Scrunch. Can't be faffed with folding. Quick scrunch and wipe, done.

Fold for poo, sometimes either for wee. I have a nearly 2 year old so in an ideal world I’d fold but sometimes there just isn’t time

Fold I don't feel like with a scrunch you're getting as much coverage 🤣.

Scrunch!

megosaurusrex · 22/10/2022 21:23

I don't really think about it, so I suspect I scrunch

enjoyingscience · 22/10/2022 21:25

Scrunch! I don’t think folding would work so well.

Fold

fold

wrap (around my hand, remove from hand) & fold in half.

scrunching seems so... inefficient & messy

Scrunch

Scrunch like a little pom pom, like one of these things you use in the shower

Scrunch. The wrinkles help get a cleaner finish 😬

Fold.

Until I read this thread, I had no idea that scrunching was a thing.

Same. Don’t get how it works or why you’d do it

Munchyseeds2 · 22/10/2022 21:40

Fold, can't imagine how anything else would work!

FairlyIncognito · 22/10/2022 21:41

i agree with the poster who thinks scrunch gives a cleaner finish. I nearly always scrunch

This really made me laugh as there are diagrams and everything.

Asparagoose · 22/10/2022 21:45

A scrunched piece of paper is thicker than a folded piece of paper. Stands to reason you should scrunch. Folding makes the paper too thin and your fingers go through it!

blacksax · 22/10/2022 21:45

I hang it on the wall.

SunshineAndFizz · 22/10/2022 21:45

Good god. Scrunch?! How can you live like this.

Fold all the way.

Rainbowcat99 · 22/10/2022 21:46

Scrunching definitely gets you cleaner, the textured surface is more efficient.
