How to Ensure You Have Enough Toilet Paper at Your Event
Picture this: you’re at an event, and you step into the restroom only to find… no toilet paper. That moment of panic, the beads of sweat forming on your brow, and the desperate search for a solution—it’s an experience you don’t want your guests to have. Planning for adequate toilet paper supply is essential for any successful event. At Fancy Flush, we understand the intricacies of event preparation, so here’s a guide on how to calculate how much toilet paper you need for your next event:
Key Factors to Consider
1. Number of Guests: The more guests you expect, the more toilet paper you’ll need. A busy event with hundreds of attendees will require a much larger supply compared to an intimate gathering.
2. Length of the Event: A longer event means more frequent use of the facilities and, consequently, more toilet paper. If your event spans several hours or even a full day, plan accordingly.
3. Type of Event: Events where food and drinks are served, especially in warm weather, will likely see an increase in bathroom visits. So, whether it’s a wedding, concert, or corporate event, adjust your calculations to match the event type.
Single-Ply vs. Two-Ply: Choosing the Right Type
Single-Ply Toilet Paper is less absorbent but more budget-friendly, containing around 500 sheets per roll.
Two-Ply Toilet Paper is more absorbent, though it comes at a higher price, with 250-350 sheets per roll.
On average, a person uses 8-9 sheets per visit and approximately 57 sheets per day.
Toilet Paper Calculator for Planning
Here’s a simplified table for estimating the number of rolls you’ll need, based on standard 1-ply rolls:
Hours | 50 Guests | 100 Guests | 500 Guests | 1,000 Guests | 2,000 Guests | 3,000 Guests | 4,000 Guests | 5,000 Guests | 6,000 Guests | 7,000 Guests | 8,000 Guests | 9,000 Guests | 10,000 Guests |

Pro Tips for Event Success
For larger events, we recommend:
- Hiring serviced portable toilets with trained staff to keep the facilities clean and well-stocked.
- Planning for a buffer: It’s always better to have extra toilet paper on hand than risk running out.
