grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

these people need to stop using so much of the stuff before i drop them off in nc and make them pick their own cotton!

4 square rule, man, *4* SQUARES, not 24.

Scott brand last way way longer than the cheap stuff.

If we use Anget Soft easily 2 or 3 rolls per day. One roll of Scott last at least 3 or 4 days.

make everyone buy their own and i bet they will not use as much :lol:

Are my kids using the bathroom at your house? :lol:

I've caught Kaya wrapping tp around her hand like a big boxing glove. :lol:

How about you give each kid a roll for the week and tell them, once it is gone, its GONE! :muaha:

Rory seems to think that he needs to COVER his poop with toilet paper before flushing.:eyes:

We have four - sometimes five girls in this house.

I SO understand. <sigh>

We go through 1 4 pack of the Scott 1000 sheet rolls per week. I absolutely believe it last much longer than when I was buying those 12 packs.

I agree. Charmin and Cottonelle are gone in no time in our house, but Scotts seems to last forever.

My husband taught our 2yo a GREAT trick. Samuel says,"I pooped! Long as your arm son." Which means, I pooped in the potty. The toilet paper should only be as long as my arm. He learned this after clogging TWO toilets with a roll of TP each. oops.

We used to go through an inordinate amount of TP, too, when we were using the soft squishy stuff. Now I use Scott extra soft, and a 12pk lasts a month here. I love it! It is much softer than the regular scott, but not quite as soft and linty as the fluffy ones. I usually get it on sale for $5 for a mega roll 12 pk. I stock up. :)

*lol*

We have cloth TP for those in our home who will use it. (my boys/men will not, so I have to buy paper for them....sigh)

Just having a few of us using the cloth TP saves $ and I can't stand paper now!!

I LOVE THIS! I'm going to use this at work! (I teach preschool)

I'll also use this at home to help my youngest and our older son with down syndrome understand what is the correct amount. (they are two of the paper toilet paper users around here)

Thanks!

Okay, I have the opposite problem in my house. My girlie uses 2 squares because she plugged the toilet up one time and it scared her. I can't convince her that she needs to use more! SO grosses me out because my kiddos aren't that great at washing their hands.

Kas, definately buy the Scott's toilet paper. ;)

I can't imagine using all of the TP you guys use! I change the roll for DH and I about every few weeks - and it's about the same for the other 2 bathrooms (each bathroom covers 2 people pretty much). I buy a pack of Scott tp about once every 3 months or so and it lasts forever! LOL!

I tell my boys that if it truly requires *that much* tp, then it's time to take a shower instead.

I go through the most when Andrew decides to unwind and flush an entire (usually new) roll of paper.

I tried the Scott. I think it lasted longer here because (to me) it's one step up from wiping with 120 grit sandpaper.

I think my DH changes out the roll when it is "almost" empty and then pitches the rest. I keep seeing almost empty rolls in the trash and I doubt it's the kids.
