Episode notes

Are you paying extra for structural failure?

​In this episode, host Craig Chapman takes his analytical gaze to the bathroom cabinet to conduct a thorough, dry analysis of Toilet Paper Plies.

​We dissect the functional reality behind the layers. Why does 1-ply have an unacceptable tensile strength failure rate? Why is 2-ply the perfect engineered solution for load distribution?

​More importantly, we expose the lie of luxury: Craig calculates why high-ply paper (3- and 4-ply) often represents profound material redundancy. It’s not about added strength; it’s about appealing to your emotions while creating a product prone to inter-ply separation.

​Listen now to discover why the most efficient choice is rarely the most expensive one.

As always, if you have any thoughts or questions or would just like to say hello then feel free to drop us a message at...
