Right! Hard toilet paper!
People of a certain age from Britain (and maybe elsewhere) will remember with horror having to use toilet paper that resembled tracing paper. It was hard and crinkly, not at all absorbent, and you could literally use it for tracing.
I'm curious how many people remember the trauma of using this appalling invention.

@bodhipaksa London, summer of 2002. My wife and I were so amused we brought some back home and put it in our scrapbook!

@bodhipaksa England and NZ; public toilets and school toilets. As a girl at the time, I can confirm it was totally unsuitable for any toiletary use.

@bodhipaksa in Great Yarmouth! I’d moved to Norfolk, UK from New Zealand and was horrified to discover this instrument of torture that was of no usd at all as toilet paper and only caused pain. Wasn’t it labelled as medicated? What on earth was the point of it?

@bodhipaksa Yes, I remember it well. I used to prefer the squares of newspaper on a hook if there was the luxury of a choice.
