Egyptian Economy Toilet Paper

Ninex Economy Toilet PaperThey must buy an awful lot of toilet paper in Egypt, or there's something else I don't know about Egypt.

I was going through all the ProductScan reports that came in while I was in the hospital, and found this. You can see the toilet paper rolls through the plastic package. Notice how thin the rolls are!

Al Rawda Paper Products Company, the manufacturer, prints the word "Economy" on the package, and I guess it's with no surprise. Maybe the standard diet in Egypt presents people with more benefits than is otherwise known.

  • Muslims don't tend to use toilet paper the way you and I do. They use water to clean their arse, then use paper to dry.

  • Actually Toilet Rolls in Egypt are not only used for poo!
    Many Egyptians use Toilet Paper to blow their noses in!! The fabric is much stronger and can therefore withhold better with the strong blows and tremendous amounts of Mucus :)))
    Thus much much better performance than the 'Kleenex-like' products ;))

    Take it from an Egyptian!

  • Toilet paper is the best thing for blowing your nose the world around! I only buy kleenex for guests because I do not want them to think I am rude.

  • It is the economy!.....

    In the united States, the cans of soda are getting smaller, over the counter medicines have bigger containers and less pills, and the lsit goes on all over the world.
    Egyptian toilet papers are no exception. IOtf you look at the picture,.. The roll is around a central cardboard tube with a huge diameter. There is less paper and more " weel nothing but thin air". During my last trip to Egypt I noticed that big hollow cylinder. It is really different thatn the way it was a few years ago!!!.
