===Sheet size=== The format of individual sheets of toilet paper, which is given by a [[Perforation|perforation line]], varies nationally. In Germany, Holland, France, Poland, Switzerland, for example, about postcard size is standard (about 100 Γ 140 mm), so about [[ISO 216|DIN format]] (DIN A6 105 Γ 148 mm). In England, the usual format is already somewhat wider, about 115 Γ 135 mm. The most extreme landscape format with 115 Γ 102 mm exists in Thailand. The most extreme portrait format (not counting toilet paper rolls without any perforation) is 100 Γ 366 mm; a promotional toilet paper from Schmidt Spiele in Germany.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Gudehus |first=Juli |author-link=Juli Gudehus |title=toilet paper β design for the arse β’ a collection |url=https://www.juligudehus.net/en/design-for-the-arse-collection |access-date=2023-04-07 |website=Juli Gudehus |language=en}}</ref> Manufactured toilet paper sheet in the United States was sized {{cvt|4.5|in|mm}} Γ {{cvt|4|in|mm}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://blog.toiletpaperworld.com/is-my-toilet-paper-shrinking/|title=Is My Toilet Paper Shrinking?|access-date=30 May 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150511213701/http://blog.toiletpaperworld.com/is-my-toilet-paper-shrinking/|archive-date=11 May 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref> Since 1999 the size of a sheet has been shrinking; [[Kimberly-Clark]] reduced the length of a sheet to {{cvt|4.1|in|mm}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.phlmetropolis.com/2011/03/the-incredible-shrinking-toilet-paper.php|title=The Incredible Shrinking Toilet Paper Roll|access-date=30 May 2015|archive-date=11 May 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150511112243/http://www.phlmetropolis.com/2011/03/the-incredible-shrinking-toilet-paper.php|url-status=dead}}</ref> [[Scott Paper Company|Scott]], in 2006, reduced the length of their product to {{cvt|3.7|in|mm}}.
