Rough and abrasive may not be the worst kind of TP. I worked for years where a hand-lettered sign above the TP roll sarcastically but accurately stated ‘Waxed paper go wrap it in’.
I still remember the shock of discovering “sandpaper” toilet paper the first time I went to Ireland in the late 50’s. Also having to “spend a penny” for the pay toilets in the hotel.
Paper (any kind) is tremendously abrasive. Corrugated box plants have to resharpen “knives”, actually 2 steel discs rotating together, about every 2 weeks. That said, do not use paper towels to clean your eyeglasses, especially with plastic lenses.

I took some home from the plant I used to work in. It did a really good job of finish sanding on my model projects.

That is getting to the nitty-gritty. Or at least the gritty.

Never ask why someone wants toilet paper.

My husband swears they used the TP at our high school for fine sanding.

Toilet paper comes in two grades: John Wayne, which we’ve already heard about; Bill Clinton – Its smooth and slick, nothing sticks to it.
