Coles has become the first supermarket giant in Australia to remove limits on toilet paper.

The supermarket lifted limits on on loo roll and paper towels on Tuesday after weeks of panic-buying due to the coronavirus pandemic left the items in scarce supply on supermarket shelves.

'We are pleased to be able to remove purchase limits at Coles on key household staples like toilet paper and paper towel, and expect to remove further limits as customer demand continues to stabilise and more categories see supply levels return to normal,' a spokeswoman told Daily Mail Australia.

'We are grateful for the efforts of our suppliers to deliver significantly increased volumes to meet the recent unexpected surge in customer demand, and to our customers for their patience and understanding as our store and supply chain team members worked to get as much stock onto shelves as possible.'

Woolworths and Aldi are yet to announce whether they will follow suit.

Toilet paper disappeared from supermarket shelves in early March when panic-buying shoppers began hoarding the basic necessity as the coronavirus crisis worsened.

The shortage sparked countless altercations between shoppers in stores across the country.

Coles still has a two item per customer limit on 10 grocery products, which are expected to be lifted in the coming weeks.

The recent toilet paper shortage sparked angry confrontations between shoppers, such as this stoush between two women in a Coles store in March

They include pasta, flour, rice, eggs, frozen vegetables and desserts, sugar, tinned tomatoes, liquid soap and anti-bacterial wipes.

It comes after Coles chief executive Steven Cain announced last week that toilet paper supply was finally returning to normal in supermarket aisles.

'Finally, it looks like we'll soon be back to normal with toilet paper! Stock has recovered significantly and by next week we should have removed limits,' he wrote in an email to shoppers last week.
