Why Demanding of Toilet Paper Rolls so High?

[Kaitzilla]

Been 30 odd years but newspaper. It's god awful but rub it to soften it up.

That's a good idea.
I wonder how bad the ink staining is.

 

[Cutlass]

Down to 10 rolls.
Starting to sweat.
Even the dollar store useless toilet paper is gone.

The rumor is truckers are federally allowed unlimited driving now and are swarming the Charmin Factory.

Backup plan is paper towels + ziplock bags.
Final backup plan is kitty litter + shower, but it shouldn't ever come to that.

Paper towels do in fact flush. It's premoistened towelettes that you aren't allowed to flush. Wetwipes, baby cleaners, that sort of thing.

Be careful with paper towels if you have a low-flow toilet though.

You can flush them, but depending on the exact structure, they will not necessarily disintegrate in water and might clog the toilets.

Never mind the TP shortage, there also now seems to be a bidet shortage

Just been told onions and garlic is Chinese medicine to cure the coronavirus...thought this was a clever trick to get the younger kids to eat it. but she's serious about this, though me and the teenager weren't fooled, didn't want a full blown argument breaking out at dinner...

It won't cure it, but it should work beautifully for social distancing (as long as you avoid mouthwash or breath mints)...

I don't know, but I have had a few conversations where I replaced "cash" with "tp."

Those of us from rural south know how to handle toilet paper shortage. Eat more corn on the cob! The corn isn't important, but the cobs are free and work great! (Just don't flush them!) You're welcome!

So my friend that works at a grocery store tells me that people are coming in trying to return toilet paper they bought and the store had to post a no returns policy because they feel the need to sanitize the packaging if they take it back. Now that people are recognizing the consequences of the shutdown of their jobs they are a lot less concerned about having a three year supply laid in for their post apocalyptic pooping needs.

I don't understand. It's not like the toilet paper is going to go bad (I guess unless you store it improperly and it gets soggy). Just use it up.

Now that they are confronting the realities of running low on cash the TP just isn't looking as critical as it did last week, apparently.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Oh. That makes more sense.

 

[Timsup2nothin]

Oh. That makes more sense.

Yet still so much less than just not buying a mountain of toilet paper in the first place.

 

[The_J]

I think if you spend your last reserves on toilet paper, you might have more problems than your excess toilet paper.

Or the sewer lines.

Today we're headin' to poop town. Today we're haulin' paper-cola.

Charmin clean war boys: Paper-cola!

What about the 2nd wave of Covid-19? do you guys think there will be shortage of toilet paper again?

Some stores are placing limits again as a precaution. No, it won't be as bad as the first wave, because the people likely to buy a 'closet full' of toilet paper are still trying to use up their toilet paper they bought in March-April and reclaim their closet.

Well here in Sydney Australia we have better position many online stores are offering wholesale toilet paper in bulk quantity even they are offering pallets but I am concerned because we don't know how long will this pandemic last. I don't have enough space to stock that much toilet paper.
