Toilet Paper Facts

I am not so sure you have noticed, so I thought you should be informed that toilet paper is getting smaller. The standard size for years had been 4.5 by 4.5 inches, but now most manufacturers have gone to 4.5 by 4 or 4.5 by 4.3 inches.

The British pay twice as much as Germans or French, and nearly three times as much as the Americans for a standard four-pack roll.

Studies show that the average user of toilet paper uses about the same number of sheets whether it is three ply, two ply, or one ply. So, when using the loo, one ply will do - and it's cheaper.

  1. I agree in using the same number of sheets regardless of the "ply-rating" (more gray toilet tissue termoligy at best)but I have noticed an increase of 1 to 3 sheets per use, because of the smaller size sheets. Why deceave us,like we won't catch on, just jack the price with the tried and true explination we are accustomed to by now.Passing on increased cost.

  2. You would think prices would go down with the economy going down. Not so, prices keep going up anyway.

  3. Northern just went down to 4 inch wide rolls and kept the price the same or higher- who makes 4 1/2 or 5 inch wide rolls. A 4 in. roll looks rediculis in my ceramic wall dispensor. inch gap showing.why.?
