Most boring thread ever-why do we get through so much bog roll?

[EllebellyBeeblebrox]

We went on holiday for a week. I took two loo rolls and there were two provided in the cottage. By the end of the week we had run out. Surely 4 in a week is totally ridiculous? What happens to it? What are my family doing with it?! For full disclosure I do buy cheap paper, but I would be bankrupt within a month getting through that much Andrex. I have two dcs of 6 and 10, who both have a poo once a day. I am constipated as hell at 36weeks pregnant and dh is a regular once a day man. Do I need to start rationing it?!

DD can use a whole roll in a day. It's her superpower

Squash the roll so it becomes oval shaped rather than round. It helps to stop you tearing too much off. Also, do you have a Home Bargain or a Savers nearby? Try the Nicky paper, it's really cheap and great quality. £2.29 for 9 rolls. Ocado charge £3.99 for the very same pack.

6 for a poo?! You sound like a war baby OP. Maybe I am just profligate 😂

Oh no I'm a stinge! my poor family, I'll stop rationing it then

57 sheets a day seems ridiculous!

I have no idea what DH is doing with the toilet roll but he gets through about one a day.

How can we stop this?! Rationing

Look people. I commented on this thread in good faith with rock solid facts. I got them straight out of the toilet paper encyclopedia backed up by toiletpaperhistory.net which I'm sure you'll all agree are reliable sources.

I cannot help it if you all are toilet paper weirdos. The facts are the facts.

57 sheets on average.

You cannot argue with science.

What'll really blow your minds is that if 57 sheets is the average and some of you use much less then...

some people must be using much MORE!!

DD had a birthday bbq, in 4 hours 12 22-year olds used two full toilet rolls and blocked the drains.

I am astonished. And clearly mean with it too! The average toilet trip uses 8.6 sheets apparently...

I will start squashing it into an oval though that is an excellent suggestion

Wow, we obviously use well below average. I had a box of 36 rolls delivered from Who gives a crap in February. We have at least a 1/3 left and there are four of us

Anyone else straight off to google 'who gives a crap'?

One roll a week between 4 of you? Wow, you must shit at work a lot.

Keep the toilet roll on you and make them ask for it every time they want to go. Then hand over four squares only.

go back to using squares of newspaper

I buy Regina chamomile toilet rolls - really soft and thick. 2 for a wee and 3 for a poo is ample. I live on my own and 1 roll can last me nearly a fortnight if I don't have any visitors - had 5 female visitors the other week and half a toilet roll went in an afternoon!

These toilet rolls are often on special offer at Wilkos so I then stock up!

You sound like my DH op.
Always banging on about the bog roll 🙄
Would you rather we had skid marks?!?! 🤷🏼‍♀️

6 SHEETS for a POO????

Try the :”squash the roll a bit” method,, if the roll spins off the holder too quick, people use it, no one spends the time winding it back on, do they ?

My husband is away currently and I'm getting through soooo much less toilet roll! I worry he eats it as well!!

I use a roll a day on just me! I have tried to cut down, but I just can't.

We use about one roll per day for our family of four. I buy cheapish stuff (but not the really cheap, tiny rolls) and it's fine. Currently have 72 rolls (eight 9-packs) stashed in the garage in case of a no deal Brexit!

Family of 5. I can’t believe you only use 4 rolls a week! We get through about 1/2 rolls a day-good quality stuff too. We were told to ration loo roll at primary school & I took it so seriously-scarred me for life!

I use loads. Don't want it getting on my hands...

You need Izal medicated loo roll.
Now that was an arse wipe to be reckoned with.
One box of 50 leaves would last a family of four a lifetime.
Mainly due to it smearing shite everywhere while scratching your arse to ribbons.
