Scott was the first company to make rolls of toilet paper. It had splinters.
Northern was first to advertise splinterless rolls of toilet paper.

Chinese have records of making and using toilet paper in the 1600's for their upper classes.

People didn't use tne medicated paper even though medical meant it had aloe. Catalogs and farmer's almanacs were free. The Farmer's Almanac even had a hole to hang it in the outhouse for reading and using.

Grandmother's house was in a smll town the indoor toilet was an addon added to the back of the house. She had a dirty TO trash can to keep the plumbing from clogging.

Romans had a bucket of water and a stick with a sea sponge on the end. When done put it back in the bucket. That's where "grabbing the ****ty end of the stick" came from.
