Have just changed the roll - again!! - and I reckon we are getting through a roll a day.

There's only three of us!!

Is this excessive? Should I be worried?

And why does someone always leave one sheet and not change the roll thus presenting a problem for the next person who doesn't notice when they "sit down"??

We use three or four a week and there are three of us but we are out all day during the week.

BangingNoise · 13/11/2010 11:03

I think 4 will do us for a week. There are three of us. Mind you, we're all out all day, so it's only evenings, nights and weekends we use it at home.

HeyheyItsSaturday · 13/11/2010 11:03

1-2 between two of us.

ZZZenAgain · 13/11/2010 11:04

I don't know but we go through a LOT less when dh is away on business, so I think he is a bit manic with his usage...

Mowiol · 13/11/2010 11:04

Can you still buy that horrible Izal hard stuff?

I'm worried about the rainforest.

Only me, and I use between 1-2. I use lots, ex used to go mad at me for it Hmm

apple99 · 13/11/2010 11:06

Seems to be about 1 a day for the 3 of us.

BaroqueAroundTheClock · 13/11/2010 11:10

I'm not sure. DS2 uses the most toilet paper and has taken it upon himself to replace the roll i the holder when the old one finishes.

I think it's about 3 or 4 for 4 of us ........but I have boys who "shake and run" (for a wee - they do wipe for the other type) so would maybe be more if I had girls who actually wipe

badfairy · 13/11/2010 11:12

3-4 here too.

borderslass · 13/11/2010 11:12

about 3-4 there's 4 of us but it's mostly used by DS.

moogster1a · 13/11/2010 11:14

4 of us. 2 adults 2 young kids. about 4 rolls.

when gps stay 2 rolls a day.

never figured it out

PlentyOfPockets · 13/11/2010 11:18

About 5. That's for 2 adults and 2 almost adults. Two of us are female and so wipe after a wee.

I am astonished at the amount I have learnt about other people's toilet habits in the short time I've been on MN! Grin

mrspear · 13/11/2010 11:18

A roll of toilet paper a day, bloody hell!

Shall i take that is 3 adults who are very regular and who do not work?

Anyway one sahm, one working daddy and one non toilet trained DS - i reckon one roll a week. But i shall start counting once i change this roll and see if i am wrong.

As for one sheet - my DH is incapable of putting a new roll on. Just as well as the spares are underneath.

PlentyOfPockets · 13/11/2010 11:20

Don't forget, different brands have different amounts of paper on each roll. We use Sainsbury's recycled, if you're doing a spreadsheet.

ZZZenAgain · 13/11/2010 11:20

dh can replace the roll with a fresh one but he will always leave the cardboard that is inside the used up roll

throw it out, arghhh.....

BaroqueAroundTheClock · 13/11/2010 11:20

LOL MrsPear - I just used the toilet and noticed that I'd finished the roll and thought "hmm think I'll count this week and report back the exact number" Grin

BaroqueAroundTheClock · 13/11/2010 11:21

oh yes - brand here - Morrisons Value

Mowiol · 13/11/2010 11:21

No we all work!!

Blush I'm worried now!!

NoahAndTheWhale · 13/11/2010 11:23

Not sure. More than one roll a week for two adults and two children. I am SAHM and the children are one boy and one girl. Maybe two rolls a week?

Mowiol · 13/11/2010 11:23

Andrex - spreadsheet!! lol

2 a week here.

I remember as a child my Dad standing us all in a line in the bathroom (4 brothers and I) and speaking to us sternly telling us to use only 2 sheets per wipe and to even fold over and wipe again. As we were getting through so many a week and we were very strapped for cash at that time as my Dads business was struggling.

Even nowadays I remember that discussion and think about how much to use. Smile Funny really.

dotnet · 13/11/2010 11:33

Ha ha ha ha. You should call in an army sergeant - or is it a corporal - for advice. They actually TEACH new recruits how to use toilet paper (folding a sheet for a second go etc).
Or at any rate I was impressed to see that in 'Bad Lads' Army' the Corporal (I think it was)- did.
Maybe this idea should be extended to other careers, too? Civil Service recruitment days for instance could surely fit in a toilet training slot.Grin

I have a loo paper mountain in both loos. I have a fear of running out Grin
We use about 4 rolls a week, for the 4 of us. DH uses more than anyone else.
