colored toilet paper

Hi does anyone know of a site that sells colored toilet paper 2 ply for embroidering on ? I was looking and WOW 2 rolls of 2ply colored toilet paper is $15 US dollars ... Really ... Im seriously thinking of borrowing $$ from inlaws to invest in some cases to resell if I can get cheap enough .... all colors too ... Anyone interested in this as I am .. i know its potty humor but someone has to be the bearer of the butt jokes why not me .. Just wondering who would be interested in this ? I know I am soo into making joke and gag gifts for family and friends .. People ask me for colored tp... but have not seen it since late 70's early 80's sold in USA... any suggestions Please ~~~~ Thanks Terri

I haven't heard of it either. I have, however, embroidered on toilet paper a few times. I watched a short video on pinnterest and did some for Christmas. I recently did one for my daughter's birthday. They can be nice on white.

I think the colored toilet paper went out in the 90's when people started becoming more environmentally conscious. The dyes were a potential hazard to water and wildlife.

I seem to remember the ban on color-printed toilet paper due to a connection with colorectal cancer, they thought. That was well before the '90's I believe, but time has a way of getting away from me! I imagine the environmental hazards reinforced getting rid of it.

I was gifted some with embroidery on it in the 90's - tho someone could have stocked up when they learned it was no longer going to be available. Time does get away from me too! I think we've established that it hasn't been available for a while for several reasons.

I remember back in the 60's, we banned colored toilet paper because it was believed to increase the cases of colorectal cancer.

What I do is use colored tulle to do the embroidery on, then wrap the toilet paper in it with a bow on top, OR use the wraps that are removable and reueable to do your embroidery on......
