When you wipe...

[state 08]

Had a debate with friends yesterday.

Majority wadded, but just wanna get a better demographic poll here


Personally, I wad. Main reasons:

1. Fast
2. I want the maximum distance between my hand and my ass
3. I don't have to worry about my finger breaking through the TP and going up my ass if I apply to much force. (which is needed sometimes for the dirtier ones)






No threads regarding bodily fluids, solids or bodily functions.
What are you guys a bunch of philistines???

More women are wadders. More men are folders.

fold.

use less TP, lower risk of toilet clogs, and I'm not a sissy.

3 seashells ftw

for those who fold, how many times do you fold?

 

[Alone]

Fold.

3-4 sheets, fold in half.

even using 1ply, I can't say I've ever "broken through." are you guys wiping like you're sanding down a piece of wood or something?

 

[xanis]

I wad, for the same reasons as the OP.

 

[Eli]

Fold.

 

[UnatcoAgent]

[Tooncesthedrivingcat]

I think it's just an excuse to hide their self-exploratory feelings.

Origami.

Usually wad. Sometimes fold.

Still waiting on a house nice enought to install a bidet.

For what its worth, I generally prefer the industrial stuff to that fancy soft junk with the flowers and butterfly's.

Usually fold. I only wad when I'm faced with that super-thin 1-ply stuff that doesn't absorb anything.

That just means there should be more folding. If only I could get 8-ply toilet paper, I'd never have to fold.

Wad, more rough edges to clean with. Plus TP isn't nearly expensive enough to worry about saving.

 

[Legendary]

i converted from wad to fold a few months ago, never went back

 

[Tooncesthedrivingcat]

Am I the only one who uses flushable wipes?

I used em in Iraq.

 

[DayLaPaul]

Hah he called him a barbarian.

 

[MovingTarget]

Fold. Wadding can be messy when the tp finally leaves your arse. I'd rather have some control. Besides, it uses less and won't clog as easily.

Also, another TMI note, I find it ironic that I come across this thread while posting from the can.

Laptops FTMFW!

 

[Muse]

Hah! None of you know how to wipe your ass. :laugh:

WTF is a flushable wipe? Like the baby diaper wipes? That's nasty.

I fold the TP by thirds.

Folding once in half is too thin. Folding twice into 4ths is thick enough, but you have to pull out a longer length to make it worthwhile.

Doing a tri-fold (like the way you fold paper for putting into an envelope) is a good compromise between thickness and TP usage.
