don't believe everything on the package. It didn't work for me either.

Maybe it's true in a household composed only of men.

^^ And who work out of the house all day!!

If you have a bidet seat toilet, then maybe, but even then, I am not so sure. You would need a small household of men.

And, especially when the rolls keep getting smaller and smaller. And, yet

no cheaper. Hmmmmm. :)

Hmmm, "Angel Soft" mega-rolls last noticeably longer than their double-roll size. But a week per roll, no way!

Absolutely not.

TP is "wound" loser and much narrower is width. I remember when I was young the roll fit on the roller end to end. Now there is more than an 1/2 inch on each side.

I have 3 toilets in my house and use them all in the course of the day, so I can't judge my usage. The big question is how many sheets do you use at a time? And I guess even that varies, ahem.

Toilet paper fun facts: In an average household, the average roll of toilet paper lasts approximately five days. Consumers use approximately 8 - 9 sheets of paper per toilet use. We use an average of 57 sheets of toilet paper a day! Seven percent of Americans steal rolls of toilet paper in hotels or motels.

We're a household of two. Our Sam's Club toilet rolls last more than a week in each of our two bathrooms. We buy this package twice a year: https://scene7.samsclub.com/is/image/samsclub/0007874224113_A?$DT_Zoom$

(The toilet rolls in Europe do NOT last as long as they are much smaller.)

With 4 kids, I've seen them go through a roll in their bathroom in a DAY!!

I finally had to sit them all down and show them what an appropriate amount is. My 6 year old will still count out five sheets, then tear it off and use it.

A roll a week? A single roll? Not hardly! Whoever is " doing their research "should be replaced! Laughable.

Maybe they assume most people work, so they don’t use the bathroom at home all day.

Hope they are buying double or triple rolls. ;-)

Maybe this is old news, going back to the time when rolls were MUCH larger?!

(And not as "tight-assed" as it appears that the paper makers seem to have decided that has occurred with modern humans, so needing narrower paper).

o j ... who uses 4 squares per, folded twice, and usually 2 pulls per each of several visits daily

For me, that would have to be a really big roll!

The antique Onliwon dispenser would dispense two sheets of toilet paper at a time. I'm thinking that former generations might have been smaller, and as a whole, less obese, so usage may have been less?

Do thinner, smaller people use less T.P. ? ( Asking for a friend )

Okay, I have to admit that I've never read the outside of the package. I just went and looked, and my current package doesn't contain any usage recommendations. LOL!

As a household of two, I'd have to say that a roll a week isn't too far off. I usually buy packages of 12, and I wouldn't think I'd buy them more than every two to three months.

And there are lots of variables to this. How many boys or girls in the household, how often we use the toilet for #1 and #2 LOL Don't want to go into how much that can vary LOL

We've too have noticed that rolls seem to be smaller and more loosely wound. It's not a big expense in any event and hopefully the cost of TP isn't a personal budget killer for anyone

"Do thinner, smaller people use less T.P. ? ( Asking for a friend )"

Of course they do. Less in, less out.

"Of course they do. Less in, less out."

Presupposing a completely invalid assumption that smaller, thinner people naturally consume less than anyone of a larger size.

I totally agree with Gardengal. My sister has Crohn's disease and is thin as a rail but in the washroom alot. I'm pretty sure she goes through lots of toilet paper.

If you're visiting the can frequently, even if not a heavy production per, one can wonder, I think, how much is being retained and put to good use.

I can say with authority that a lab puppy eats more food than an adult border collie ... and has an output proportional to input. Yikes, why didn't we go with a smaller breed this time. But at least they require no toilet paper!

We use the Sam's Club Mega rolls (when they have those) and I would say we change a roll once a day, maybe two days if we are out of the house more. It is just the two of us. I can't imagine one lasting a week?! No way! We even try to be conservative with only using 6 squares for a piddle (as someone called it). Of course more for the other.

4 square and no more! That was the lecture we got from my father when we were growing up. Just to make him turn in his grave, I occasionally use 5!

I've noticed that in the brand that I've used for years and years (Scott 1000) it now takes many more squares because the density of the paper is now much less, so it is less absorbent.

@arkansas girl - once a DAY?

This thread is cracking me up. Guess I never really thought about how quick we go through a roll of tp as an average...

I have noticed some brands or roll sizes will last longer or less. Fluffier and smaller rolls don't last as long, and bigger more solid rolls last longer. Regular rolls vs super-jumbo-mega-giant whatever a company calls bigger to biggest rolls. Or if it's regular, ultra plush/strong/whatever can make a difference too in how much is used and how long it lasts.

There's a joke about toilet paper math being the hardest kind of math to figure out, lol.

Halfway off topic: charmin-toilet-paper-robot-36703557

Ha-ha! I heard about the TP robot on the radio yesterday from someone reporting from the Vegas electronics show. All about brand recognition for Charmin, IMO.

I started to notice TP use back when the rolls shrank in width while the diameter of the cardboard rollers increased and the costs rose. Today I paid 83 cents per roll for Northern quilted triple-ply that has 4" X 4" sheets -- 308 sheets, according to the package. This was at a chain grocer, discounted $2, with a coupon on the package, plus I had a 50 cent coupon.

A quick way to judge value is to weigh two same-size packages in your hands.

We are two retired-and-at-home adults with four toilets. I don't know weekly usage, but I seem to be replacing TP in all of the bathrooms within a few days time.
