Just returned from the grocery store and had a funny thought tonight as I was putting away yet another 12 pack of TP.

What if all all of us united and bought the same TP? We could rule the TP market!!

Also reminded me of years ago when Johnny Carson said there was a TP shortage, I remember my grandmother

hoarding TP.

Ah....TP. I seriously doubt life would be good at all without it. Once when I traveled pretty far via car and no TP (not a good idea) I had a serious bowel movement. It hit me and I had about 10 seconds to pull over and hit the bushes. Turns out I needed TP....I ended up using my sock and driving home with a sweaty shoe. One can never have enough TP!!!!

I've been in remission for more than three years, and I still freaked out last week because I forgot to put TP on the grocery list and we "only" had 7 rolls in the house. My poor husband thought I'd lost my mind; I had to remind him that we get loopy about our TP.

I've actually been obsessive about my TP since before I was diagnosed. I always get the giant 20 packs at the grocery store, and if there are less than 4-5 rolls left, it's off to buy some more!

I usually get the cheap kind cause it functions better.

My husband and I were in a hotel over the fourth and between the two of us use more than a roll a day. We had half a roll left and house keeping didn't put a new one in. I had to ask the front desk to send some up lol.

My hubby and I get all sorts of stuff by the bulk, and on the bulk list is....... TP. Costco is so wonderful. When we get down to the last 9 I make sure we go to Costco. Then we are good for a few months.

Has anyone ever tried those moist wipes? I have tubs in every bathroom now and lots of refill packets. Cottonelle Fresh Wipes are the best! cool

We get our toilet paper from Costco too (a few others have mentioned that). During my flare, my poor husband was wondering why so many more Costco trips were suddenly required! I must have doubled our household TP usage... at least.

Took awhile before my wife could understand I could not just use any TP. I need the soft stuff, not the tree bark feeling stuff.
