flush at one time without problems, if your house is 100 years old. Does it get clogged often?
Most people didn't answer the question in my previous post. I'm adding a poll.

I wonder how pple qualify for the poll. I don't use Charmin. I don't live a 100 year old house. And I don't count my squares of toilet paper.

If people didn't answer your question, there's probably a good reason for it: it's a bizarre question. Very few people count how many squares of TP they use at a time, and if they did, I'd suspect them of being OCD or something. I should think it would vary with the load, IYKWIM.

I generally flush 4 pieces of TP at a time, up to about 10. But I use single ply.
My kids, who are not reliable about limiting their TP usage, have been taught to throw their TP in the trash, because this 120+ year old house has plumbing issues regardless.
On Shabbos, when we use 2-ply tissues, the toilet will occasionally clog by the end of Shabbos. It takes hot water and patience to fix it, a standard plunger won't do the job.

What is the purpose of this question?
Figure out what clogs your toilets and change it.
Is it the amount?
The brand?
That people dont flush fully? Maybe you need an extra flush between uses?
I dont use charmin brand (too expensive) and dont live in such a house. But I dont use Kleenex or the wipes either because they dont flush as per a plumber. We cut before Shabbos each week.

Just Use a different brand! Charmin is known for not being great for plumbing. Some other brands break apart easier in water. And tell the kids to flush a second time.
I dont want to be counting it or demanding people only use X amount. That is just ridiculous to ask. I want to use how many I need at a given point and not worry. Do you really want to police your family and guests about how much they can use?!?

I don't want to police, but I'm not redoing all the pipes now.

It’s generally the toilet not the pipes. Get yourself a low end Toto brand toilet and you will probably see the difference.

I use Angel Soft and my house is over 90 years old. I’ve never had problems or needed to limit amounts.

Try a brand that says septic safe in tiny letters on the back. Those break up really quickly before they have time to accumulate and clog the pipes. We have sensitive plumbing and can't use tissues ever int he toilet:(
