What’s up with toilet paper?

My #1 podcast, 99% Invisible, unrolls the mystery

https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/wipe-out/

audio & transcript.

tl;dr Folks who supply workplaces don't know how to get their product to the consumer market. Folks who wipe at work now need to wipe at home.

Plus: why wipe at all? the benefits of water? the SF sewer district manager opines about "flushable" wipes. (It's a lie -- they're as persistent as nuclear waste.)
