A whole roll per day!

Haven't any of you realised that ALL toilet rolls are now much, MUCH less robust than they were originally? (Likewise paper hankies). In order not to have disgustingly wet (or worse!) hands when "wiping" I find that I have to fold and re-fold copious sheets of toilet paper to make it fit for purpose. Surely I am not the only one to know that all paper products are now FAR thinner.

Oh, and Yes Oops - the sheets are smaller as well being fewer to the roll!

I once went on holiday with a certain friend, staying in a holiday cottage, and was shocked at how much tp the 2 of us were getting through - more than a roll a day. Turned out she was using it to cleanse and dry her 'down belows' and I later found out that she'd had some kind of infection or allergy (I forget which) problem at the time.

Think the ‘puppies’ one is far too flimsy. Morrisons quilted is just as soft but far more robust.
Oh the power of advertising!!

Reminded me of visiting relatives from Canada back in the 80's. I couldn't understand how we'd got through 12 toilet rolls in 7 days, until our drain was blocked. Found that the two women were each using huge amounts of paper to blot their curly perms after every shower & bath....the norm at home at the time apparently!

Yes Disco
Far too much....

My friend once complained that her daughter was using too much TP. Turned out she was putting reams of it in the loo before use, "to avoid splash-back" hahahaha. Oh dear, TMI?

Sadly DH will only consider using the one that puppies eat.

Thanks to recommendations by Gnetters I now buy Nicky Elite loo paper. At 18 rolls for £3.99 I can afford not to be stingy with it. It is better than most brands of all prices that I previously tried. Nicky is sold in discount stores like Savers.

I casually mentioned ( at least I thought it was casually, DH immediately looked fierce) that there were boxes of tissues around the house that would be softer for him to use, he sniffed ( probably not on purpose) and said ‘oh yes, so there are’ so far he hasn’t used them, although it’s difficult to see from my lookout in the airing cupboard.
I hope the snow goes soon as I really do need to get out

Don't hold your breath, Baggs (oops, maybe not the best expression to use, given the topic ). Mr MamaCaz has never got past that extravagent stage, despite my many attempts to 'educate' him over the last 40 years!

Minibaggs is extravagent with loo paper. She gets ticked off regularly but I might as well bang my head on a brick wall ? I reckon once she has to start paying for loo roll she'll mend her ways and, because she's a bossy boots, will nag other people about their wastefulness ?

My GS is a fiend with toilet paper; pulls off reams of it and has to be “educated” regularly. He also can’t live without the bottom wet wipes, but is restricted to one per poo!

I hope he hasn’t been putting all that down the loo, that much may cause an expensive blockage. We’ve had the dreaded virus but use nice soft cotton hankies. They are kinder to your nose. if you know what your doing you don’t have to handle them too much when washing

Ah ha! Annsixty, he does and is going to book an appointment with the doc as soon as the snow goes or we go on holiday, whichever is sooner.
He used the very word Rhinitis!

Why would someone only use Izal?

I have a friend whose H will only use Izal. In their bathroom there are 2 holders, his and hers.
It hadn't occurred to me that it was hard to buy, I must aske her where she gets it from.
When my S is with us he uses the roll for blowing his nose and pulls off reams of the stuff, does your H have a cold or rhinitis Oopsadaisy?

Remember Bronco?

He certainly wasn't tearing across the Texas plain in my school toilets.

Chewbacca, so pleased that the Izal is unused, however, £4.99!! Goodness.

I’m investigating
I will report back

Do you have any visiting children?
DD used to pull off reams of toilet paper and use it to wrap up her dolls for some reason. Instead of wearing nice dolly clothes they all looked like mummies.

You'll be happy to know that someone on EBay is selling "new and unused genuine Izal toilet paper £4.99 per roll". Get your bid in quick!

Crikey oldgoat, that would definitely be several steps too far.
We wouldn’t use any of it!
Can you still buy it?

Eurgh! I remember Izal, it was awful!

Why not buy some of that nice shiny Izal paper. Your family won't be extravagent with that!

Methinks that further investigation is needed.
