bathroom tissue

Roll beside commode

Bathroom tissue is a euphemism for toilet paper—the soft, disposable paper used to clean oneself after using the toilet.

The term appears mainly in commercial and institutional contexts, where it sounds more dignified than the direct alternative: The office manager ordered more bathroom tissue for the restrooms.
