Ask PoopReport: Hunting White Cloud

Posted 10.06.2006 by Dave (11689)
Dear PoopReport,

I am a senior lady and was advised by a plumber to buy White Cloud because it is best for septic tank. I have been buying it at a Wal-Mart that's about a sixty mile round trip from Riddle, Oregon. The nearest Wal-Mart is at Roseburg, Oregon, so far away. I am crippled with arthritis, in my 70's, and would like to know:

  • Who manufactures White Cloud?
  • Do you have a phone number for them?
  • Can I have large quantity shipped to me?

Any info will be appreciated.

It is the most comfortable and economical as well as best for my septic. I can't say enough good about it.

Dave are you so out of material that you are posting stuff that belongs in the colostomy bag?

If this person has the time, knowledge and energy to write this to you, she surely can search the Internet to get this info.

It's been a lame week on the PoopReport Front Page.

doniker (1536) -- 10.06.2006

I did a google search of "White Cloud Toilet Tissue" and this was the number one search...whats going on here?

Dave (11689) -- 10.06.2006

No, not out of material. I had an all-day meeting beginning at nine AM, so I had to get something up quick.

But beyond that: there's a lot of talk in theoretical circles about the intelligence of the crowd. That a bunch of people, working together, are far smarter than any one individual could ever be. So I want to see if that was the case with us.

DungDaddy (1386) -- 10.06.2006

Doniker, this is a site about poop. Are you going to whinge about THIS? Gramma can't wipe and you want some entertainment!? Nobody loves you more than I do, but you've taken your butthole spiel to a new low.

Double Flush (603) -- 10.06.2006

Maybe we should send the old lady a bidet attachment for her toilet.

I'm so good at clogging up toilets, I can make mine back up when there's nothing in it.

GottaGoGirl (2616) -- 10.06.2006

"...Can I have large quantity shipped to me?..."

This line is priceless. Septic tank, little old lady, LOTS of toilet paper being shipped to the house... Just hysterical.

And, as it happens, the bad news is that most septic tank manufacturers recommend that you NOT put ANY paper down there. If you MUST, you're supposed to use TP that DOESN'T dissolve too easily, so it will settle on the bottom and not create swirling TP sludge.

Coffee, anyone?

Dave (11689) -- 10.06.2006

Are you saying she can use any toilet paper she wants as long as she doesn't throw it in the toilet? We've had discussions in the past about this -- about places where they ask you to throw the TP into a little trash can at the side of the toilet.

DungDaddy (1386) -- 10.06.2006

Dave, I am a softie for old ladies. Tell you what: send me gramma's address and I'll ship her a case of White Cloud at my expense.

daphne (3696) -- 10.06.2006

I am right on DungDaddy's coattails about having a soft spot for old people. My grammas are super cool, and I wouldn't trade knowing them for the world.

I wonder if Walmart.com ships groceries. It seems that Walmart.com has a shopping cart and tracking order link, so maybe she could order it there and have it delivered to her house.

Sounds like DungDaddy actually may have a fetish for little old ladies.

For the record I remain a "softie" for old ladies.

SamDamnit (1192) -- 10.06.2006

Safeway ships groceries. I don't know if they have that brand though.

"Mybrands" seems cool. They may not have what you want, but they will get it. This is what it says on their site.

"What if we don’t carry your favorite product right now? Don’t despair! Fill out a request on our Wish List. Although we may not be able to get the product for you right away, we use the wish list to help us decide which product manufacturers to contact."

Here is the link.

P.P.S. I am sorry for saying "dick", gramma.

P.P. P. S. I am also sorry for saying "damnit".

My fetishes aside, My Mom is 81 years old and I know how something seemingly simple can turn into an almost insurmountable problem for an oldster. If Dave forwards the address, Gramma's wrinkled bum will be clean for one more year.

Bunga Din (1239) -- 10.06.2006

White Cloud bathroom tisuue is a brand name that is exclusively Wal Marts (they bought the company back in the early 90's and kept the name because they didn't want anyone wiping their ass with Wal Mart paper, they're severely anal about certain things, besides banning books and music).

I think if one was to look critically at this question we'd find that this whole thing is nothing but a ruse perpetrated by the stooges of WalMart to justify encroaching into an area that is free of their crappy business practices.

