Yeah, but fart once, and everyone is out of the pool.
Uhh, Don.
That may have been a little more than a fart

I read Peggie Hall's advice years ago and have been using single ply Scotts brand toilet paper without issue for ten years or so.
I've heard of people bagging used toilet paper, I even have a friend who used to do it. That's pretty gross and I wouldn't do it myself or ask anyone else to do it.
I do keep small plastic baggies and paper bags for female guests who might be using products that can't be flushed. Put it in the plastic baggie, zip it shut, then put the plastic baggie in the paper bag and close it with a rubber band, then put it in the trash.
At my age, I seldom have guests with that problem and when I do, my wife gives them instructions.

I sold that stuff for 25 yrs..it does dissolve much better and the cheap single ply stuff will not...it is like newsprint and will eventually give u grief. I suppose I will try the scotts brand mentioned above but the head is definitely an area I don't want to do a rebuild in so I am a little nervous
For young grand kids - Below age 10 - I tell em to use as little marine TP as possible and to NOT flush! Aboard boat, for them (and them only! lol) I am Pop Art - Grand Dad "The Great Flusher" and will tend to the toilet after they have completed - just tell me! 
For everyone else - Use little TP as possible and flush between swipes if necessary. In other words... "Take care of your own shite"... And, for God sake don't plug the toilet!

Any Britis here old enough to remember Bronco tp? Rough on one side, shiny on the other and seemingly non-absorbent, it was markedly similar to the wax paper used for cooking. I hate to think what a mess that stuff would make in a marine toilet. FWIW: A very similar tp was found in British government bathrooms. It had a little printed rectangle on the corner - reportedly so that each sheet could be ticked after use!

Reminds me of a very old and non PC joke about John Wayne TP.
You referring to 60 Grit ?

Well, in the too much information mode: There are some Spanish ladies I've met who feed their kids a teaspoon of peppermint oil on Saturday night. That way in church on Sunday the gas will smell minty fresh.
I wonder if that works with Peppermint Schnapps? I just made a batch so will let you know in six months. If you're curious that is... and around this crowd that may just be a given.
