How do you ask a guest not to use so much toilet paper?

I know this sounds terrible but this is a "thing"  that has happened time and time again.  I keep having to call a plumber.  My current guest uses a about a roll and a half a day!   I buy the more expensive paper not a dinky little roll.  My plumbing just cant handle the amount of paper he is using.  The sewage cap popped off in my front yard and the neighbor noticed and called me.  There is overflow all over.  How can I approach  him with out embarrising him?  He is a very nice person and its the last thing I want to do is  embarrass him.  This has happened a few times in the past with other guest where I will hear a the toilet flushing and flushing and at this point, I know its going to happen.  Our toilets  are new and our main Line is new but its just too much paper.

I would have a trashcan in the bathroom and leave a note saying you’re having plumbing issues and to please not flush any paper, etc down the toilet.

We have an older property that we have updated, but something we didn't tackle directly yet.  For some reasons some of the guest (with kids) have clogged the toilet so we switched to Scott RV toilet paper and I must say we haven't had any issues.  You can get them in more bulk on amazon.  They aren't terribly uncomfortable.  Give them a try!
