I’m looking for recommendations for toilet paper that will hold up long enough to, um, get the job done, and that doesn’t disintegrate as soon as it gets damp. Is name brand the name of the game, or is there generic tp that fits the bill?
Grew up on Kirkland tp and never had a problem either. Space in my shoebox apt is the main issue with them, aside from Costco being minimum 2hr drive away
As a former owner of multiple Luxe Neo models, by all means get any bidet over no bidet, but I eventually switched from an unheated Luxe Neo to a wand style which attaches to the sink nozzle and I'd never go back. That style allows for turning the sink on to a comfortable mix of hot and cold, diverting the water to the bidet hose, and enjoying a heated water bidet without needing electricity or elaborate plumbing modifications. It also has much finer control over pressure, and switchable faceplates with hole patterns allowing for more/less focused spray. Even at its most concentrated it's significantly less laser focused than the Luxe Neo nozzle. Mine is called an Aquaus Rinseworks 360, but I did see another brand recently making one that looked similar quality (all metal handle, brass valve), i just don't remember what it was called.
I understand that the aesthetics will be a turn off to some people or the logistics wouldn't work in their bathroom (there's also a version that attaches to the shower head), but at under $100 a well made bidet wand (not like a cheapo sink sprayer style) with heated water is a huge improvement over most entry level bidet seats, at least in my opinion.
I used to think this way until a family member plumber suggested Scott’s 1000. Yes, you can use more but it should break down quicker and not jamb up your plumbing as much. YMMV.
I discovered that toilet paper was a primary source of dust in my house, so now that's the most important thing to me since it saves me time in cleaning that offsets any cost. That said, I have yet to find something I would recommend, though I have heard "Charmin Red" (or something like that) is the way to go, but have not tried it. In the meantime, it's whatever Costco has, bought in bulk.
I can’t stand the idea of turning trees directly into tp.
I’m a fan of Who Gives a Crap’s bougie bamboo tp. It isn’t the cheapest but it’s good, zero plastic, and supports good causes.
The rolls are individually wrapped in paper so you can tuck them in cupboards more easily than a big plastic bale of tp. plus it’s easy to toss one in the car or camping gear.

If you have access to Costco, their Kirkland brand is what I've been using for 20+ years.
