I do a big shop at the beginning of the month. This includes what toilet paper is think we will need.
It's the 11th so about half way through the month.
I've been buying ever increasing amounts of toilet paper.
Last month 31st October I bought 2×24 rolls. We have 3 toilets. I downstairs. An ensuite and a bathroom. Neither me or dh go into the bathroom.

It is solely used by 2 teenagers dds.
They have 2 rolls out of 24 left!!
I have about 16
WTF are they doing with it?? Eating it??
Ffs
Ainbu to think 2 people can use 24 toilet rolls or less in 1 month?
Aibu they are teenagers and use more?

Heavens, we buy a pack of 9 every 6 weeks or so. 3.5 adults.

@Boxingshibes my eldest one is autistic and he uses a LOT! He's getting very good at unlocking the toilet now though....🤔 House rule....you block it you unblock it!

I use loads because I have heavy periods and a sensitive bladder

See im not going mad, are they drying in the stuff rather than towels? I'm at a loss.
Is it a girl thing?

I have two teenagers. When they are home (half term/summer holidays) the toilet roll consumption definitely increases!!
I buy a big box (48 rolls) of bamboo stuff. It usually lasts about 3 months.....

2 x 9 roll packs. Four adults.
