My DH counted 143 rolls before he got confused with his numbers so we might have more. The calculator says this will last us a year. We had all of this before the coronavirus so we were not hoarding. I guess we just kept buying it not realizing how much we already have.
How many people in your tribe.. er, family?
I have twenty rolls.. will last me (singly) over 2 YEARS!
But I have a new, delightfully sanitary Toto Washlet!
And I pee in the shower.
Don't understand the hoarding/hysteria at all.

This is embarrassing to admit. There are only 2 of us. We were not hoarding, though. Over the years, we have purchased more TP than we need. At least, we are set during this crisis.

Here in south Florida, we see this every time we are in the "cone of uncertainty" of a major hurricane. You learn how to stock up.

Why is peeing in the shower LESS sanitary than wiping with soon-to-be-soiled paper, then flushing?
Not to mentioned the gross 'wipe-and-smear' method for more serious stuff?
Get a bidet before the panic buying starts!

Our situation depends much on collateral damage in the stock market. If our retirement accounts hold up, were Ok. But it we get wiped on Wall Street, that might get us wiped out at home as well.

Good for you, Terry. After over 10 years as a TUG member and for not cluttering the place up with mindless drivvel, THANKS! And since form an earlier post, I see you are in a solo household, Who cares if you pee in the shower?!?! I just last week bought and installed a bidet, and wonder why the (bleep) I didn't do it sooner! This thing is WONDERFUL, and refreshing and makes the ol' heinie feel all fresh and clean.

This thread is about TP...

But I am very sorry that you are in the situation where your retirement depends on what is happening on Wall Street. I am optimistic for a Q3 to Q4 recovery. Hang in there.

When I mentioned stock market collateral damage, I was referring to impacts on home TP requirements. There is linkage. :banana:

Here's some old advice from a Shiite:
Toilet Rules by: Ayatollah Khomeini
....It is not necessary to wipe one's anus with three stones or with three pieces of fabric: a single stone or single piece of fabric is enough. But if one wipes with a bone, or any sacred object, such as, for example, a paper having the name of Allah on it, one may not say his prayers while in this state.


...During evacuation, one must not squat facing the sun or the moon, unless one's genitals are covered. While defecating, one must also avoid squatting exposed to the wind, or in public places, or at the door of one's house, or under a fruit tree. At the time of the evacuation, one must also avoid eating, dallying, or washing one's anus with the right hand. Finally, one must avoid talking, unless one is absolutely forced to or is addressing a prayer to Allah.


....Urinating and defecating are forbidden in four places: blind alleys, except with the permission of those living along them; the property of a person who has not given permission to do so; places of worship, such as a certain medersas [Arabic schools]; graves of believers, unless one does so as an insult to them.

Still none in the stores here, and no napkins or paper towels.
