German here. What I understand is that we Germans use the folding technique instead of crumbling the paper. And we love our sweet 4 layered paper so everything is super soft down there.
I can say growing up the first years of my life in the GDR with literal recycled paper as toilet paper, that I wouldn’t go back to that.
But I see especially with kids etc that we overuse toilet paper. But I can only speak for my family. Toilet paper usage etc isn’t a dinner conversation topic.
- morsch 23d agoI just spent fifteen minutes to corroborate the numbers for Germany, and they appear to be a vague guess by Statista. There don't appear to be any reliable stats or studies, which I find surprising; the few studies I could find had people use way less tp, eg https://www.radiohamburg.de/aktuelles/hamburg/Wie-scht-Hamburg-Gro%C3%9Fe-Studie-von-HAMBURG-WASSER-id727834.html https://www.radiohamburg.de/aktuelles/hamburg/Wie-scht-Hambu... So I'm inclined to believe the 134 is hogwash; no idea if the numbers for the US are more reliable.
