What is the difference between 1-Ply and 2-Ply toilet paper?
1 Layer vs. 2 Layers
Simply put, 1 ply toilet paper is made of a single layer of paper, while 2 ply has two layers. Originally, all toilet paper was a one-ply sheet of paper rolled up on a cardboard core. In the 1950’s, a manufacturer created a method to roll and attach one-ply paper together to make a thicker “two-ply”. For years, 2-ply toilet tissue was always thicker and usually assumed to be better. However, thanks to today’s technological innovations and product advances, now TP can be made of only 1 layer of paper, yet may still be thicker and stronger than 2 layers.
