What happened to the "normal" size TP roll..it's .... - Page 2

Vivian · ‎03-11-2010

The so-called normal sized toilet paper is ridiculously short and narrow. When I first noticed that the roll was taking up just part of the holder I called the manufacturer. I complained that t-paper was getting so narrow that pretty soon we'd be using dental floss. The rep laughed but, of course, nothing changed, except the rolls became even smaller. Therefore, if we don't want to change rolls all the time we choose the Mega rolls, which also don't fit the holders, but for the opposite reason.

Leave it to you to "remind" me of those childhood moments😉

True story my dad was a master plumber, we lived in the country & had a septic system. TP was not a good thing for it I guess..

because as kids we were forbidden to use more than 4 squares of single ply -- my brother used to say my dad marked the roll.

oh the dumb things we "abided by" as kids🙄🙄

I like the "mega" sized rolls. They fit on my dispensers just fine, and the less often that I have to change the roll, the better.

Thanks to the great TP hoarding adventure of 2020, I have several raft sized packages of TP in my basement. It's gonna be a long time before I need to buy more!

Do the extenders work without also moving where the holder is attached to the wall?

I'll trade you 6 mega rolls for 6 double (or standard size) 😉😂

@homedecor1 I've had plumbing problems in two homes (no septic tanks) and have had plumbers in both cases recommend single ply Scott 1000 TP. I still use it. It disintegrates instantly.

I have the toilet paper holder stand which holds 4 mega rolls stacked on each other and one hangs from the handle on top. They also have those for the regular rolls. They work great for us.

I once bought the mega roll and realized that it couldnt fit the regular toilet paper stand so I had to buy the mega toilet paper stand to fit the mega toilet paper lol. Just typing this made me laugh.

Hmmmm toilet paper holder extenders...who would have ever thought we'd need that, but, I'm going to Amazon right now to order. Although, I don't think it'll work on my guest bath one as I have a newer style holder.

Thanks🙂🙂🙂

The extender might work, but I would think the issued would also be because the roll is to thick around. I don't have a holder in my bathroom, I put the TP in an old crock, that sits on the floor.
