When I was living in Sicily, the local wipe was like crepe paper. The

When my sister spent time in Monaco back a couple of decades she
brought back some TP that was like the slick, crinkly tissue paper
used to stuff gift bags. Strange stuff, you could see why you needed a
bidet, the TP (aka bog roll) would never remove all the Star Trek
enemies.

Definition of a teenager: God's punishment for enjoying sex.

Some years ago, a friend of my first wife's told me she never could
get used to the TP in British public restrooms, imprinted with
"Property of the Queen", with a consistency more like waxed paper than
anything else she could think of.

Sounds like she got the special stuff they put out for tourists. The
normal paper has different wording: "60 grit" (ouch!)
