If you wonder why people are so concerned about having no TP... try to live without it. And I mean, without decent substitutes as well, like tissues or kitchen wipes. You may use newspapers, filling paper from Amazon parcels and such stuff. You will find - it really sucks as TP.
It always reminds me of the TP that was issues in the British army up until the late 80s. The closest comparison today is baking paper - the stuff you use to avoid that cookies stick to the tray when you bake them. Same as baking paper, nothing would stick to this army TP, and it was about as soft as glass shards. I have no idea why they adopted that stuff as the standard army TP. Perhaps it had other secret functions I didn't know about. Like that you can fold it in a certain way, and then use to cut a enemy's throat without making noise. Or wrap your rifle in it, if you have to keep it buried in the ground for some years. I don't know. It was specially made for the army, though. Which makes sense, since nobody would ever buy that stuff in a shop. Well, only once perhaps.
