She first developed the bizarre snacking habit while she was expecting her youngest son Jaxon.
Jade, of Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, said: "Two months into the pregnancy, I started craving toilet roll. I still don't know why".
"I like the feeling of the texture in my mouth, rather than the taste. I like the dryness".
"My family tell me it isn't very good for me but I can't help it"
Despite giving birth to her son more than 15 months ago, Jade still cannot tear herself away from the paper snack whenever nature calls.
The full-time mum waits until she needs to go to the toilet and while there will eat a few sheets of toilet tissue in private. She chews and swallows one roll a day.
"While I was pregnant I went to the loo and looked at the toilet roll and thought 'I have to eat that' - I know it sounds silly.
"Today I try and hold off going to the bathroom because I know if I go I will eat the paper.
"I usually eat around eight pieces per visit - sometimes I go to the bathroom just to get some toilet roll.
"It does fill me up quite a bit. At first I used to eat a couple of squares at a time, but I keep eating more and more."
