A new website has been designed to help with the toilet paper crisis amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The site, called “HowMuchToiletPaper.com,” reports its average user has 500% more toilet paper than they need during quarantine.
The website is simple to use. First, go to the website, then users can enter how many rolls of toilet paper they have and how many times they visit the bathroom.

I went to two super markets looking for toilet paper and naturally the shelves were bare. Right next to the empty shelves were full supplies of Kleenex and other facial tissues.
It’s almost like someone posted a recipe to make amphetamine out of toilet paper on the internet. Maybe now we can buy Sudafed again.
Not that I don’t think people are overreacting here, but I question the validity of the calculations from this site. With six children in my home (four females total), we go through a lot of TP. A Costco pack lasts us a month, so I picked up two packs several weeks ago to last us two months. This site is based upon the faulty assumption that these two dudes are typical of everyone’s use. It’s BS.

OPSEC, people.. OPSEC.
I would Pure D Love to have some Democrat who has run out of tee shirts try to pull a raid on my TP supply.
I would be interested in testing the Match Kings vs the Green Tip HP on something other than ballistic gelatin...
After all, they created this mess. They've spent 3 years trying to overturn the election, and there are thousands of Socialist traitors in government who are blandly certain that they rule us, and are enjoying dragging down the President, and the Constitution, by any means...
I’m waiting for the environmental tree huggers to tell us how we can make toilet paper last twice as long and save the trees at the same time, by just remembering to use both sides.
If it doesn't ask how many sheets you use per dump, it is useless. Is there a standard number? No. It depends upon the squishiness or greasiness of the dump. A wet one needs more than a dryer one.
Also, there is a different time between dumps for most people.
LOL! You sound like am expert!
LOL!
Useless calculator. Rolls vary wildly in how much they have in them. Also, who’s making those toilet visits? Men? Women? What is the business being conducted, particularly for the men?
“...I question the validity of the calculations from this site.”
And, what about hemorrhoids? That can double the square footage back there that needs to be cleaned! Not to mention all the extra little crooks and crannies...
“Right next to the empty shelves were full supplies of Kleenex and other facial tissues.”
You’re lucky; in stores I’ve seen those - as well as paper napkins - gone as well (I suspect as substitute TP). Just a few rolls of paper towels left...
Also, they are probably only using one side of the paper - duh!
(kidding)
I don’t agree with their math. Rolls of single-sheet last longer than luxury double-sheet.
Scored this morning. Got a 27 roll Scott’s that should last 20 weeks. Have another on order from Amazon en route.
YMMV
Correction....Adjustment
Your Sheetage May Vary :)
If you can afford it, buy a bidet toilet seat. My daughter bought me one and it is a godsend. Warm seat, warm rinse water, not to mention needing a LOT less TP. Costco has them, and they're relatively easy to install. I needed to get an electrician to hook up in order to run it and warm the water, but it was well worth it.
