That's unfortunate, considering the recent uprise in contaminated foods, which give you the shits. OTOH, upgrade to a TOTO, or other 'smart' toilet. Need less paper that way. https://www.consumerreports.org/home-garden/toilets/best-sma...

Who knew destroying the federal government would have knock-on consequences

Stock up on toilet paper before the price goes through the roof !!!!!

Get enough for a year for a family.

400 rolls would be a good start.

Act now and save money.

Maybe this will help people switch over from TP to bamboo. Not perfect but much more sustainable than cutting trees. We switched years ago.

Edit: I mixed up my words originally -- switch _from_ wood-based TP to bamboo is what I meant

My experience with these has been that I use more paper, because I always feel "wet" afterward.

Whereas with a good, solid, no-nonsense beef bomb, I can skimp a little as long as there's a good pinch at the end.
