Hunting for toilet paper? We're here to help. We're constantly monitoring stock levels – read on to find out where you can still buy toilet roll in your region.
One of the unexpected knock-on effects of this pandemic is that many areas are also grappling with a crippling toilet paper shortage. Ever since lockdown came into effect, people have been buying in such huge quantities that the toilet paper manufacturers just can't keep up. It's a similar situation with products such as hand sanitizer, face masks and Clorox wipes (and with the new research suggesting vitamin D could play a key role in fighting the virus, it may also be the case with vitamin D supplements – it might make sense to pick some up before these sell out too).
However, there is a light on the horizon – things should be back to normal (loo roll-wise) soon, so long as everyone buys responsibly. "It's up to how consumers are buying and how they start to share," Arist Mastorides, a representative for Kimberly-Clark North America. Kimberly-Clark is the umbrella company behind behind big brands such as Cottonelle and Scott.

"We are working around the clock to help get these essential products back on the shelf," Mastorides told CNBC Make It, "... our teams see those empty shelves and they are working really hard, really safely to make sure that we close the gap."
It's important we all buy responsibly. If you've still got a bit of a stash left, please avoid panic-buying every pack you come across.
Read on for a guide of the online retailers that still have stock of toilet paper available for delivery. In the UK, many big supermarkets' delivery slots are very booked up, but we've hunted down some independent and alternative online stores where you can still order toilet paper for delivery.
