How many loo rolls do you get through a week

Am I being unreasonable asking the above question.

I've just switched to a more expensive brand than my usual brand but it is more eco friendly. While working out if it is financially viable I was wondering how much loo roll everyone else goes through ?

How many are in your household? I'm not entirely sure how much we get through

TheDuchessOfBeddington · 23/04/2021 00:54

2 adults. 4-5 rolls per week.

Hdiebfhs · 23/04/2021 01:00

2 adults here with another adult staying 3/4 nights a week.

With the old loo roll (bulk buying very soft stuff from Groupon and the likes) we were going through a roll a day !

Two a day

Wingedharpy · 23/04/2021 01:12

A lot less than we used to since the first lockdown.

Hdiebfhs · 23/04/2021 01:49

@Dita73 2 a day ? How many of there are you ?

What?! Astounded by the amount of loo roll usage on this thread lol. 1 roll lasts well over week in our house - 2 adults and a toddler.

What IS going on??? Lol 😂

Usernameisgone · 23/04/2021 02:16

2 adults on average 1 a week

NiceGerbil · 23/04/2021 02:38

I have found that the amount differs wildly.

We used to get an own brand that went on forever.

Couldn't find it got andrex. Fuck me. went in a flash.

So try some others.

Surely it depends on how many people are in the house and how much they are home too. I dread to think what we go through but teen dss is the culprit. If he is at school we go through a hell of a lot less. I swear he uses a roll at a time and he goes the toilet a lot.

We have an electronic bidet - so we use no loo rolls.

PandemicAtTheDisco · 23/04/2021 04:25

Electronic bidet sounds great.

EmmaGrundyForPM · 23/04/2021 04:42

We get a bulk order of 48 rolls from "Who Gives a Crap" every 4 months. There are 3 adults here all wfh.

Whanganui · 23/04/2021 05:58

I can use 1 a day on my own, but I do tend to weeee an awful lot.

I’m sure some people drip dry & don’t wipe their arses properly.

Pyewackect · 23/04/2021 06:02

Electronic bidet : soundslike a 70's Punk Band.

Dollywilde · 23/04/2021 06:07

I remember working out how much we were using this time last year when there was a shortage!

We get through a roll every 3 - 4 days. 2 adults.

SeaTurtles92 · 23/04/2021 06:09

2 adults and a toddler.

Maybe 2 a week. Depends if I'm on my period I'll use more.

SimonJT · 23/04/2021 06:17

One at most, we have a shattaf, so toilet roll is only really used by guests or for nose blowing.

nancywhitehead · 23/04/2021 06:28

I dunno, a couple a week maybe. It does seem to vary massively between different people.

Meruem · 23/04/2021 07:11

3 adults here and I get a 9pack once a fortnight, but I have IBS so use more than the average person!

Morgan12 · 23/04/2021 07:14

1 a day. 2 adults and 2 kids. It really annoys me.

Mummadeze · 23/04/2021 07:16

I think we use 13-14 rolls a week. I need a lot because because of the way my bowels work. My DP and DD blow their nose on it constantly.

Thatisnotwhatisaid · 23/04/2021 07:16

2 adults, 3 children who use it and we get through a roll every other day so about 4-5 rolls a week. More when the DC and DH were all home during lockdowns.

@PandemicAtTheDisco

Electronic bidet sounds great.
They are wonderful things ! Your choice of water temperature, variable position of water jets, and there is an air blower to gently dry your nether regions. It's a great way to complete your toilet visit !
