Eurofurence 23 Fursuit Mummy Walk
VulpesRex:
For those of you wishing to make a "Mummy CosPlay" and wrap yourselves up, there is a far better alternative to toilet tissue. I would suggest a product known as "Engineer Tape".
Engineer Tape is made from fabric which is white in colour and formed in a strip about 5cm wide by 153m long (or 2 inches by 500 feet, English/US measure). Here are two links on the internet for purchase (common source, one in quantity, the other from Amazon (same origin, but broken into individual rolls)).

I would feel pretty sure that there is a reasonable fox-simile for US Army "Engineer's Tape", available from some Surveyor's or Engineering Supply store in Europe.
...But the stuff is practically made-to-order for wrapping mummies.
