It is the worst of times…

[Patsy Baloney]

My preferred TP is out of stock everywhere.

I have a contact allergy to bleached toilet paper. I’ve ordered a substitute to try.

Please, god of flaps, spare mine from your wrath.

[fivechickens]

Oh no… is it happening again? Are people hoarding toilet paper?!?

[Patsy Baloney]

I don’t know! I hope not!

It very suddenly isn’t available. I’m thinking they might not be making it anymore. 😭 why don’t they care about meeee?

[ohgillian]

Oh man! I hope your skin tolerates the alternative you ordered.

[lemoncupcake]

Have you tried Who Gives a Crap? We started ordering from there and really like it so far! It's definitely not bleached.

I've heard whispers

OP can you get online?

That was on my list, but I went with naturolly this time - it looked more tan in the pictures, lol.

White TP is the scariest thing I can think of.

We just rewatched the original vacation movie. That has blue TP. My H thought that was horrifying. Apparently he’s never seen that. We had that or pink sometimes growing up.

Yes, colorful toilet paper would surely kill me, lol

No, Seventh Generation, but in general unbleached toilet paper is just, like, not anywhere in store or online.

Covid!!! *shakes fist*

[mysteriouswife]

Supply chain professional here...

It is a supply issue again. We will continue to see ups and downs for a long time. Manufacturing cannot get supplies to make product. Machine parts are a huge issue. If something breaks then it can be weeks/months for the part to get in. Same for cars. Lack of employees be it shortages or covid is another problem. The whole world is experiencing this. I noticed shelves of trash bags are low too.

I am work 12+ hours a day to get shit moving. It’s starting to feel hopeless.

This seems expensive, but I don’t know the normal price

mysteriouswife I’m not saying I blame you, but…

I’m so sorry that stuff is wild and you’re working so hard. I hope you’ll see the light at the end of the tunnel sooner rather than later.

ETA: I saw that Amazon posting but was worried about “in stock soon”. Soon in toilet paper can be a dangerous game, lol

[WOT?*]

Yup. I was at the store yesterday and there was a sign "limit 3 per customer of toilet paper and paper towels." I generally get paper towels at Costco and last time I checked they were fine so I didn't get any. I'd just purchased TP not long ago and had one of those "equals 96 rolls of TP" that we just opened so I felt safe. Not feeling so safe now. I might have to grab another 96 and start hoarding just in case.

[Bad Dingo]

Pink toilet paper?! I can smell talcum powder and rose shaped soap just thinking about it.

I'm sorry about your flaps situation, baloney. You should probably just switch to family cloth in preparation for end times.

[dontlook]

I heard on the radio that people are finally running out from when they hoarded at the beginning on the pandemic and now they are starting to stock up again. I have no idea if this is true or why people need so much TP. I hope you find what you need.

I have one at home, but I still need to take my show on the road!

[wildrice]

7th generation was all I could find in April 2020 and I was not a fan.

I buy Charmin at Costco and I now feel justified that I bought a second pack a few weeks ago. I worry that fear of running out of paper products is going to be my version of my grandparents hiding money throughout the house and reusing lunchmeat containers to wrap gifts.

Fellow supply chain person here, concur. I work for a major North American retailer, and we are seeing staffing (shortage and covid), transportation capacity & supply issues.

I know you weren’t. It’s just a hard time for every industry

[basilosaurus]

Would marine/RV TP be an acceptable alternative? It's less treated generally, although I don't know about if it's bleached. Camping and boating stores would carry it.

[winnies]

Patsy Baloney,
Lurker here with similarly sensitive bits. I also had to use 7th Generation unbleached, but had to branch out when it was unavailable on Amazon when covid first started. I can't recommend Reel toilet paper enough! It is so much softer than 7th Gen. It's unbleached bamboo. They're having a 30% off sale this weekend for Labor Day. Seriously, get yourself a box. Or two.

[Leeham Rimes]

I second “who gives a crap” I love toilet paper delivery. If you were in Orlando I’d give you my extra box of cloud paper, which is also bamboo but I just prefer WGAC.

[arehopsveggies]

This post is stressing me out because I need unbleached and use seventh generation also

[winelady]

Grove.com  has the 7th generation in stock as of now.
