Excessive Toilet Paper Usage -- Greatest Hits
This is such a touchy subject that it's difficult to roll with given the broad areas it's expected to cover and the differing expectations from competing constituencies who prefer over the top or under in terms of delivery and let's not get into the myriad techniques of wiping; I know for a fact there were rolls of toilet paper in the old out-house made of $100 bills that were so flimsey my Uncle Seamus said they were worse than the old corn husks they used to use. Ouch!
I was amazed that 4 people could go through 4 rolls of toilet paper in less than 9hours, and they had gone to sleep when they arrived, and had just woken up the hour prior to my arrival. How much toilet paper should I be required to provide. My guests are only in the house for 3 days, if they go through 4 rolls in 9 hours, that's 32 rolls by the end of their stay.....help
Imagine all the ways people waste it - blowing their nose, taking off their make up, wrapping up their monthly femine products into neat, tidy bundles, lining the toilet seat before sitting down, stuffing their bras, winding it around breakables in their luggage, cleaning off the countertop, drying their foreheads,.... the list could go on and on besides the obvious copious use of tissue to clean their bums.
As a tip I have found by squeezing the loo roll so that it is Oval rather than Round stops the free flow pull effect and makes it harder to pull a wad of paper in one go.
Result, TP usage dramatic drop in usage
I think it would be more distrubing if they did not use any at all, I had four adults stay for 3 nights and they used less than one roll between them figure that one out!

That's my personal choice, after discovering that guests who run out of something will replace with stinky, toxic, horrible products that I have to dispose of when they check out. I am mildly sensitive to them, but others I know are highl sensitive.
When I was younger, toilet rolls had stack of sheets on them and lasted for ages. Nowadays domestic rolls are short and fluffy and run out in a day or two. They are a con to consumers.
Look around for the brands which have more sheets [1000 Vs 500] etc. These type are more tightly packed on the roll and last longer.
So in wrapping up this expose I got to say I'm wiped out, exhumed, expectorated, expulled.
Thumbs up if you like a post.
