TinaYouFatLard I do exactly the same 🙂

Scrunch.
I tried folding once but it seemed very slidey.

I wrap! I wrap it around my hand several times then wipe.

Scrunch. My bastard ex once tried to 'teach' me to fold instead so every now and then I remember and do an extra big scrunch

Fold.

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

Me too. I'm going to try a scrunch tomorrow morning if i remember.

Until I read this thread, i had no idea so many people (including me) would find it interesting enough to reply to.

Honestly, would anyone want to know this? Bloody weird question.

Clingfilm · 22/10/2022 21:58

Folding for a wee just leaves you with a pissy hand though? Unless you use about 7 sheets, I'm not a millionaire!

That's because we're a bloody weird bunch of people!

In the interest of science I have just tried both. I'm a natural folder. One loop around the hand, slip off and wipe the neatly folded piece along (5sheets). The same amount scrunched creates a tiny ball- no where near enough to fully attend to a lady post wee. So scrunching would double my use and half my comfort (a smooth folded wipe is soft and comfortable- a scrunched ball loses its soft nature)

Yes this, I just can’t picture how you wouldn’t get a wet hand when folding. Intrigued about folding technique now!

Bonjovispjs · 22/10/2022 22:02

Scrunch, why wouldn't you? It's much more efficient.

DoubleBuggyDriver · 22/10/2022 22:04

Who has time to fold?? Scrunch all the way

norwichmummy123 · 22/10/2022 22:05

Why??????????

HouseWithAView · 22/10/2022 22:06

Wrap. I use about a dozen sheets per wipe.

LesOliviers · 22/10/2022 22:09

I scrunch for a wee and fold for a poo.

Agreed. I'm convinced scrunching is more efficient.

Scrunch for wee, fold for poo. Obviously.

YES

LunaLoveFood · 22/10/2022 22:18

Fold

Blowyourowntrumpet · 22/10/2022 22:27

Definitely scrunch. DP folds and the paper doesn't flush as well as scrunched paper

LibertyLily · 22/10/2022 22:31

Fold...always. Never heard of scrunching till this thread.

NoShitHemlock · 22/10/2022 22:32

I fold - I literally cannot understand the physics behind scrunching! DD16 creates a MASSIVE boxing glove of bog roll. I should have shares in Andrex fs.

Lunificent · 22/10/2022 22:35

I’m 52 and it’s never occurred to me to fold in all these years.I didn’t even know it was a thing. Wouldn’t it all soak through?

readyforliftoff · 22/10/2022 22:35

Scrunch! Of course.

uncomfortablydumb53 · 22/10/2022 22:39

Fold

Rupertgrintismyguiltypleasure · 22/10/2022 22:42

Defo fold
