FAQ

How much toilet paper does one person use?

Industry estimates land near 100 sheets a day — roughly a roll every two days per person. Your actual number depends on ply, sheet size, and honesty; adjust the sheets-per-visit field until the monthly figure matches what you actually buy.

How big should an emergency stock be?

Two weeks per person is a common preparedness target: about 7–8 regular rolls each. Beyond that you're trading storage space and money for diminishing returns — paper doesn't spoil, but the budget might.

Does ply change the math?

A 2-ply roll has fewer usable sheets than a 1-ply of the same size, because each sheet is doing double duty — people compensate with fewer sheets. Treat sheets-per-roll as the real unit, not roll count, when comparing packs.
