I’ve had hemorrhoids for like 25 years, so I’ve always been very discerning about my toilet paper.

this entire time, I’ve been using whatever toilet paper I have found to be the softest as facial tissue, to blow my nose, as well. my reasoning being, if this stuff is gentle enough for my hemorrhoids, of course it’s going to be gentle enough for repeated use on my upper lip.

then, a friend turns me on to one of those new “with lotion” facial tissues (my bathroom tissue always has aloe in it) and wouldn’t you know it, my upper lip finds it to be softer than the toilet paper. but, when I try using it as toilet paper, my anus doesn’t find it to be less irritating than the toilet paper.

why do my butthole and my upper lip think that different things are softer? is it just chemistry?

    So it’s not sheer quantity of nerves but it’s also the different types? Cool.

    And the nose has a lower standard for “move across” and injury?

    I wanna see your TP tier list. I have a bidet at home, but I also have weird/random allergies that give me diarrhea so if I’m eating random stuff outside, and poop more than twice a day, I have real bad time.

    Thanks for the post. This is the kind of niche shit I love.
