People are panic-buying toilet paper because of the port strike. There is no need for that | CNN Business

Toilet paper shortages in stores across America are giving folks nightmarish reminders of the pandemic era. But the lack of toilet paper isn’t a direct result of a major port strike Tuesday. It’s because of panic buying.

    This is why you should keep all appliance User’s manuals.

      Cause it takes up a lot of space on store shelves. It’s really obvious when there’s a larger demand for them.

    Get a bidet and you won’t need as much toilet paper anymore.

        I still use a bit after washing to ensure I got everything. My bidet does have a dry function but sometimes the wipe is for insurance. Definitely have more than enough TP for a while now though.

    I use high thread count Egyptian cotton toilet paper, so it’s no joke.

    This is so stupid. Toilet paper lasts really long, so it makes sense to only stockpile it when it’s on discount and you have dry room to store it. If you actually run out, you can use other paper as a substitute (tissues, bills, pages of that book you hate).

    One roll lasts one person about a month. Maybe a bit less, if you use a lot for other purposes like cleaning things.

      Honestly some use way more than a roll a month.

      Like you, I’ve never understood TP panic vying. I have a years stock too

      You’re probably not a woman who uses paper for both sides.

        men usually use it to dry the tip of their willie too, if that’s what you mean. if we don’t it can become smelly. but i use 3-ply or more, because it’s usually cheaper and longer lasting than using 2-ply and folding it.
