The answer to this can be influenced by a number of factors, none of which are addressed in the question.

1) Scruncher or folder? Do the average couple scrunch their toilet paper (tp) or fold it before wiping?

2) Characteristics of toilet paper? What sheet size, quality, number of layers, number of sheets per roll, paper thickness, embossing, etc?

3) Diet of the people involved?  Eat lots of chilli, on a certain type of diet etc?

4) Health of the people involved? Got a case of the runs? Will use more paper.

4) Gender of the people involved? Typically men will use less paper, esp for #1 since they can flip dry instead of wipe dry?

5) Lifestyle of the people involved? eg Lots of alcohol and caffeine consumption will lead to increased toilet use, meaning to increased paper consumption.

6) Activity patterns of people involved? Eg time spent not at home (ie at work, shopping, entertainment places etc) and toilet use in those places and whether tp consumption in those places is counted in the question posed here)

Tough question as it would depend on what size roll is being used and if it is used for more than just normal duty. But the number of days a standard roll of bath tissue usually lasts in the most-used bathrooms in the house is five, according to Charmin customers.

 

Here are some facts about toilet paper that may just come in handy to you someday.

 


*China…AD 1391 - The Bureau of Imperial Supplies began producing 720,000 sheets of toilet paper a year, each sheet measuring two feet by three feet. For use by the Emperors. 

 


Scott Paper Company marketed the first rolls of toilet paper.

 

The roll did not easily fit into the consumer market at first. At the time, society did not speak of the subject frequently. It was quite 'unmentionable" to talk about this product in the conservative, Victorian era. However, during this time indoor plumbing was improving and the public had a desire for better hygiene.

 

Before toilet paper, people used:

Newsprint, paper catalogue pages in early US
*Hayballs, Scraper/gompf stick kept in container by the privy in the Middle Ages
*Discarded sheep's wool in the Viking Age, England
*Frayed end of an old anchor cable was used by sailing crews from Spain and Portugal *Medieval Europe- Straw, hay, grass, gompf stick
*Corn cobs, Sears Roebuck catalog, mussel shell, newspaper, leaves, sand- United States
*Water and your left hand, India
*Pages from a book, British Lords
*Coconut shells in early Hawaii
*Lace was used by French Royalty
*Public Restrooms in Ancient Rome- A sponge soaked in salt water, on the end of a stick
*The Wealthy in Ancient Rome-Wool and Rosewater
*French Royalty-lace, hemp
*Hemp & wool were used by the elite citizens of the world
*Defecating in the river was very common internationally
*Bidet, France
*Snow and Tundra Moss were used by early Eskimos

 

The size of a sheet of toilet paper may vary from one manufacturer to another. The standard size is 4.5" x 4.5". However, in the last 10 years manufacturers have come out with "cheater sheets". These can run as small as 4" x 3.8"! This means about 15% less paper. So don't be confused by the advertisement that says "our roll of toilet paper is the cheapest". It may be that theirs has less sheets and smaller size sheets.

 

The military used toilet paper to camouflage their tanks in Saudi Arabia, during the Desert Storm War.

 

In 1996, President Clinton passed a law on toilet paper, taxing each roll 6 cents and increasing the price of the product to 30 cents per roll. The price of toilet paper has not been this costly since the Desert Storm War in 1990.

 

Thats right friends, you probably didn't know that you get taxed for using toilet paper. I wonder what the tax protesters use?

 

Good luck and best wishes.

Never give up on someone you can't go a day without thinking about. 

I think it depends on how many sheets of toilet paper you use each time you go to the bathroom.

Laughing Perhaps the person who poops more uses more. LOL
