Please can you tell me how much toilet paper it is normal to expect humans to use in a week.

Please can you also tell me how many people are living there so I can see how we compare?

How long till someone mentions wanking?

1 adult and 2 kids in this house. We generally go through a couple of rolls a week.

If my sister is visiting though we go through approx 2 rolls a day! No idea what she does with it all, my mother passed comment on it at Christmas too.

Steeley113 · 17/10/2017 20:46

2 adults and one primary school child here (my youngest is in nappies) and I think 3 a week on average? I have 3 toilets and seem to change each one each week at some point.

crispsahoy · 17/10/2017 20:48

We have 5 toilet users but 1 isn't here mon-fri and 1 comes & goes whenever. If everyone's in it's 1-1.5 a day!! Otherwise 1 every 2 days.

LittleRen · 17/10/2017 20:48

Wow some of you use so little - I am impressed! We use way too many and I am not sure how... we have almost gone through a 9 pack in less than a week and we have two adults and one child who uses the toilet, the toddler is too young. I think we must eat it.

LittleRen · 17/10/2017 20:49

Also the child toilet user is at school Blush

I'm the only female in our house too so the boys shake it off Grin my DH always poos at work too as he enjoys getting paid for it...

AllRightNowInFactItsAGas · 17/10/2017 20:49

It's not wanking though, don't care if it is but he was single for ages but now has had DBF for a time and nothing has changed, I 'think' it's something to do with his skin condition, which is fine if it's for that, but I just wanted to hear from you all to see what is a normal amount to get through first before I though anything at all.

Generally averages at one roll per person per week in our house.

Does DBF ever stay over?

JeanLouiseFinch · 17/10/2017 20:54

A nine pack lasts around 2 weeks. 5 of us although mostly not here daytime in the week.

AllRightNowInFactItsAGas · 17/10/2017 20:55

Jenala - Yes he does and nothing has changed at all

Me, 18 year old son and adult daughter. Go through 9 rolls in 2 weeks. Son is the main culprit.

ILoveDolly · 17/10/2017 21:00

We have five in the house, usually need a nine pack every fortnight, so about 4.5 a week. In thought my Children used a lot, the toilets are often full but tbf they are at school

bumblingbovine49 · 17/10/2017 21:00

We buy a 9 roll pack every 2 weeks (two adults and one 12 year old) but we have a few spare at all times so we probably use 3-4 rolls a week maximum

AllRightNowInFactItsAGas · 17/10/2017 21:06

Thank you all for this info! I can now deduce that I am right, we are excessively using the bogroll!

Not entirely sure what I intend to do with said info but thank you for it.

Justabadwife · 17/10/2017 21:09

Ooh just buy a 4 pack a week @allrightnowinfactitsagas and watch the family's face as it slowly runs out, nothing worse than being mid poo and realising there is no toilet roll. 😂😂 (obvs keep some hidden for yourself)

JennyOnAPlate · 17/10/2017 21:10

Four of us get through around 6 rolls I recon.

AllRightNowInFactItsAGas · 17/10/2017 21:15

Justa you're my kinda girl Grin

Mischa123 · 17/10/2017 21:16

We use loads. 9 a week approx. There are 5 of us and DP works at home and uses bloody loads. I’d prefer that to poo crumbs though!

NextIndia · 17/10/2017 21:17

At least 14. Family of 7. Not the cheap stuff with hardly any on a roll either.

londonrach · 17/10/2017 21:18

I replace the roll i think about once a week (2 toilets) so thats 2 a week if that (2 adults snd baby but one or two days i have 2 other Adults in the house). I must track it more
