But the toilet paper will be gone in less than a week, and it’s not because either one of us have some…uh, problem. It’s because the toilet paper she bought is the soft, puffy kind where one roll lasts about one day. Maybe less, if you ate a big, rich, greasy dinner the night before or come down with some bug.

Believe you me, i was grateful to get the two-ply. And you’re so right! It DOES last longer – and i’ll bet it’s more biodegradable.
