The great toilet paper GRAB is back!

[Texasgal]

Had to go to three stores today.

Is it the election? Increased COVID cases?

[MizLibby]

1. the Election

we bought extra wine and dog food.

[ret5hd]

3. Huh...what a coincidence...the Republicans are stocking up on extra...

whine and crow food (food made from crow).

[MLAA]

12. May they choke (ole nearly choke) on every bite. They earned it.

[brewens]

2. Well, all the guys with those Trump flags should be able to hold out for a little while. I can't

think of a better use. Myself, I use less that one roll a month and still have most of the Costco pack I bought in March.

4. It's Halloween nt

[zackymilly]

17. Yep! That's what the store clerk told me. People bought it up to TP trees.

Times have changed! What a waste of toilet paper!

5. The bidets I bought earlier this year are still working like they are supposed to

Here's apost i made at the beginning of March:

"Thanks to COVID-19, I now have a couple of bidets in the home
I've been afflicted with chronic diarrhea for 2 1/2 years now and after extensive tests and several colonoscopies, the specialists I've been talking to have ruled out that the cause is anything serious and I've been diagnosed with the catch-all IBS. OTC anti-diarrhea medication helps and I've long adjusted to life with it.

Given the nature of my problem, I've long considered getting a bidet to help clean things up but it's always been low on my priority list. That is until I've been reading on the panic buying of TP in regions of the country. That hasn't happened in the area where I live and supplies are ample as far as I can tell but given that TP is one of those items that is very nice to have on hand. Not having it can really have an impact on one's outlook for the day. Rather then just hoping TP doesn't become scarce, I decided to order a couple of bidets for the two upstairs bathrooms.

They arrived last week and were very easy to install as I did a lot of plumbing work in my day but it looks to be an easy task for anyone with some basic skills. After I installed the first one, I turned on the water at the control while kneeling next to the toilet and the stream of water came out with such force that it hit the wall in front of the toilet 6 feet away. I wondered if I had gotten an enema machine by mistake.

After I cleaned up the water, my problem forced me to use the toilet quick and I got to try out the bidet. I'll have to say I was impressed. The water stream hit the sweet spot dead on and it took just a little bit of toilet paper to remove the very little bit of matter left and dry off my ass. Before, I had to use a fair amount of TP and then still wash my ass but now I wash my ass and use far less TP to finish and dry. I feel this is far more hygienic then what I used to do.

My wife was beside herself when I told her I had ordered a couple but she uses it now and really likes it. The bidet can clean her front and back. She feels cleaner and also uses less paper. I'm probably the only guy in the whole country that bought bidets in response to COVID-19. But this is something we'll be using daily even after the situation passes and if things get very bad, the TP on hand will last much longer and even if we run out, we can still do a very good job of cleaning our privates and behinds.

Edit: The two bidets didn't cost much. A little over $60 with tax but my cash back dollars dropped the price down to $44 with free shipping. I figure they will pay for themselves as time goes on by reducing the amount of money spent on TP."

6. Congrats, amazing what bidets can be, how handy they can truly be. I have heard of them, and

seen them in a few homes of my friends, and they've all preached about the benefits of. Nice to know about them / their use, so I appreciate it, I'll keep in the back of my mind if me or my SO ever have to get/use. Take care.

8. How does one bidet someones yard during halloween?

[kimbutgar]

13. We have had bidets for at least 10 years

We brought our first at a mall and got hooked. At Christmas one year we gave one to my husbands family members. My right wing brother in law mocked us for the present. He put it in his guest bathroom and guess what the next time we went to his house he had bidets installed in all the bathrooms in his house!

I didn’t need to buy toilet paper during the beginning of the pandemic because I brought a new 8 roll before it started.

Bidets are awesome.

[Dagstead Bumwood]

7. Damn, and just when you thought

it was safe to go back in the shitter.

[Meowmee]

9. Oh no😳

I have stocked up still from the pandemic and I am planning on a bidet so no worries yet.

[MissB]

10. Both I think

With case counts up, I think some folks are preparing to hunker down. I’m sure that goes double for Tuesday.

[WyattKansas]

11. The sky is falling and people are going to start pooping five times as much as normal.

And here we go again with hording common supplies to shut down supply chains, with Republican Free Market assholes turning their garages into a warehouse of horded supplies. Who happened to drive from store to store and town to town buying out supplies, creating shortages, just to sell their horde on the internet at jacked up prices.

The United States of America has turned into Vulture Capitalism Land to strip normal and stability into instability, chaos, and destroying others. That is the only America that Republicans want and what their policies invoke and accomplish.

16. Yes, when things are stressful, lots of people lose their shit. nt

[Kaleva]

19. It's a natural reaction in a high stress situation.

Predators who may want to eat you may be detered by the copious amounts of fecal matter and urine.

[marybourg]

21. I read it was to lighten up so that you

can run (not a pun) more easily.

[MLAA]

14. Maybe trumpets are realizing the orange bullshit is really hitting the fan 🤞

[JI7]

15. While it has been available the stores have mostly been limiting

how many you can buy in my area.

If that is still true where you are, try to show up early and you should find something.

18. I have been shopping for bleach, toilet paper and paper towels at Dollar General.

When the buying panic hit during the Spring, I ran around to every Publix and Walmart near me looking for those three items, I got lucky once at Walmart, but as that TP was running out, I started looking around again, no luck at the big stores. So I tried a Dollar General, since then I have used them for Bleach, TP and paper towels, they actually carry name brands like Clorox, Brawny and Charmin, so I didn’t give up anything in terms of quality. Since that the Spring, I have seen people in expensive vehicles shopping at the DS, my guess is they figured out that they would have better luck on some items there.

20. No paper towels in my store (Giant Food) yesterday.

Plenty of TP though.
