Toilet Paper Recommendations

I installed a harness on my transom for number two (think sailboat racing harness's where you hang off the side). Strap into the harness, I get up on plane, and the pooper hangs off the swim platform and dips the offending body part into the prop wash for a clean fresh feeling. Not only does it save $$ on toilet paper, but amazingly food consumption on my boat has dropped 95%.
 
Great idea Turtle, sorta like pressure washing your butt and fast too...but man o man it's gonna be hard on the nuts.:wow:

who said anything about males on my boat?

And you can get an enema. Or prepping for that colonoscopy.
 
Wow, what an incomplete table. Where is the Scott's single-ply sandpaper? Your spreadsheet is unbalanced and needs to include more single-ply samples.

You are entirely correct. That is the preliminary analysis. The real spreadsheet includes several more manufacturers along with the individual specifications. We are running clinical trials on "wipeability" on Turtle's boat the week of November 5th, 2012 in the Long Island Sound for those interested in participating.

The evening meal prior to the clinical trials will be extra hot spicy tacos with habanero sauce and refried beans washed down with a liberal amount of prune juice.

Rick - perhaps listing the steps taken while using the head will give us more insight into this investigation. Please start with the pre-planning stage, then the planning stage, then execution and finally the review/satisfaction of the dooty done.
 
We are missing an obvious solution....

each brands ability to make it through the duck bills and into the holding tank.

And the pump, my friend. When I bought my boat, I found the pump to be jammed with colored fibers. It was from conventional toilet paper. The colored paper was packed tight in the parts of the pump. Almost like the the fibers separated and bound up and wouldn't desolve. I have a vacuflush which uses an electric pump but the pumps are used in non-vacuflush units less a seal. I only use marine/rv toilet paper. Have had the pump apart and never any paper packed in it.
 
My remedy is none!! There is a waste can next to the toilet for the used toilet paper with a plastic bag in it for ease of disposal when full. Nothing goes into the toilet but number one no number two that is what the toilets on the main land are for is number two.
This has saved alot of problems.
Easy to say for people that do day trips only. What if you stay on the hook for 3 to 5 days at a time? We poop while on the boat, flush it down with the paper (courtesy flush is always appreciated) and use Noflex Digestor every day we are on the boat. When pumping out we see no solids through the site tube. I had to replace the forward head hose all of the way to the vacuflush at the back end of the boat when I first bought the boat since it was clogged solid with paper that turned into a sold shell like material. After going through that crappy job, we are very careful but use it most of the time we are on the boat. Sea Land paper or the cheap stuff from WalMart is what we use. Paper without poop on it goes into a small trash receptacle in the head.
