What do you do with the toilet paper?...Yes more expensive ..I guess feels better..but after you use it what then?..........................................??????????????????????????????????????

We throw it out..it is a one use item........if you use it to clean the toilet bowl..after the use, I throw it out..usually down that same bowl..like I usually do with the other stuff in the bowl..(is the word bowl similar to the word bowel?)..........oops.............wait a minute..is that b word a dirty word?...well they might be dirty, but....is that a dirty word?.......does the b word, have a lot to do with toilet paper?.....

you tell me................................ .............oh...and for general purposes...
here is a link on bowel movements..everyone needs a link like this....

https://medlineplus.gov/bowelmovement.html

Is that link ok? or is it a sh**ty thing to post on a Sunday??....
eagerly awaiting an answer....
