# Emergency Bathroom Supplies Save Lives and Underwear With the Emergency Toilet Roll By Michael Hines | Published 2010-04-28 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emergency-toilet-roll References: [uniquedaily](http://www.uniquedaily.com/emergency-toilet-roll/) & [spinninghat](http://www.spinninghat.com/product/emergency-toilet-roll) The Emergency Toilet Roll is the perfect [bathroom accessory](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/throne-one). This box is laughable and life-saving at the same time. We've all been in that terrible situation before. Your back is up against the wall, your [pants are around your ankles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sparepair-underwear), and the [toilet paper roll](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bampoo-premium-toilet-paper) is empty. The Emergency Toilet Roll is the remedy to this terrible situation. Instead of sheepishly calling for help, you can brazenly break the glass and save your own skin. I'd rather punch through glass than ask for help any day. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/humor) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Emergency Bathroom Supplies:** The Emergency Toilet Roll is a unique example of how a basic need can be addressed in a brand new way and presented as a humoristic and disruptive alternative - **Emergency Products Design:** Designers are now creating solutions that are efficient, multi-purpose and can be used during emergency situations.