Sorry gramma (or should I say Alice Walton) you haven't fooled this reporter! If you want something soft to wipe your ass on I suggest you get one of the lackeys who acts as your bagman to the Whitehouse to show up sporting some of those well worn $1.00 your company is so adept at collecting.

runninggrrl2 (170) -- 10.06.2006

I've never had a house with septic, but when I was in Central America, most restrooms prohibited flushing the TP. They all had garbage cans next to the toilets for the TP. Considering you couldn't even GET TP at a public restroom unless you bought it from the little old lady standing outside the door. This is why Charmin ToGo packs were indispensible down there :)

In reference to my request for info on White Cloud toilet tissue, you apparently need to know that I already did a Google search for this product. That is how I found this website, which apparently is the only site that even gives other peoples comments on this product. Walmart does not ship this product for your info. Since you brought up the subject of having groceries delivered, there are companies that do deliver groceries; but not in my country area. You can learn this by searching the web yourself. I am not near a big city. I was very impressed with info from some of those who had favored this same product on this website. That is why I wrote you. You probably prefer to throw insults around rather than carry on intelligent conversation. Sorry, this site is apparently for the sportier type. I really don't see how much of the printed comments are even preferable to my questions...just so many insults. So please don't feel you have the right to insult Dave for printing my sensible questions when your degrading comments are printed. I was hoping I could ask a sane, simple, intelligent question about a product I approve of and prefer. Hopefully someone has some knowledge to answer intelligently. Thanks to the person who offered a years supply. I wonder now if it would be safe to give my mailing address at this site in order to receive this generous gift. Somehow I wonder if this offer, too, could be just another joke. Obviously no intelligent response can be expected from these "people". I don't prefer to waste my time badgering others. If someone can discuss this subject intelligently and directly, without throwing in "bullshit", I could appreciate such a discussion. Bless you to see clearly now, without just assuming you know so much about this dear, precious lady. Certainly you also have favorite products. I also happen to love the way I am treated at Walmart. Whenever someone mistreats me, I usually set them straight in a straight forward but pleasant way. No need to stoop to a degrading low, especially when you don't know that person. Just don't assume the worst. Be joyful and enjoy your day and each routine you follow that is beneficial to your health and life.

daphne (3696) -- 10.07.2006

Ah seniorladydude, I hated that had to leave that comment! To think we insulted you or ticked you off genuinely makes me feel bad.

If anyone on this website left you feeling less than informed, I can only say that we have all types here, and sometimes I'm the one who's a wiseass when people ask questions.

But to have a real person who asked a decent question feel let down does upset me. If we seem "sporty", understand we are here most every day, and we deal with so many people who are obviously of more of a jocular nature than you that we just do what we do alot, and that's often joke.

This is the intellectual appreciation of poop humor, after all. It's good to come here with some tongue and cheek, because we use alot of it.

Maybe someone else will find your answer. I will probably remain in the peanut gallery with my affection for seniors intact and a lesson learned that we forget who's on the other end of the email sometimes.

I wonder if calling the company would help. Hey, here's a thought....do you happen have any relatives who are military? I'm a military spouse, and I know if we press at a local comissary, they will order a product special. Maybe you should find out if any relatives or neighbors have military ties who could go that route.

I did it with dog food in 2001, and it worked so well the comissary began to carry that food all the time!

I'm sorry I didn't think of it sooner.

PS My gramma is one of my best friends, and this person may be someone's gramma. For God's sake, let's be nice. I don't do gramma bashing. Ever. Even if she wears fur. It's just not a line I cross if I can help it.

That is all.

I'm confused, if the lady shops (although infrequently since it's far away) at the Walmart.... why the need to ship? Buy in bulk when you're there!

Yep! That's EXACTLY what I'm saying. Little hinge-lidded can with a baggie inside. Tie it up and toss it in the trash.

What is this 'whinge' that british people speak of? You do mean whine right?

GottaGoGirl (2616) -- 10.09.2006

Actually, I think "whinge" came first, and we Americans bastardized it into "whine". Sum won prolly fergat da "g" and it stuck.

DungDaddy (1386) -- 10.09.2006

"Whinge" is in the Dictionary of the American Language. DungDaddy is nowhere near British.

GottaGoGirl (2616) -- 10.09.2006

Etymology of "Whinge": Whine--O.E. hwinan "to whiz or whistle through the air" (only of arrows), also hwinsian "to whine" (of dogs), ultimately of imitative origin (cf. O.N. hvina "to whiz," Ger. wiehern "to neigh"). Meaning "to complain in a feeble way" is first recorded 1530. The noun is from 1633. The northern form of O.E. hwinsian survives in dial. Whinge: "to complain peevishly."

Either word is correct in either American English or the Queen's English.

Fart Poopie (1257) -- 10.09.2006

I hate to break it to you, Grammy. As White Cloud is a Wal-Mart only brand, and they do not deliver it, you will have to purchase it in bulk next time you visit the store. I would suggest Sam's Club since they do deliver, but I looked online and they don't carry White Cloud for some reason... at least they don't here. You might try the Sam's Club nearest you.

