Is it normal that my flatmate uses nearly a roll of toilet paper a day

Ever since my flatmate moved in, we have been going through a remarkable amount of Toilet paper. I have already confronted him about it but he won't talk about this. He seems to be taking a normal amount of time when he is in there and doesn't seem to poo any more often than normal
I have never struck this before

    A couple of little bits of extra info I forgot to mention.
    The flatmate is a male, and I bought a 36 pack of Toilet paper a while ago, now we have nearly run out. I am going to wait and see if he buys some more. (I stashed a roll for myself)

    Maybe he leaks and needs to put some in his pants or some sort of embarrassing thing like that. Dont pressure him or anything hes probably very insecure about it. Just let him buy the toilet paper. ;)

  • Is he a cross dressing pre-op transexual and he uses the toilet paper to pad the bras he wears around so that it appears as if he has mammory glands?

      this seems unlikely, but I'll keep it in mind

    He could have bowel issues.
    or he's using the TP to wipe down after jerking off

    He could have dietary problems or IBS. you don't know, he could have explosive diarrhoea. Tell him to by his own toilet paper, but don't bug him about it. It's obviously something he's bothered and embarrassed about. I don't think it's normal.

    Tell him to fap into a sock instead.

    He could be using the toilet paper to wank into, so he can flush it for a quick cleanup! I used to do this until I had to start buying my own tp!

    My bros g/f uses it like its going out of fashion. Turns out she has some OCD thing where she is convinced bugs hide between the toilet roll sheets, and flushes loads away. Could be something like that....

    I had a similar issue with my last roommate, but not quite a roll a day. Turns out he was a stander (http://isitnormal.com/story/wiping-26527/) and I'd bet your roommate is one too if I had to guess...

        lol. I have stomach problems.. >.> and I'm a little OCD when it comes to toilet paper use. I fold/wrap the toilet paper a few times for added thickness..I can't help it. Even if I take too much I have to have a lot. I feel like whatever I'm wiping might seep through too easily so that's partly why I take a bunch.

        Also maybe my mom taught me it, although I don't remember potty training, because she has bad OCD. I have to wipe until I feel like everything is good. I'll probably take 6 long strands on average whether I'm just peeing or number 2ing.

    My wife, daughter, and I go through a roll a day. They left the house a few month's ago, for a week and a half..... I was still on the same roll of toilet paper, when they got back.

    Wow, I thought I was the only person who knew someone like this. My cousin does the exact same thing. We'll buy a four-pack of toilet paper and two days later, there will usually be only one left. This makes no sense to me seeing as how every room she inhabits is a pig-sty, and she certainly is not a clean freak. To each their own, though, I guess. As long as I'm not the one having to buy toilet paper anymore, I could care less what she does with it.

    I was in a similar situation when I was flatting with a mate of mine. It got to a point we would take our own rolls of toilet paper to the bathroom when we needed to.

    I suggest you speak to your flatmate and have him purchase toilet rolls himself.

    Leave the man alone, he just wants to wipe his ass. Maybe he likes his ass clean? Sounds more like a problem with you being bored, get a hobby man and stop worrying about how much toilet paper people use.

        LOL, I use a lot of paper i wont lie. I wrap my hand a few times cause I dont want to get crap on it and I do quite a few saftey wipes just to make sure. Yes, I guess its kind of waste but I cant deal with turd on my hand or in the buttcheeks. I am by no means a clean freak but I cant deal with poo on my hands or butt. Kind of safer to have to many wraps than not enough. My wife bitches about it but I would rather have that than chap ass cheeks or smelly hands.

          Ok, I see. So do you fully wrap around your hand? like all fingers and palm then stroke or what? and do you take a fresh piece each time or somehow use each side of your hand?

            wrap around entire hand 3 or 4 times, slide it off hand and use that 8 layer square then throw in toilet. On the final safety checks you can fold it again and apply light pressure and go again. Now if im at a business the number of wraps goes up drastically because of the quality of the paper. All this usually requires double and triple flushing.

    Guys seem to use about 1/10th of what women use when you consider make-up removal and whatever else.

      I did notice that when I moved in with my girlfriend, not only with t/p, but she uses tons of qtips for her makeup. (although I don't know how you use qtips in the makeup application process)
