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.

“Don’t squeeze the sandpaper”?

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.
