Rolls of toilet paper used per person per year.- Global statistics

The data we’ve all been waiting for. Rolls of toilet paper used per person per year. How come US Americans use so much more than Australians? Is it the obesity thing? Just a cultural preference? Is there a data issue with toilet paper weight? Source: https://t.co/bkAdXJe9mE pic.twitter.com/cVSs5NiXXi

— Simon Kuestenmacher (@simongerman600) April 14, 2020

There is a relation between the prevalence of bidet usage and the consumption of toilet paper - this comes to my mind when I look to this statistics . Bidets and bidet showers are popular in South Europe and some Latin American countries - but are not widespread in North America and Europe's Northern areas .
