How much toilet roll do you use?

Family of 3 here. We probably go through three 9 packs per fortnight, so 4.5 rolls per week per person.

I'm shocked at how little it seems some other people on here can use - I really don't think we're using more than is needed so I don't know how people manage to use so little.

WGAC user here, and I use the bamboo rolls. The ordinary ones disintegrated mid-wipe leaving little balls of loo roll where I'd wiped.

Our Who gives a Crap rolls last so long because me and DH don't use much loo roll.

On both only poo once a day and I only wee a couple of times a day. I know women that wee endless times a day so, obviously, they use more

When I was a student it used to be one roll per person week, but that was when we were out a good bit daytimes and evenings. How much a family of 4 will use when staying over with you may be very different to how much the same family will use at home in a normal week, when out at school and work most days.

Presumably they lined up the loo rolls so they could go in the recycling.

Also, they have become a bit sneaky here (not in UK) with loo roll price increasing so drastically, some manufactures are making 200 sheet rolls, as well as the 350 sheet normal ones. Not sure if that is there same there, but 150 sheets makes quite a difference.

Can someone explain to me about these What the Crap rolls... obviously we don't get them, but what is different about them that they last so much longer?

I'm just curious, if you know this, why would you bring a toilet roll with you rather than address your behaviour? Is it a type of OCD?

Did you do all the cooking? 😂

I went away recently and one of the nights my 20 yo dd stayed over in my room using that bathroom with me.

The next morning I went to use the loo and the roll was finished! In a day! Then I forgot how much less loo roll I buy now that she has moved out, she does have some stomach issues though. And also, don't forget about the 'forever wipe' 😀 its a true problem for some folk.

A roll a day*

I use a lot of toilet roll. I was in hospital for 2 weeks in June and I was getting through a toll a day but the antibiotics I was on were making me poo about 10 times a day. I got my husband to bring in our own. Hospital stuff is awful and I felt guilty for using so much!

We do. I thought the regular was fine but my DH apparently has a fussy butt…

I’m slightly astonished by all these people saying it lasts for 6 months, 8, 9 months. We’re a family of 4 and 48 rolls lasts 16 weeks. That’s 3 a week which sounds totally normal to me. It’d be great if we could make it last longer but we definitely can’t!

Agreed. Jeez, it’s embarrassing enough having a shit at someone else’s house without them keeping notes on how much bog roll you use.

When I mean budgeted, I don’t mean she controlled what they used, but that’s how much she purchased. Ie two guests would need two extra rolls.

A family of three and use approximately four rolls a week.

A relative always ‘budgeted’ when having guests that it would be one roll per person per week.

I would be annoyed also.

I sometimes travel with my one or two loo rolls in case people give me the wrong things to eat.

So I guess with people like the OP we should turn up with our own pack of 9 and let them get a glimpse of it.

I think thats about right really .From Thursday to Monday is 4 nights and 5 days.I would have left a pack really .We are a family of 5 and go through quite a lot (never counted how much though!)

Do they secretly identify as cats?

Quick question for the 'who gives a crap' users. - we tried the normal ones and nobody liked it as it's rather thin. Do you buy the more expensive one (bamboo?)?

Many reasons that a family might use more than usual:

• Periods
• IBS/IBD or similar
• "Toddler diarrhea" i.e. unexplained diarrhea in otherwise healthy young kids, can last beyond toddler years, certainly one of my kids has way messier poo than the other, and needs a lot more loo roll
• Dyspraxia/issues with motor skills that mean one wipe isn't really effective and they need to wipe many times
• Hayfever or other allergies and using loo roll to blow their nose
• Ditto for having a cold

Plus, maybe they just like using a lot. I like using a decent amount to wipe comfortably and not a stingy amount. Loo roll is a relatively cheap commodity if you buy the cheap stuff.

This comes up a lot on MN and it's always surprising how different people are- some people getting through practically a roll per person every day and others having a roll between four to last a week. Some of this is explained by medical issues or having small children but a lot is just down to the mystery of what other people do behind the loo door. I know someone who lines the whole loo with paper before doing anything- God knows how much she must get through.

Me and DH buy the Who give a Crap loo rolls. A pack of 48 lasts us 9 months

One roll a week each.

I’d say about 5 rolls a roll a day

Peak mumsnet!!

Good thing you didn’t include a photo OP or the PP would have told you where you could tidy it.

Anyway, as another pp says, it’s not that much over average. Maybe they poo more regularly than you guys.

1 roll a week, live alone.
