use soft white quilted.

On my packet of White toilet roll from the co-op, it was called "bathroom tissue" or something similarly WTF?

On another note, YABU as really who cares what you wipe your bum with as long as it's soft enough not to scratch, and absorbent enough not to need half a roll each time. I can't buy the patterned paper however; it just seems far too pretty to wipe shit!

My DM has toilet roll to match each bathroom! Pink in en suite, White in main bathroom, peach (yes I know) in downstairs loo!

DP has bought blue loo roll Angry. Normally I get annoyed at the amount he uses but this week I am encouraging him to use far more than is necessary. I will not have my bathroom sullied with colouref lavatory paper!
