Poll: How much toilet paper do you use?

[Wangel]

My wife was in the bathroom the other day and asked me to get her a new roll of toilet paper. She asked me to tear her off 3 sheets. I asked her if 3 sheets was enough and she said yes. Three sheets! Sure it is double ply, but 3 sheets? Doesn't sound safe and hygenic. Not that I'm messy, but I usually grab the end and give a hard pull. Three or 4 feet is about average.

This is something they don't teach you in school.

3 sheets?! Are you kidding me? Hmm, I haven't counted but I think I use at least 8 each time. Ewww! why am I sharing this?

Girls must wipe after tinkeling... 3 sheets is probably sufficient for such a task.

This will probably be locked, but....

I use lengths of about 2 feet until I'm clean.

Toilet paper? What toilet paper?

 

[Viper GTS]

4 sheets.

And to make things even MORE interesting, do you fold it or wad it?

A roll a day keeps the racing stripes away.

When I was in the Air Force, we were told to use 3 sheets, no more no less. Stll do till this day.

What is it with women and TP anyway? My G/F uses a roll about every 3 days! Have to buy 24 packs. I get one, she gets the rest. Grante girls need some everytime but that much?

I hate it when you have to wipe for like 10 minutes...
that is so annoying

Russ was correct. Bathroom threads are becoming more abundant. Amazing.

The answer is: however much it takes. When you're young and make the fatal mistake of using too few sheets, um, bad things happen down there. And you want to never make that mistake again. So damn the environmentalists - use a whole roll if need be.

The reason bathroom threads are so popular is because usually one gender has no idea what the other gender is doing in there. Unless you came from a family with an open bathroom door policy. We were taught to close the bathroom door. Bathroom etiquite is not taught in school, and is rarely taught in the family. So where do we learn this? Standing next to someone at the urinal? or sitting next to someone in the next stall? Reminds me of the Austin Powers movie, from the bathroom scene from Tom Arnold: "Time for a courteous flush!"

Depends upon the tensile strength of the TP. The "good" TP may only require 8 sheets, while the tissue paper TP found in most public restrooms can often require several feet.

If we all get one of these rulers, we can all measure and be exact.

Who needs toilet paper when we have Microsoft's promotional materials everywhere ?

 

[U2fan]

Usually about 5-7 sheets.

I know someone who says they only use one.

Up here at school we have very very thin paper so I use about 5-10 folded up but at home or with good paper I use 1 sheet for 1 wipe or 2 sheets and get 2 wipes or 3 sheets and get 2 or 3 wipes. But that's only with good paper. I used to use toilet paper like a mad man. Folding though makes it take much less. I'm pretty sure I've gotten 2 wipes with 1 sheet but those are rare instances.

By the way I think having to use the bathroom is the worst part about being human.

 

[uncouth]

I don't have a square to spare!

 

[ArkAoss]

ya gotta use enough, ya know till ya feel clean. my mom says in the air force they said 5 or 4.

1 sheet. Wipe with your finger then use the sheet to clean the finger

 

[geno]

Depends on what I ate

 

[Thorn]

About 1 foot per "movement". Unless it's particularly... ummm... hazardous.


Ok, here's a question. Are you an outside the leg, or inside the leg wiper?

I'm an outside.


I would ask if you look at the paper between wipes and when you're done... but I figured that was too far over the line.

<< I'm pretty sure I've gotten 2 wipes with 1 sheet but those are rare instances. >>



Wow, 2 full wipes with just one sheet? Make sure you wash your hands real good!

NOTE: Nothing worse than getting intimate with a woman and finding shreds of toilet paper. Reminds me of that movie Kingpin. :frown:

2 feet...
