Our employees continue to make and ship out inventory as
quickly as possible and production is going smoothly. While it’s hard to
give you exact timing for when product will be available at different locations,
we can assure you that we are continuing to send trucks of Angel Soft® and
Quilted Northern® toilet paper, Brawny® and Sparkle® paper
towels, Dixie® products and Vanity Fair® napkins out to stores
nationwide around the clock. If you can’t find these items where you shop,
ask the retailer when the next shipment is due into the store. They should be
able to tell you. Also, we want to let you know that we have chosen to ship all
product directly to our retail partners for now, as this is the fastest way to
get as many packages into consumers’ hands as possible. Given our focus on
supporting our retail partners, there may be near-term delays in inventory
availability on our brand websites.
As we all work to manage through this situation, we encourage you to not
purchase more than you need. In case it’s helpful, you can use the below math
as a starting point to figure out how much TP you and your family might need in
the next month. We calculated these numbers using a combination of U.S. Census
data, IRI panel data and our own calculations.
A two-person household staying home 24/7 will typically go through about 9
Double Rolls (or 5 Mega Rolls) in two weeks.
Finally, we’ve recently received questions from consumers asking if they can
use Brawny® or Sparkle® paper towels as a toilet paper replacement.
We want to reiterate that we do not recommend using paper towels as toilet
paper, as they are not designed to be flushed.
We will continue to update you on our progress. In the meantime, if you would
like to get in touch or if you have any questions, please feel free to send
us a message to gpcrc@gapac.com. Thanks
so much for your loyalty and patience.
