The two things I mentioned earlier usually only happen over a longer period of time and with the right conditions. If you keep your toilet paper in a bathroom cabinet like the majority of people, your toilet paper should last plenty long enough for you to use, even if you decide to buy the bulk package.
This is all fine and good until your sink leaks or you splash water onto your perfectly unused paper. To try and prevent this from happening, try to store your toilet paper somewhere up higher in your bathroom or not in your bathroom at all.
If you have a linen or towel closet close to your bathroom, you could store it in there. This will not only keep your toilet paper out of the reach of leaky faucets but also help free up some extra space under your bathroom sink for other more water-resistant things. If you want the container to fit under your sink, make sure you take measurements before you make a purchase. This will save you the hassle of having to go back to the store and try again. Putting toilet paper in one of these containers and storing it could easily make it last for years or possibly even decades depending on the quality of your container.
The prediction of decades is a hypothesis, as you can imagine not many people have studied the life cycle of toilet paper. But there are advanced options for taking into account more granular metrics, like the number of people in the household and number of sheets on the roll of whatever brand of toilet paper you have.

Another silver lining to the novel coronavirus pandemic is that creatives like Sassoon, who is currently self-isolating with a dwindling amount of toilet paper that his calculator estimates will last him 14 days four rolls , are finding ways to keep occupied with projects that, once shared online, can bring the public some much-needed distraction and entertainment.
More musicians are now performing live on Twitch after tours were canceled, late-night TV hosts are turning into YouTube vloggers , and US presidential candidates like Bernie Sanders are even pioneering virtual campaign rallies.

In the Netherlands, people don't have to be concerned about running out of it , the country's prime minister, Mark Rutte, said Thursday.
Rutte noted that it's already appearing on store shelves again after people were panic-buying the essential bathroom product last week. There are also alternatives to toilet paper like making your own bidet.
But whatever you do, just don't call the police if you run out of toilet paper. They can't help you. This means that you are less likely to lose your rolls to the elements if the bag is not sealed properly. And as a bonus, the third way they help is if the bag is damaged you are only losing a few rolls instead of a lot of them.
The storage area has to be dry and dark. If the rolls are well sealed but exposed to the sun through a window, then the paper will begin to break down. By the time you get to them, the paper will be too weak to use and will break apart as you wipe.
It also needs to be dry as any humidity will end up ruining the rolls also. If your package seems to be sealed well, then it may be fine, but what if the seams are not as tight where the bag was sealed?
Then air will get in and ruin the rolls. Better to put the rolls into sealable bags to keep the air and moisture out. Look, why go through all of this just to hoard toilet paper?
Go get yourself a bidet. There are electric and non electric bidet seat attachments you can use to keep your bum clean even during an emergency when it is hard to find toilet paper in the stores. And you are helping the environment as a bidet cuts down on toilet paper use so it saves resources. Less trees chopped down or, in the case of recycled toilet paper, less water and fuel used to create it. You can also go the family cloth route and wipe with some baby wash towels that you buy or make yourself.
You will never run out of them and they can be made out of old clothes or linens in a pinch. I think if you are a prepper then this is the way to go as you can save space that could go to more important items like food or water instead of TP.
There are so many reasons to not use toilet paper and the pandemic shined a light on the biggest flaw there is. Supply chains being vulnerable.
