i haven’t used tp since the pandemic. I tried a bidet and I never went back
Bidets are for washing and tp is for drying.
Where do they keep it all? How much did they buy actually?
Just get a bidet. if you are feeling fancy, get that one like those in japan. You will be converted.
If you got electric issues, get a spray jet.
Why do people hoard TP?
Like… So many useful things…
Water
Non-Perishible food/snacks
FM/AM Radios and Two-Way Radios
Satelite Phones
Self-Defence weapons (Or Firearms, if you are in such a jurisdiction that allows it)
Tools
But no, they went for the toilet paper… 🤣 🤦♂️
Can you imagine, you bought a pallet of TP in 2020, and you finally run out in 2025 just intime for there to be No TP because of tarrifs.
The universe has a weird sense of humour.
If you bought today, still during pandemic.
Covid is endemic now. Is there another pandemic?
Correct despite downvotes
Maybe im overthinking it, but couldn’t it have always been deemed endemic? I googled ts and cant grasp it 😂
It’s endemic when it’s just always there, like the common flu. Even if the numbers fluctuate. When it first appears and spreads across borders it’s pandemic.
And then there are big brains with bidets
As a European watching Japanese toilet technology I really do feel like a caveman sometimes.
Get one. Your bum will thank you for it
I’m just happy that the newest electrical code is allowing electrical outlets closer to bathtubs. Otherwise I’d never be able to have a powered bidet on my toilet.
Did GFCI not allow for it?
I’d have to go look up the exact wording, and it’s on my drive that I don’t have hooked up right now. GFCI was required for any outlet in a bathroom, but there was still a ban up until the most recent edition on any outlet within the… shoot, the word/phrase escapes me, something like ‘shower space,’ which includes the area with four horizontal feet of the edge of the bathtub. I have a toilet right next to the shower/tub combo, and a door next to the toilet, which meant no outlet allowed near the toilet and thus no electrically powered bidet.
We ran a power cord under the door. It is too important
Wife is not a fan of bidets, I wonder if having a toilet do the same is reasonable? I donno never tried it but always wondered
No joke but this somewhat describes me… I never hoarded TP, but I tend to buy toilet paper in large quantities (too lazy to go to grocery store) anyway, so I think my COVID stash lasted longer than my apartment at that time… I think I only used up all of it 2-3 years later. My then-roommate even took half of my stash when he moved out since I had so much lol
70% of humans have never used toilet paper before.
Like living or ever existed?
In this thread.
Lol
do bidet remove all need for paper? I thought i still needed it for drying.
You still need paper. For some poops, you’d need power washer pressure to remove allll the poop
Hmm seems difficult for the ticklish
Like beginning of pandemic? Hmm 5 years is a stretch but maybe a few.
There were the opportunists profiteering arseholes that hoarded necessities in hopes to sell them marked up to the skies. I hope their butts rot and their toilet paper is itchy and annoying.
That was a bizarre time period. I wonder why moms didn’t start hoarding baby diapers at the time. Can you imagine what happens if the supply chain collapses and you run out of diapers? Having enough toilet paper will be the last of your worries at that time.
Fortunately, all of those fears were unfounded, but they were also directed towards some weird items too. If you want to worry about something, toilet paper isn’t really very high on that list.
We had a baby that was finished breast and on to bottle milk in the thick of the pandemic lockdowns.
There were some shortages but I distinctly remember there being two boxes of formula left after a mild shortage, some mild concern setting in but suppressing the monkey brain and leaving one behind as I thought about the other parent that was going to come along behind me.
I think mums and dads are more likely to think about the other baby and be less grabby (edit: of baby products). Pure speculation. We didn’t have much toilet roll hoarding here though either.
Im glad this was not one of those weird items that everyone lost their minds over unnecessarily.
I mean, there were times without these mondern diapers. If you have a baby you will have plenty of different cloths that you can use as a diaper if necessary. Just like your able to get clean down there without TP. Bizzare times indeed.
Random bonus fact: Back then many Babies were potty trained by the time they were one year old just because its more work to diaper your child up with cloth diapers and clean them after use.
Right, you just use, you know, non-disposable diapers in that case.
I would need an entire room full.
How little are y’all shitting?
Bidet
Bidet users stocked up on TP during the pandemic?
You take a single sheet to dab water / double-check cleanliness.
You stocked up for that?
Buddy you might want to go back and read all these comments in context real fast cuz you’re missing something here.
I reread the thread and I still don’t get it.
Pretty clearly the post wasn’t about bidet users, because bidet users taking a long time to use TP isn’t noteworthy at all, so people replying that they use bidets is deadly boring.
What other context would I be missing?
Now imagine having to go through a roll a day
Yeah, this is shit, literally.
In my 2 person home, we go through a 12 pack in 2 weeks.
I dont even use 12 rolls in that time. wtf?
When you’re the caretaker of an 88 year old mother with diabetes, you go through that much.
And since you’re a ignorant young male, women dab their urethra after they piss, which my mother does at least a dozen times a day.
You’ll understand after you move out of your parent’s house.
And when one of you “Well, Akshully…” cunts try to save face, you’re wrong, and ignorant, and sound stupid to actual adults.
Why so hostile?
Because they’re going through some really hard life shit right now and wanted to get it off their chest.
I get that but it doesn’t give them the right to be toxic to innocent people.
Because people who have no idea what they’re talking about are stating:
"Hurrr, hurrr, I’ve never gone through that much…’
Well, now you’re learned something.
Seems like you’ve got some feelings you should work out fam. I get it but like expressing it this way you just look like an asshole. Hope your day goes well
I’m not your "fam.’
I’m educating young people who haven’t gone through it yet.
“Educating” my ass; have you ever thanked a teacher for calling you a wrong stupid cunt?
If I want to educate you on the proper way to respond to someone stating their own possibly-naive experience, I’d undermine my effort if I let my own cunt face follow it up with “Now go wipe your mom’s ass for the umpteenth time cuz you’re a shitty teacher.”
Sincerely, I don’t feel the kind of hostility towards you that that example suggests. But if you feel insulted, reflect on that and go from there.
You’re not educating anyone, you’re just being hostile for no reason.
You aren’t ‘educating’ you’re being a dick.
You don’t need to attack people in order to teach them something. It seems like there’s other things going on in your life that are bothering you. I hope things get better for you soon man.
Why such a bitch?
Why so ignorant?
Oh that’s right, spending on your life online, instead of touching grass.
Are you doing a “well, akshully” here while also complaining about that very behavior?
Damn thats wild :o
That feels, excessive.
I started tracking 2 weeks ago for fun. So far its 1 roll in 3 days avg for 2 people using this bathroom.
The result May change if you are using mega rolls or normal ones or w/e else is there.
When some finally got back in stock we got some but it was awful quality. We got some better stuff a little bit later. So we have a box of single ply in our garage still lol. I can’t imagine using it now though, probably covered in cobwebs and dust.
