Americans use an average of 433 million miles of toilet paper each year, enough to stretch to the sun and back
Toilet paper is a tissue paper product used by humans primarily for the ablution of the anus and surrounding area of fecal material after defecation and by human females for cleaning the perineal area of urine after urination and other bodily fluid releases. It also acts as a layer of protection for the hands during these processes. It is sold as a long strip of perforated paper wrapped around a paperboard core for storage in a dispenser by a toilet. Most modern toilet paper in the developed world is designed to decompose in septic tanks, whereas some other bathroom and facial tissues are not. Toilet paper comes in one-ply all the way up to six-ply, meaning that it is either a single sheet or multiple sheets placed back-to-back to make it thicker, softer, stronger and more absorbent. 433 million miles of toilet paper is used by Americans each year. Just to give you an idea of how much toilet paper we flush every 365 day cycle; 433 million miles, can take us from here, to the sun, and back again.
