Most people believe that there is only one type of toilet paper, but that is certainly not the case. Although they appear to be similar, the various paper products available wholesale toilet paper    in grocery stores, pharmacies, bulk shopping membership stores, and online on janitorial supply websites have certain things that differentiate them from each other, such as size, weight, softness, and absorption. Since there are many different varieties of paper available for home and commercial use, before purchasing you must first decide which type of paper is best suited to your needs-1-ply versus 2-ply, standard versus jumbo, or coreless versus regular. But before you can decide which type is best for your needs, you have to understand the differences in the various types of paper.

The quality of toilet tissue is often thought of by the number of plies or stacked sheets the restroom paper is made of. There is 1-ply, 2-ply, and higher. What is thought of as commercial quality restroom paper is often 1-ply and sometimes has a small amount of non-pulped, non-bleached/paper in it. On the other hand, 2-ply paper has 2 stacked sheets and is therefore thicker and somewhat textured to provide more softness, so it is thought of as the more luxurious or higher quality restroom paper. In addition to making it softer, the second ply makes it more durable than 1-ply. The higher ply toilet tissue, or premium toilet paper, often has lotion or wax and usually has 2 or more plies of very finely pulped paper in it. The 2-ply restroom paper is the most commonly used worldwide, but 1-ply is also available in most countries as a less expensive option.
