Toilet paper calculator tells you if you’re hoarding or destined to run out

Some panic buyers have 500% more than they need, it says

There’s no need to panic-buy toilet paper — or anything else for that matter — during the coronavirus outbreak, as grocery stores are constantly restocking their shelves. But in case you’re concerned about your toilet paper stash, the website “How Much Toilet Paper?” can help ease your mind. 

How Much Toilet Paper? is essentially a toilet paper calculator that lets you know how long your current supply will last. By simply entering the number of toilet paper rolls you have. plus an estimated number of times you use the bathroom in a day, the website will give you the number of days your supply will last you.

So let’s say, for example, that you have six rolls right now and use the bathroom around seven times per day. According to the website, this means your current toilet paper supply should last you 14 days of your quarantine before you have to go out and brave the crowds. 

If you really want to get specific, you can also enter the number of sheets of toilet paper you use per trip, the number of people in your household, and the number of days you expect to be in quarantine. 

According to the site’s “About” section, the website has been used by over 2 million people. The site also says that the average user who calculates their toilet paper usage has 500% more toilet paper than they need for quarantine. 

However, if you live in an unlucky area and still haven’t been able to track down rolls of toilet paper, there’s always the possibility of a bidet attachment like Tushy’s that affixes to your toilet. By using a bidet attachment, you’ll use less toilet paper and apparently feel cleaner, too, so win-win.

A virtual private network (VPN) encrypts your internet traffic and routes it through a server run by the VPN provider. Websites see the VPN server’s IP address instead of yours, and you can get around geo-blocks, censorship, and ISP throttling. The best VPN services are paid, but there are still a handful of free options that do the job well. 

Most free VPNs come with a hidden cost, because running servers isn’t cheap and a company that doesn’t charge you has to make its money somewhere else. Many do so by logging your browsing activity and selling it to advertisers, while others flood you with ads and track you across apps.
