The world would be a better place if we swapped the sizes of paper towels & bathroom tissue.
i find that most times i need a paper towel i really only need about one quarter of its full size to wipe up a little counter dampness. Bathroom tissue would benefit from paper towel size by giving one, cough, full coverage with each sheet. As far as I know paper towels don't flush correctly. |

Never really thought about it, but ya know, MM00 - I think you may have unlocked a few of life's small mysteries. 1.) You are RIGHT about the size! I know I generally end up wasting maybe up to 1/2 of each paper towel, when I'm using it *properly*... 2.) When I'm using them *improperly* (and I do), ONE is always *just enough*, doncha know! And the finger never pokes through. But they indeed don't usually flush right, so - take it from me - save 'em up until it gets dark and then toss 'em over the fence into the neighbor's yard. Better than clogging the toilet. |

For some reason, my mother just hates those Select-a-Size paper towels; me on the other hand, I love them.
Makes for much less waste when I only need to wipe up a small spill.

We got focused on the paper towel issue, but for me the bigger issue is that when you need to wipe, a paper towel is wide enough to cover your whole hand in one sheet. Toilet paper requires bunching up tons of it to get your hand covered. This is why I want the wider paper towel sheets.
In fact to the opposite, Scott tissue just reduced the width of their toilet roll by about an inch in the last year. They can still claim that they have a thousand sheets or whatever, but they are much narrower, thus increasing the hand covering problem.
