The Fonz Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Whats the benifits of using the expensive dissolvable toilet paper to regular toilet paper? *-) Over the past 18 months or so I have used regular toilet paper without any major issues however I did purchase some dissovlable toilet paper earlier in the year and noticed that it does seem to dissolve well but is it really worth the extra cash?

candapack Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I'm not clear as to what the benefit is, either to the user or the provider of the disposal facility, of faster dissolving tissue. Like you, weve used "domestic" grade tissue for 25 years with no problem, to us at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Kirby Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 The soluble paper is intended for use in installations that rely on septic tanks. If all the disposal facilities you use are connected to mains drainage, there is no need. However, many disposal facilities in rural areas are on septic tanks, and the non-soluble paper, some of which contains synthetic fibre for "wet strength", does not dissolve and can choke the systems. So, the "kind" default is to use soluble, as it is equally acceptable in either type of system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 We use cheap toilet paper and it seems to dissolve very well. The only one I can see causing big problems would be Izal, but it's been 25+ years since I've seen any of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 I find the dissolvable stuff easily flushes out of the cassette. I've never thought about the price differential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Who cares if it disolves? As long as it all flushes out of the cassette when you rinse it - assuming that you do rinse it out after emptying, and I always rinse out until the water runs clear, two or three goes usually - why does it matter if it has disolved or not as it will surely disolve eventually in the holding tank or septic tank, or wherever it all ends up! My dear wife insists on Andrex and we have never had any issues with it clogging the cassette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timabob Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I lived in a house with a septic tank for 20 years and during that period all my neighbours relied on septictanks. We all used standard toilet paper with no problems. Therefore I would not change toilet paper on the basis that it's better for septic tanks.

Derek Uzzell Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 This video-clip compares the fast-dissolving aspect of Thetford’s “Aqua Soft” toilet paper compared to the ‘ordinary’ product. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHo5fO_MOqA Whether the special paper is worth the extra cost is often asked and the Camping and Caravannong Club’s advice is here http://www.campingandcaravanningclub.co.uk/helpandadvice/gettingstarted/campingequipment/toilets/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fonz Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 Thank you everyone for your helpful advise. It would seem that if you use regular toilet paper with a cassette type toilet and you do not over use toilet paper then it should be fine. I will not be buying the extra dissoluble again. Happy travels all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Poetry in motions, Andrex by the roll, Won't polllute the oceans, Or block my toilet bowl. Flushed it with success, It empties every day, To fill up someone's cess, And filter all away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennyhb Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I was given some as samples once was worse than standard stuff, just a marketing con. We always stock up on French or German bog rolls they are narrower than UK ones do the job just as well but not throwing so much paper in the bog. Also if you drive the van before emptying every thing dissolves just a slurry to empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
