As long as Kimberly-Clark’s new automatic toilet paper dispenser keeps the stuff from shredding or tearing lengthwise, I will gladly embrace this new technology.
Even if it does destroy the environment.
Well… actually, because of that reason…

As long as it doesn’t limit you to one order.
even if it limits you to 1 order, it still won’t be as horrible and butt-splashing as the auto-flush toilets. I HATE those things! They always flush before you’re ready, then fail to flush when you’re done! but I’m sure all you’d have to do if there’s a limit on dispensing is wait on the pot, develop hemerrhoids, and then finally qualify for a second shot at 5 sheets.
How are you supposed to put the paper into the toilet and flush to make this roll spin around really fast?
The evolution of science never ceases to amaze me! In the building where I work the toilet paper is made of 97% glass and 3% absorbent material. It is only three molecules thick! A roll of this mostly nonabsorbent fabric is on a roll about two feet in diameter and the fabric will break, due to the lack of molecular adhesion because only three molecules thick. To be functional, this material must be collected in sections 97% longer in order to begin to be useful. Wiping becomes a task that takes longer than the initial reason for being there. How is that for American ingenuity? I firmly believe that any such product that is designed, be tested thoroughly. The best way to test it is to require that the engineers that designed it take the prototype home. Have their families try it for ninety days. If it passes the family test, it may be suitable for the rest of us. If not, flush it!
Have they had women test this out yet? It’s great that some guy thinks this is revolutionary, but they stand up to pee.
I want to hear from a woman who has used this product. (Preferrably not Sheryl Crowe.)
Sometimes, five squares just isn’t enough . . .
if it’s single-ply super thin unquilted non-absorbent paper like they have in most public restrooms and institutional facilities, 5 sheets is never enough – 5 sheets of that crap is equivalent to 1/2 sheet of nice double-ply soft, quilted, ABSORBENT paper!
Of course Europeans don’t use as much toilet paper. Most of the paper over there (at least in Germany) is 3 and 4 ply. I hate the way this article makes is sound like Americans just come up with ways to waste toilet paper. Like we sit in there making little hats with it or something.
Didn’t click through — refuse to give the HuffPo traffic — but I’m curious, is this the same as the thing I saw on Engadget a few months ago? They made an automatic paper-winder (it folds/rolls a few sheets into a wipe-ready wad), but that was targeted at the handicapped who have a hard time coordinating themselves to prep the paper. Is this different?
