1000 sheets 1000 sheets per roll means Scott 1000 Toilet Paper helps you spend time on what matters most with fewer roll changes and more value.

One person will go through a regular roll of 150 sheets in about 4.3 days. And if you've ever wondered how much toilet paper you use in a year, the answer is probably somewhere in the ballpark of 85 rolls! What about when you've got a few people in your household?

So a standard piece of paper can indeed only be folded seven times. However, if we had an 8.5 x 11 in. sheet of paper that was a quarter as thick as normal, using this equation, we could fold it nine times. If you take a roll of toilet paper and roll it out into one long line you can fold it even more.

The Chronicle can report that the gold standard of a toilet paper arsenal -- a 30-roll pack of 415-sheet extra-long rolls from Costco -- will last the average two-member household not for 81 days but for 209 days, according to the revised calculation.

If you find you are going through toilet paper in your home too fast, chances are you are using way more than necessary during your bathroom time. Avoid using too much toilet paper and save money and avert potential plumbing issues.

If you fold a piece of paper 1mm thick 1000 times, the thickness of the paper would increase exponentially. By the 1000th fold, the paper would be approximately as thick as the distance from the Earth to the Sun, which is about 93 million miles or 150 million kilometers.

If we fold a piece of paper 42 times, its thickness will actually be equal to the distance between the Earth and the Moon.

So, if we're using the toilet 5 times per day and using an average of 7 sheets per wipe, then one person uses about 35 sheets per day. One person will go through a regular roll of 150 sheets in about 4.3 days.

On average, a person uses eight to nine sheets of toilet paper every time they go to the loo. Assuming between 4 and 10 visits each day, we each use an average of 56 sheets a day. Multiplied across the year, this adds up to nearly 21,000 sheets!

Make sure everyone in your household understands they should always fold the toilet tissue when they use it. Many people tend to wad it up, but this provides less surface area and requires more paper. By folding, you are given more surface area for actual use and you will be able to get by without using so much.

Trying to fold an ordinary sheet of A4 paper suggests that even eight times is impossible: the number of layers doubles each time, and the paper rapidly gets too thick and too small to fold. Such 'geometric growth' effects are dramatic: in theory, 26 folds would make the paper thicker than the height of Mount Everest.
