But then you need soap... which might be as tricky to procure as toilet paper these days. And for good reasons. Without it, disinfection ain't really happening.
I don't know how it's over there in the US but here, the hard soap (with "72%" stamped on it) is extremely cheap and overabundant. It's not very glamourous and pleasantly smelling but it foams and cleans and has bactericidic effect.

#24Kudos to the creator for building this tool. Personally, I wouldn't trust it. Men and women use drastically different amounts of toilet paper.
Then it's up to you to average the number sheets and toilet visits, appropriately weighted to get the correct results!
the calculator doesn't handle that because how _many_ times you go is not a valuable metric. The question is more how many times do you _poo_ in a day. Because pee uses little to none (men) or little to some (women).
then there's the question of how many sheets you use, on average per poo. Some folks use way more than others.
this is a pretty useless calculator.

#25I find https://got-paper.com/ much better in terms of functionality and UX.
Can't have <1 poop per day, it seems.

#26Neat. Can you please add a link to a Bidet search on Amazon. No one needs to fight over TP. If people can adopt the Namaste they can do the Bumspray
Most if not all bidets are sold out on Amazon

Did you tried the advanced options?

#29The “advanced” options could use some better defaults. For example, does anyone actually use “2 sheets per wipe”?
yes, 2 sheets folded together
4 sheets crumpled up gives much greater surface area, as well as perpendicular folds, with which to grab the target material. Wiping with a flat surface makes no sense at all, and likely requires multiple wipes to achieve the desired result.
I wish there were statistics on the commonality of various wiping techniques.

That was totally my thinking as well. It's fine for me, but if my girlfriend is staying with me I should expect a 4X increase in need.
