Before that, Americans were known to use the absorbent pages from the Sears Catalog and the Farmers' Almanac, which started circulating in 1818. The Almanac eventually added a hole in the corner of each edition, to make it easier for patrons to tear, read, and wipe, hopefully in that order.
And it wasn’t until 1935 that any manufacturer in the country was able to promise “splinter-free toilet paper”. The country has been pooping pain-free for less than a hundred years, people. Let that sink in.
