Following on from the toilet roll threads on here today , I googled what is a normal amount of loo rolls a family of four use a week.
It says between 7 and 10 per week , AIBU ?

OK there is only 2 of us but we are 1 a week (and i pee a lot). Don't know how a family even goes through 7 to 10

Op you can get toilet seat liners. There are flushable ones too.

At least one a day (3 person household ) but that’s mainlY because my son lines the seat every time he uses it

Oh that's worrying. I hope he's getting the appropriate support and help.

It would surely depend on the ratio of male to female household members? Women and girls use a lot more toilet paper than men and boys.

Are you being U to what? Think that's a lot? Not much? You've given no indication what you think.

That sounds a lot. There are only three of us (including me who works from home), but we probably use about one roll every 2-3 days.