Best of luck.

SamDamnit (1192) -- 10.09.2006

Walmart and Sams are both part of the same evil cabal that destroys small business and exploits it's employees (including the aged). I suggest gramma find a comparable product at Costco or Target.

While I know WalMart is evil, I still like it.

I can't help myself.

I am filled with shame and self-loathing.

But I still shop there.

I apologize.

drisom (3) -- 10.10.2006

As I said before, Walmart is my favorite store and White Cloud is my favorite brand of tissue. Walmart does not ship this product and they bought the rights to this product so it can't be purchased anywhere else.

Yes, I have bought in quantity when I go to Walmart (60 mile round trip) maybe 6 times a year. I live way out in the country. The nearest town has a population of about 1,500. I do purchase products online or from TV commercials and have them shipped directly to me. That saves a lot of hassle since I am crippled with arthritis. I am home and bedridden most of the time; it is difficult and painful for me to socialize. My other medical condition causes me to tire easily, so rest is my relief. My bed gives me much pain relief as it is adjustable (a gift from my son). Google search brought me to your website where I thought I could ask intelligent questions and possibly find some answers. I believe Scott manufactures White Cloud. That info was from an old comment I found on your website dated 2003 or 2004. Anyway, you have a special, sensible, understanding person with a pleasant sense of humor who responded to me in a caring way - That is DungDaddy - What a difference from some of those other careless comments! Hey, there are different kinds of comedy and humor....And there are appropriate times when that is called for; but when someone asks for specific info, that is a time when others can be sincere and helpful. I do enjoy clean humor...That is why I use White Cloud!

drisom (3) -- 10.11.2006

White Cloud toilet tissue is the softest and best is so many ways! I am a great grandma with terrific great grandchildren. But I live a long way from city life. Jobs have taken the children quite far from where I live. This is where they grew up and my few acres gives me the pleasure of being surrounded by nature, which I much prefer over city life. So I am thankful for online shopping and for U.P.S. shipping as well as Federal Express and others. They bring some products to my door.

After so many years of using so many brands of toilet tissue, just about every brand available to me, there is no substitute for White Cloud. How wonderful that people can differ in their preferences! What I prefer and choose above all others may not be what you like; but then what you like may not be what I would want. As long as we have a choice, we can choose our favorite. So, when you choose your favorite to put in a bag and can beside your toilet, please let it be your favorite brand. White Cloud is my favorite brand after all my years of trying others. This is in answer to the suggestion here online at poopreport that I use a different brand and drop it in a bag and can beside my toilet. Not only is White Cloud my favorite for many reasons but it also is highly recommended as the best to use in septic systems, which is just a plus for me.

Fart Poopie (1257) -- 10.11.2006

Greatgrandma Drisom, we've looked, and couldn't find anything other than what you've been told. Since Walmart bought out White Cloud and Walmart refuses to ship it to you, the only way you can get it is to buy it at the store. To minimize the number of trips you need to make, buy as much as you can fit in your vehicle when you go.
Sorry we couldn't be much help.

"...there's a lot of talk in theoretical circles about the intelligence of the crowd. That a bunch of people, working together, are far smarter than any one individual could ever be. So I want to see if that was the case with us" Hell no, at least not with me around. I bring the group IQ down at least 55 points just by posting once.

drisom (3) -- 10.12.2006

Just to remind you again, Walmart doesn't "refuse to ship" anything to me. Walmart has an online store where you can purchase any product available there and have it shipped to anyone. Unfortunately, White Cloud isn't available online. Just so you know.

As I said before, I only make 6 trips to the city per year where White Cloud is sold at Walmart. Therefore, I inquired at this website after my Google search listed this site for White Cloud. I've already explained why it's much more convenient for me to have products shipped to me at my home far out in the country. Thank you for responding as best you could. I can see that most who responded probably really didn't read what I wrote or maybe didn't comprehend; that's okay. I only asked a few questions originally and that is all I needed to know. I already had these other answers. So if you don't know those answers either, that is understandable. Even I can reason and come up with simple resolutions. DungDaddy has been most helpful.

Poor old lady!I wish I could deliver it myself to her!She deserves a fresh septic system..

Flushie (not verified) -- 03.08.2008

Septic Tank-Friendly White Cloud died forever in 2004. "Charmin Ultra" changed to "Charmin Plaster Clumps in your Crack" when it was "improved" aroudn that time. Before that Charmin Ultra WAS White Cloud, they renamed it in the 90's. Now Wal*Mart has their own completely different TP branded as "White Cloud" because they bought the name, but it's not what you want.
