Toilet Rolls

Marmalade

What do you call them, for a start? Also do you buy the packs of 6 or 12 , or the gigantic packs? ( Don’t you find the huge packs embarrassing? ( It’s like a sign - yes my family poop a LOT)

Who changes the roll in the bathroom? I have heard that men are a bit slack and don’t replace the old one, but I don’t either. It becomes a war of attrition.

Do you put the empty one in the bin or just balance it along the bath? You know you only chuck them in the bathroom bin when the pile is so huge that you have to push them out of the way to get through to the toilet.

Do you remember to recycle them?

So many questions.

Two bums here. We buy a 12 packs so we are never in a “shitty” situation. Whoever uses the last changes it, but we usually just chuck it into the bin because we never remember to recycle.

I think a 12 pack only lasts us less than a week! There is only the 3 of us.

toilet rolls

dh buys - 12 I think

I do (out numbered woman among three males)

usually in the bin? although i can form a collection on top of the loo (near flush button)

hmmmm - recycle. plead the fifth

but let’s not stop there - scrunch or fold? patterned or plain? with toilet roll placement, is the torn edge under or over?

I’m a folder.

Also, shit tickets or date roll can be alternative names

12 pack - no embarrassment - we all know what it’s for. Spare roll holder thing in the loo with 5 rolls stacked and when it gets down to one or if you take the last one off you need to refill it. We’re all pretty good at replacing the cardboard roll, occasionally it’s chucked out into the hallway until someone picks it up and into recycling but mostly goes straight in there.

8x rolls of Double Length Quilton 3ply. here.

Unrolled against the wall.Spares next to the toilets, no excuses for not replacing the roll.

However it is usually me who does the bulk restocking.

The puppy takes away the empty roll is she is around.

Hybrid scruncher/folder.

When you go do a poo, it’s called Pop a snapper.
I buy 1 roll at a time, otherwise I use a tonne of it. Mum use to ration it out to me for that reason LOL and it’s the home brand one I buy.
I call it toilet paper and it usually lives on the window sill. To lazy to put it on the holder LOL. The cat always goes on the window sill and knocks it off.
Scrunch/fold whatever at the time.

Rolls of toilet paper.

Aldi 24 pack here. I have no embarrassment about buying bulk toilet paper.

I seem to be the empty toilet roll fairy here being the only one to put them in the recycling bin. Got sick of that and told DH to actually do it too, and I refused to do it. Today I counted 11 empty rolls in the bathroom. Got a bit grumpy at DH and finally he’s put them in the recycling.

Spare rolls are to be replaced once there’s only one roll left in the toilet. Not doing this will get you growled at by me. Both DH and I do it. The 11yo still won’t do it yet.

Kind of fold with a bit of scrunch. Plain. Over.

We get a big box delivered. I’m the replenisher, the recycling removal, but only in the girls bathroom. I don’t know what goes on in the other one.

Gum-boots

We buy the double length rolls in 8 packs. That lasts a while as I’m the only female.

Everyone here replaces the roll or faces my wrath. Cardboard gets put straight in the recycling.

It’s never occurred to me to be embarrassed about buying toilet paper.

Toilet paper here. I buy the 9pk of quilton double length. It lasts us a few weeks. We don’t seem to use a lot of toilet paper.

Seperate boys and girls bathrooms here.

Boys bathroom is gross. Toilet rolls go wherever. Empty ones go wherever. Every so often I hold my breath and go in there to check it out, and yell accordingly.

Girls bathroom, I change the toilet paper. DD sometimes does, or sometimes leaves it sitting on top of the holder (WHY????). I take the empty roll to the recycling if I’m the one who changed it, or put it in the bathroom bin. DD puts them up on the shelf (WHY????).

Marmalade

I get the double length rolls too now. I know I’m weird - but a trolley full of food with a 24pack of loo rolls. It just doesn’t seem a good look. I am weird though.

Marmalade

I go through close to a roll a day .This is apparently a lot. Why did I start this topic?

squeekums

Marmalade normal for us a roll plus a day

M-M

We order a 24? 48? box of Who a Gives A Crap. Lasts us a while, only 3 of here though. DS is not so good at replacing roles but DH and I share. We do recycle the rolls but we have a new kitchen and and easy bin/recycling system so we have no excuse

ZuluAlpha

Kleenex 12 roll double length. Always buy bulk and covid has taught me that I am right to buy up big! We call them toilet rolls. On my shopping list App I call them Loo rolls.

Empty roll straight in the bin in the ensuite

DH throws them at the bin, so usually under the vanity 😠

Kids leave there’s on the toilet roll holder 😠

Wilding

ZuluAlpha is now the time to admit that I throw the empty rolls out the bathroom door while on the loo for the cat to play with? Sometimes it distracts him enough so he doesn’t climb all over me.

The pandemic shortage lead me to finally get onto signing up to Who Gives A Crap. I used their calculator and I can’t remember what it said but I diligently followed it and within no time we had more toilet paper than we knew what to do with! I think we were still finishing a box of 48 when the next turned up! So I stopped that a few months ago and still have toilet paper in the garage to get through. Coincidentally soon after I came across an article about how subscription services just don’t work for some products!

Anyway, the toilet rolls end up collecting on the floor by the wall until eventually I vacuum and mop in there and chuck them all in the recycling.

Heyho2

We get who gives a crap too. Our toilet roll holder is broken, it sits on the bathroom bench. I put the rolls in the recycling, because the family are hopeless. I did end up with too much paper during the pandemic (missed the email to say no thanks) so did donate that box to a local charity (end of humble brag 😅)

PuddingPlease

We get the big boxes delivered too. My youngest is a great collector of toilet rolls so I have been told off a few times when they turn up in the recycling. At the moment she is trying to collect six for some project or another.

Toilet paper/rolls is all we call it at home. Sometimes the rolls don’t get replaced and one of the kids will call out and the other will come running to help. It’s quite funny.

Woohoo

Toilet paper, bog roll – TP on the shopping list (not out of coyness, just to save on writing – other things get abbreviated too).

Gets changed by whoever uses the last bit (no kids here). Inners go into their own bin in the loo and are then transferred to a box near the wood heater as they’re used for fire starters.

ETA – usually buy a six pack of Care recycled double rolls (so the equivalent of 12). Always have at least a couple of packs in reserve. A friend used to refer to the 12 pack as the triple vindaloo pack.
