“#Toilet paper sales reportedly fall below pre-pandemic levels<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Americans are still working through the stockpiles of toilet paper they began hoarding at the onset of the pandemic \u2014 and now sales are tanking, a new report says.<\/p>\n

Toilet paper sales in January were 4.3 percent lower than the same month last year, before the onset of COVID-19 spurred consumers to amass rolls by the dozen, according to the Wall Street Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That was followed by a 14 percent year-over-year slide in February and a 33 percent plunge in March, reflecting the explosion of panic buying that swept the nation last spring, the paper reported Wednesday, citing data from NielsenIQ.<\/p>\n

While Americans are largely still working and studying from home like they were a year ago, some now app<\/a>ear to have excess supplies of toilet paper that they\u2019re waiting to burn through before getting more, according to the report.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey just kept amassing,\u201d Marjorie Greenburgh of New Rochelle, New York, told the Journal, noting that she has 54 rolls stashed around her house.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not planning on buying for a while,\u201d she reportedly said.<\/p>\n

Things have also changed for manufacturers \u2014\u00a0papermaking mills are now operating at 90 to 95 percent capacity after running at 100 percent for most of last year, the Journal reports.<\/p>\n

But consumers are reportedly continuing to buy up other sanitizing staples. Paper towel sales jumped 10 percent from a year before in January and household cleaner sales were up 75 percent, the report says.<\/p>\n

Unlike hand sanitizer makers, toilet paper producers couldn\u2019t easily expand capacity during the pandemic-fueled demand surge because doing so is expensive and time-consuming, the Journal reported.<\/p>\n

The rolls used in public bathrooms \u2014 which mostly emptied out amid the pandemic \u2014 didn\u2019t shore up supplies in stores as they\u2019re made in different plants and move through a different supply chain, according to the paper.<\/p>\n

\u201cTissue is just one of those things that has really demonstrated the impact of the pandemic more than others,\u201d Fastmarkets RISI analyst Jonathan Rager told the Journal.<\/p>\n
