What happened to the idea of removing the cardboard cores from regular toilet paper and squashing it down to fit your pack?

I have seen those toilet papers to go, and they are so expensive per sheet, that it might be a better idea to just do it the nautral way in the woods (Assuming your knees still let you squat that far.), and when going home put plastic on the car seat, and wash your clothes when you get home.

One of the things we all (Those of us that are "NORMAL?".) want to avoid is "chocolate fingers" when cleaning up in the woods, so we tend to use extra paper to avoid that dreaded "finger breakthrough". One way to avoid this is to use the least toilet tissue possible with some grass or green leaf padding between the fingers and the paper to avoid "breakthrough". There is another way which is initially more expensive but more convenient called a "Bottom Buddy" which grips the paper in a rounded 3 "finger" grip and releases the paper with a button on its handle. It is made out of plastic and is sold mainly to the infirm, caregivers, and the physically limited with the cheapest price on the web being $34.99 so far. You will use less toilet tissue, its design is gentle on the behind, and if "breakthrough" does occur, you just wipe it off with toilet paper, leaves, or grass.

Does anyone know if the old toilet paper that felt like fine sandpaper is still available? It may not have been soft, but "breakthrough" was never a problem, and a roll went a long way.
