Clinton H. aside--(hey, CH...we are concerned, helpful folks here!)
...the quality of toilet paper HAS changed. Like paper gorcery bags, there used to be a significant amount of old growth timber with longer strands of cellulose used....now you pay top dollar for any strength in the product.
My solution, not having a bidét, is preliminary, cursory use of a 'moderate' quality paper, then one sheet of a TOP quality paper towel, folded twice and moistened. Kleenex "VIVA" is the best. (Bounty has ALSO reduced basic quality the last couple of years.) "Viva" even has now a roll with 2/3 size sheets.

It sounds expensive, but it works, and is very little more than quadruple use of cheap paper.
