For most of us we arent supposed to "wipe" but use wipes and dab however was wondering what brands you all use for TP and on average how many rolls you all use in a month ( if you can list the normal amount of people using the facilities per month too)

I get double ply angel soft and my house goes through an average of 12 double sized rolls a month (family of 4)

I love my charmin TP.

specially soft... local brand.. maybe 2, 24 packs a month.. normal rolls, and there is just 2 of us....;o)

I find they are all sand paper or just too soft . Nothing like the old finger break through mid wipe to goose you into changing brands . I'll stick with the tough stuff .

The Blue wrapped Charmin Mega rolls. We probably go through about 18 - 24 rolls per month. 3 bathrooms, 3 - 4 people depending on who is home.

I go for volume! I like Scott! Big rolls that last longer, LOL.

Scott Extra Soft Mega Roll - I dunno how much we use.  I loose track because I have a 3 year old who uses WAY too much when she's not being monitored.  eyes tongue

I buy the 3 ply toilet paper from Costco....90 rolls/package on sale for 17 bucks, can't beat that, especially with it being 3 ply and it is soft enough for my poor anal skin tags. It lasts in my house for almost 3 months (hubby and I use it) and I put a package in the bathroom my son uses and it lasts him a very long time.

I guess until i moved in a 24 pack of TP would last these 3 guys a LONG time and they wonder what the heck I am doing with it no matter how often they see me run in there i just dont think it clicks...since my surgeries I make a mess with the D so I need more than I once use to prior to my surgeries that and with my stricture before I had lots of C

I use Walmarts White Cloud. We go thru 12 double rolls a month or so. Its just hubby and I.

I have always used alot of TP, because I don't want to have an experience like Sniper mentioned:)

I use the TP and wet flushable wipes my GI said I shouldnt even be using TP on my botton due to the skin tags etc best a bidet but wet wipes and dab...but I need to get around the darn skin tags I hate when they get itchy too

Until this past week, we used Cottonelle blue pack.  The stupid grocery chain here is making everything to their own brand and just got rid of Cottonelle and their brand is BAD!!!!  Hubby and I alone can use a 24 pack in about 1.5-2 weeks

Now at least I have a list of new ones to try.  Dragonfly....I try not to use paper when the tags are bad....hosing off with the sitz hose or jumping in the shower really is the least nasty way for my tags

Northern. Charmin clogs. And wet wipes too. Huggies or Pampers or even Wet Ones w/ Aloe. The cheap wipes or Off-Brand like Wal*Mart or Target Brand are garbage and usually bone dry. Not worth saving 2 cents on.

Walgreens Ultra

Charmin Extra Strong. And with just my husband and me, we use up a big roll every week. Sigh.

Angel Soft. I'm not sure how much.

So I wonder how many of us use TP? Me, being a female and all, I still use TP but not for my bum...otherwise I use wipes only (and those that say they are safe for septic/sewer...not all wipes are safe, many are not)...I myself do not like the cottenelle, they irritate me too much, so I prefer the toddler wipes (usually by Huggie) and a follow up with a prep H wipe (which we get in the 3 packs at Costco for a pretty decent price)

Even DH who does not have crohn's uses the wipes...but the TP we do buy is the Costco Charmin (ultra I think) before wipes, we had to get 2 a month for the 2 of us...now we are down to 2 per year for the 2 of us...

I don't have a particular brand we use regularly, whatever's on sale or I have a good coupon for. With 4 of us in the house, we go through about 48 double rolls per month. I guess I should say I. The boys go through about a roll a week, hubby and I use the rest in our bathroom.

Hubby and I go through a 12 pack of Scott double ply big rolls a month. Most of it is me...

Charmin extra soft!!!!!! I can use almost a roll in 2 days!
Posted 7/30/2011 3:22 PM (GMT 0)
Oh yeah I use Huggies wipes too. Just helps to get things extra clean. Hugs!

I only use Cottonelle tongue and Huggies wipes.

I use a LOT of tp on weekends, which is when I take my BOX of laxatives!

i like the costco brand the best...and it's cost effective too

We buy the Charmin Blue wrapper for hubs. It's HIS -- no one touches it!

Rest of us use Scott; I guess my hubs uses a 24-pack over about a month-2 months. But his Crohn's is the fistulizing kind, so he was never one to be running to the bathroom a lot. Now, before his fistulas closed, our issue was running through panty liner pads, OIY! <---TMI?
