Most if not all bidets are sold out on Amazon
Yeah, that's generally how this has gone. The first reaction stockpiling happens, then after that runs out people figure out alternatives. First hand sanitizer went, then rubbing alcohol and aloe vera later. First toilet paper went, then bidets. First water bottles went, and I wouldn't be surprised if we have a run on water filters too. But as things start coming back into supply, I'd expect it is easier to get a bid…
Wet wipes, tissues and kitchen paper are closer alternatives to toilet paper

Can't have <1 poop per day, it seems.
Probably need to stockpile some more fiber if this is an option you are looking for!
It isn't necessarily about fiber. I don't eat much because I've been trying to keep off all the weight I've lost over the past decade. Consequently I have a lot less volume to deal with so I don't poop much.

#56This is a difficult problem. During WWII the Army of the United States calculated the amount of toilet paper required to win the war in Europe at 20 squares per soldier per day. The British did the same calculation supplied their troops 4 squares per soldier per day.

Got Paper author here. I didn't account for that! I guess you could approximate with less wipes. Do you use so little toilet paper you don't need a calculator anyway?
Same The answer is yes, and since I always buy in bulk, I literally go years without purchasing more. I was running lowish, but even the few I have remaining should let me weather this storm.

You’ve never been to 3rd world countries, they’re very creative there.

#59Two tricks we should all be adopting:
1) Bidet
2) Wet toilet paper
Cleans much better. And less abrasive.
But yeah, two squares isn't really realistic.

#60Everyone is moaning about availability of toilet paper.
The solution to the pandemic is so obvious.
Just stop the sale of all toilet paper,
1. Handshakes will become a thing of the past.
2. People will do a much better job of washing their hands.
3. Social distancing will increase.
