A family of four will need about 16 rolls for a month. Hopefully, this makes you feel a little better about NOT needed to stock pile toilet paper - and if you currently have 96 rolls of toilet paper in your pantry - maybe think about sharing.
The Best Variety of the 80's Through Today. Beth Published: March 13, Share on Facebook Share on Twitter. According to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology , its thickness consists of two layers of 10 thickness paper, compared to 13 thickness of one-ply.
Regardless of the ply, we tend to use the same amount of sheets. This makes one-ply a better option for longevity. Men only use toilet paper when finishing a poo. Women will always use at least twice as much toilet paper as men, as they use it for poos and pees.
Sometimes they need it during menstrual cycles as well. On average , women use seven sheets per bathroom run, while men use two. How often one uses the bathroom almost directly correlates with how much toilet paper you use. The more you go, typically, the more sheets you use. The average person poops three times a day, three times a week. That number can change based on certain medical conditions.
Those experiencing diarrhea will use the bathroom much more frequently than the other person. This is when the stool is watery, and bathroom trips occur more than three or four times a day. Causes of diarrhea include food poisoning, stomach flu, and some medicines. On the flip side, constipation does the exact opposite; you go to the bathroom significantly less than you should, or you struggle to have a bowel movement.
That will result in less toilet paper used. In either dilemma, focus on eating healthy foods and drinking plenty of water to help combat congestion and diarrhea. That way, you can get back to having regular bowel movements. It can be used for many other things as well.
For example, people who ran out of tissue or Kleenex will substitute it with toilet paper. The primary difference is their texture: facial tissue is smoother, thus less likely to irritate the skin, while toilet paper is stronger to better clean up your mess.
Toilet paper is also a useful substitute for paper towels when used for cleaning. Paper towels are often used to clean up spills. IF… one of the poems I learned in grade school. Spot on Ken I have a decent stash of most stuff, Its not from going to the store and buying up huge quantities, its from buying a few extra here and there when able.
We live on an island in the middle of the ocean where everything pretty much comes from far far away land! Nothing irritates me more than people who barely pay attention to anything other than their facebook feeds and live in lalaland accusing folks practicing good common sense preparedness measures if being hoarders.
We have tons of em out of work here now, not a clue that it was their own damn fault for not paying attention to events and making sure they have at least a months worth of whatever, and that old folks comment is BS, my mom is going to be 88 and has a decent supply of most stuff. In fact, many of us here are older, remember times of shortages or are only one generation removed from the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl, and war time privations, and thus have planned accordingly.
Anony Mee How right you are!! At least we were taught to be as self reliant as possible and not be a burden on others.
NRP, Maybe if she does, you should box up some lettuce, tomatoes, and cabbage and mail it to her…. See how she would enjoy that! They multiplied by the time it got there and he opened the box!
Cookie, Do you have more money than any of us do? We could use it. Welcome to MSB. Had you been interested in being prepared, you would have discovered this site long ago.

If you are figuring on the government to save you, well……. Forget about the blame game, put on your game face, join us, and we will figure out a path to the other side of this together. Cookie, This is about much more than Toilet paper.
It is about a lifestyle of preparedness. We are not selfish, We paid the market price for every item we have. We bought according to our ability a few items at a time. We KNOW how to make do with less because we have always had less. Have you tried to use less of that precious commodity? Have you installed a bidet? We have done without things you probably call necessary,.. This is only the beginning of this fiasco.. I would join with Dennis and invite you to continue here, to read , learn and apply.
All of these Have video files.. I started stocking up a few years ago and figured out how many rolls I needed for one year. But every few months the toilet paper companies reduce the amount of sheets per roll. Now THAT is some stealth inflation. Someone should come up with a DIY project using one of those garden sprayers to make a post collapse bidet:.
All Toilet paper is not created equal. Since this is a time tested statement, it is almost impossible for me to determine IF i have enough.
Over the past few years i have had some awe-ful surprises…Most were bad, one was good… found one single ply and 3 rolls lasted over 2 months. Is it my favorite, no, it does work.
Found this, for any interested. Lambs ear Stachys byzantina and mullein Verbascum sp. They are in different families, require somewhat different cultural conditions and have different growth habits. Lambs ears grows in U. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 4 through 7 and can be used as a winter or spring annual in zones 8 through 11, although it cannot survive hot, humid summers. Mullein grows in USDA zones 5 through 9. Growth Habit and Appearance Lambs ears is a spreading perennial that forms a low, uniform mat of blue-green leaves with white wooly hairs under ideal conditions.
The leaves are 2 to 6 inches long and tongue shaped. Twelve to inch tall flower spikes appear in the summer with small purplish flowers. The first year mulleins form a rosette of wooly green leaves that may be 6 to 15 inches long. The second year they send up showy flower spikes that are 15 inches to 5 feet tall depending on the variety.
Flowers are yellow, purple, white or red. Cultural Conditions Mullien and lambs ears grow best in well drained soil and full sun or partial shade. Avoid very rich soil as growth tends to be weak if the soil is too fertile. Lambs ears tends to mat down and rot if there is too much rain or moisture on the leaves. The flowers of lambs ears are not particularly showy, so some gardeners remove the flower spikes as they form. Cut flower spikes off mullein to encourage a second round of flowers and reduce self sowing.
They always had big soft leaves to wipe your backside with. A handy plant to have around when someone forgets to pack the TP when you are backpacking in the wild. I actually had purchased re-usable family wipes several years ago. They are smaller than a wash cloth but much softer. Starting using them for number one and saving the TP for number two. It really helped the budget during lean times. Still use them, I actually prefer these over conventional TP. Just remember Women use 3 times as much TP.
They wipe every time. You figure it out. They like the softest stuff. I loaded up in this before Y2K.. Bought an extra 18 pack every time we went grocery shopping. I planned on using it for barter if needed.
As nothing happened my stash lasted over 6 months. Well worth the effort to store and it never spoils.
My wife hunts the specials brochures for cheap anything. I just went and counted the TP rolls — 2 packs of 24 rolls plus a pack of 12 plus what is in the immediate cupboard — another 12 — 14 rolls loose.
Consider stocking napkins instead of TP. Napkins can be used for more than just wiping the nether region. My pet peev is coffee. While I might reduce my intake, it would be rough to go without any. So I try to keep about 15 LBS on hand! Could be a fair batering product right? On a personal note, I use a warm squirt bottle to wipe out those nasty Klingons circling Uranus. Water plus the left hand is the general practice.
I went to India in I carried a roll around in my pack. Local people were astounded to find out what the roll was for. Most comments from them were inferring it was impossible to clean properly with T. P and frowned on the idea of using it.
Particular difficult when experiencing the common problem of Bali or Delhi Belly. Ever wondered what all those people were doing squatting in rivers you see in documentaries on third world countries?
