Families: How much toilet paper do you go through?
A roll a day is WAY too much. We have four people in our family, three that use the toilet all the time, and my youngest who is just learning. We only go through one roll a week. We'll go through a little more if someone's sick and is going more frequently. But on average only about a roll a week. When I taught my kids, I always stressed that you don't need a whole bunch. A long string that is wadded up in a ball and only used once wastes a lot of TP. Instead, I stressed, get about 5-6 sheets, and double it over and wipe. It's using about the same amount of TP on the actual mess as what you're using when you have a large ball of it. On a aide note, if you're trying to cut down on their amount of use, you could try this (a friend of mine did this and it worked), hide the package of paper, and set only two rolls in the bathroom (your kids bathroom or the family bathroom whichever) and say that you only get two rolls to last the whole week. When they're gone, they're gone and you'll have to start to use something else. Your kids will learn that it will be necessary to conserve it. TP is rather expensive and if you're going through it that fast you'll be surprised at the savings that are possible if you can get your family to cut down on the usage.
Can I use toilet paper instead of a pad?
it would be very messy. I mean if you are in an emergency and don't have anything else to use that is fine but you would go through a lot of tp. It wouldn't be dangerous to your health though.
Can toilet paper expire?
uhh no!!!
My 4 month precious kitten has a fetish for toilet paper. What should i do?
She made confetti for you! How cute! Yes, toilet paper confetti can be a real pain. I would suggest either keeping the bathroom door closed or to keep the toilet paper in a cabinet near the toilet until she discovers something better to kill. Someone I know tried balancing coins on top of the paper, so when the kitten reaches up to grab the paper, the coins would fall down and scare her. It worked for about two seconds. First she played with the coins, and then she made confetti.

Are you supposed to flush toilet paper or throw it in the trash?
Okay, this is a serious question. I'm asian, and I was taught to throw toilet paper in the trash, but I started flushing it in the toilet recently, and my parents were furious. They said that if it ever gets clogged we would have to pay a couple of thousand bucks to get it unclogged, and I've tried convincing them that toilet paper was meant to be flushed and most plumbing systems in the US can handle toilet paper, but they completely disregarded my reasoning and said that you should ALWAYS throw it in the bin. I personally think it's dirty to throw it in the trash can, so how do I convince my parents that it's okay to flush it? (They're really stubborn though.)
Why is my bathroom garbage bin filled with toilet paper every time my girlfriend visits?
I cannot definitively answer this question without knowing a few things; namely, the size of your garbage container, what other things may be in there under the top layer, and how densely packed the toilet paper is.But I can venture an educated guess. (Maybe this is why I was asked to answer this question.) TL; dr: She uses excessive amounts of paper during her normal toilet-related activities, and she's throwing it all in the garbage.Let me elaborate: she's likely a "wadder" (wadding paper up in a ball before wiping) rather than a "folder." To my recollection, toilet paper manufacturers encourage wadding, as it's much more inefficient at covering surface area and as a result, more product is used. (I remember reading about this in Where The Suckers Moon[1], a book partially about the agency Wieden+Kennedy. Early in his career, Dan Wieden wrote toilet paper ads.)On a personal note, the nice thing about wadding is that it puts lots of space between the hand and the soiled body part. If you fold it, you can often still feel your ... um ... waste. So many people still wad despite its inefficient nature. I do, and I'm not a particularly prim individual. Further research on the Toilet Paper World website[2] shows that people often use the product as makeshift seat covers. I don't do that, but I can see how a lot of people may be tempted. My one germophobe friend freely admits to making what she calls a "nest" anytime she uses a toilet that's not her own.At the risk of offending you, let me make another guess. You don't own the greatest toilet in the world.If your toilet is partially clogged or prone to overfilling, it may be that your girlfriend is throwing all her paper into the garbage, rather than flushing it. If she wads it up, that toilet paper is going to take up a lot of space. And if your toilet seat looks like it may not be 100% clean, she may be using additional product to create a liner -- maybe even a nest -- which could mean extra TP in the trash.[1] Where the Suckers Moon[2] Toilet Paper Quick Facts
If you fold toilet paper over multiple times and make it wet, will it stick together once dry?
Ahh-haah. Big sigh. Toilet paper.Yes, if you fold toilet paper in layers and dry it, it sticks together. Gets kinda hard and crusty. I think that’s called Paper Mache. TP Paper Mache.Since you made me curious I took strips of toilet paper and covered one of my dog’s Frisbees, sprayed it with water and started to blow it dry with my wife’s hairdryer. When my wife asked what I was doing I told her I was making a disposable Frisbee as an experiment for Quora that I could throw in the house. She gave me an odd look and took her hairdryer away from me. Right now the Frisbee is outside in the snow with no toilet paper on it. It is a dog toy, you know.Why all of all these toilet paper questions lately? And, why all from this Anonymous person? No one ever asks, “What happens when a Cockatoo flies into a rapidly turning ceiling fan?” I know about things besides toilet paper! Really!Don’t ask about the Cockatoo. It was at a friend’s house. His Cockatoo flew straight up into his ceiling fan, got knocked straight down onto the coffee table where it pooped. No, that idiot was to hard headed to be hurt.
