[brianmanahan]

which is 50% more than the average of Western countries or Japan.

I like that "Feces" is the first link in the See Also section there.

This is one area where environmentalists can go fuck themselves. Water running while brushing teeth? Light bulbs on when not in use? Fine, bitch about it, but if I feel that I have fecal material to remove from my ass, I don't need you to tell me otherwise. Fucking hippies.

We use the seventh generation stuff at my apartment. It works nicely even though it is very thin.

Sorry but I'll never let some water shoot up my butt to clean it. Environmentalists are used to getting things sprayed up their butts so of course they won't mind.

So you're one of those people that advocate electronic toilet paper dispensers in public facilities as well? DIAF.

I'm pretty capable of wiping my ass without using much toilet paper. Not my problem

Come to think of it, how much does one square weigh? Because I probably use ~2 when I have a good day, ~40 on a not so good day. Is that a lot by your standard?

don't switch over to triple ply yet. as i've stated to you before, the only way that you ever get any ass is when your finger breaks through the toilet paper

Huh??? Where the hell did this come from? What's your deal? Are you like alkemyst in that the only attention you can get is by randomly making personal attacks to other posters???

 

[SparkyJJO]

Because we all know that wikipedia is the ultimate authority on any subject.

Obviously you are because you've randomly personally attacked two people in this thread for no reason because otherwise no one pays attention to you.

What the hell is seventh generation toilet paper? People keep track of toilet paper generations?? :hmm::hmm:

Using paper for cleaning up back there is a bit weird though.

Do you take a shower, or do you just go into the bathtub with a roll of paper towels and call it good? This particular region gets a good bit nastier than just sweat and skin oil, and yet dry paper is considered by many to be a perfectly acceptable solution.

Well it's nice to know that Americans have such clean backsides.

But that statistic doesn't sound right. I mean, just how much is 50 pounds of toilet paper? Another article, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toilet_paper_in_the_United_States , states that Americans use an average of 23.6 rolls per year. I don't recall a 24 pack weighing that much....

EDIT: Oh wait. The "writer" couldn't read. The environmentalist article that lacks sources stated that Americans use 50 lbs of TISSUE products a year. Not toilet paper. Hooray for wikipedia.

I saw this video suggesting that we're not pooping the right way, and that if we were pooping the right way, we'd use much less TP.

Also, this is something that should be broken down between genders. I could probably ration out a single roll for a couple months. Women on the other hand tend to use multiple rolls per week.

 

[LegendKiller]

Doesn't help when most women decide to mummify their hands with TP, like you really need to wrap your whole hand, do you wipe with the top, bottom and sides? Must be pretty interesting to watch.

That or they ball up 30 sheets.

Why?

That's a lot of shit tickets.

Personally, I think the bigger travesty is disposable diapers. We use cloth diapers (which aren't like the old school cloth ones), it's cheaper, better for the baby and better for the environment.

Wait, what? How do you know this?

Have you dated more than one woman? It's not hard to figure out once they go through rolls and rolls and rolls and you finally ask them why the fuck they use 10x as much as you do.

We have Fuzzy Bunz and Bum Genius, not sure which one we like the best yet.

Most people think "CLOTH, WTF?" but they don't realize what the tech is like now. It's pretty dang easy. My #1 fear was my clothes smelling like baby shit at work, no issues there.
