Is ours the only household that seems to get through seemingly hundreds of them.
There's enough empty ones around the house to build a full size Saturn rocket let alone a blue Peter one.

Do you mount them the correct way?

Incorrect mounting can lead to excessive spooling I find.

Give roll a squeeze when installing to prevent excessive spinning when pulling paper.

Our kids used miles of the stuff when younger.

Use three shells, like everyone else.

I've been with my wife for nearly seventeen years now and it is still a mystery to me as to what she does with toilet roll. Never known anyone use so much.

Women are wrappers not folders.
One wrap to a wipe.
Do the maths!

You need a home urinal like this Laufen one that I installed in our downstairs bog; it even has an aiming fly!

Im convinced we have aloo roll thief in the office. Theres usually only 2 in the office most days, but we've gone through over 9 rolls in Feb, which seems a little excessive. Thats half a roll A (working) DAY!

On and why is it SO difficult for manufacturers to make a roll that consistently tears along the perforations, not halfway across leaving a strip that wouldn't wipe a gnats bottom without turning it into a dirty protest?

So many questions...

Folder or scruncher?

Roll against the wall or towards the room?

Reach round or through the legs?

Standing or sitting?

Groupon occasionally do bulk buy loo rolls.
I was always against them as they are the great unknown. What if it turns out to be awful stuff and you're stuck with 60 rolls of the stuff?
As usual though, my wife decided to ignore my concerns and bought a massive job lot (about a million rolls I think!).
That was about 8 months ago and there's still about 18 rolls to go.
Luckily for her it was OK stuff so not been a problem.
The big worry for me is that she might do it again and it be rubbish next time.
Also, storing bulk quanitities of loo roll is not space efficient!

Also...

Reach round or through the legs?

How does through work? Wouldn't that smear the smelly stuff all over my balls? 😯

Do you normally smear it up your back?

There's a longer runout at the back

Through the legs is just plain wrong. Reach around and cheek lift for best angle and deep clean 😕 Can't believe I've reduced myself to describing arse wiping techniques. Thanks STW

You have women in the house. HTH.

Every woman I've ever shared living space with has wrapped roll round and round their hand to clean up after a wee. I can only assume their output is a cross between a carthorse and a lawn sprinkler.

Can't believe I've reduced myself to describing arse wiping techniques

There was a long thread on just this quite a while back.

Think yourself lucky, I lived in a shared house at uni where there were 3 guys and 2 girls, the 3 guys shared a bathroom and it was approx a loo roll every 4-7 days, the girls got through an average of 6 per week! 😯 (one of the housemates was really anal about money so numbered every loo roll inside the roll when we were getting through so much - but that's another story altogether)

+1
But the real question is scrunch or fold? (And the only correct answer is fold) 😆

You're using the wrong loo roll.

To stop people pissing in it?

There was an empty roll on the holder this morning and guess who didn't check before he sat down.

I'm going to get some shiny Izal bog paper that'll show them. 😆

Can be quite thermally efficient if you pile it around the walls

Can you still get that? And - more to the point - what was the purpose of bog roll that you simply can't wipe your arse with?

Not so much 'absorb' as 'redistribute'.

I love the look on the face of that woman towards the end.

Have you considered installing a covert camera and then confronting her with the evidence?
