Scrunch of course.

🤣🤣🤣 can someone please take a pick of a 'scrunched' as i wrap around my hand then fold. I can't imagine what a 'scrunch' would look like

Scrunch - folding seems to run the risk of sliding and getting poo or wee on your fingers .

I don't understand people saying they wrap it around their hand?! Wtf?! Why?

caz198917 · 22/10/2022 23:03

Ahh I see, thank you @Vapeyvapevape 🤣

Vapeyvapevape · 22/10/2022 23:03

You get a better grip with it scrunched

It folds it nicely lol

Water from a jug first. Fold, wipe, fold again and wipe until I cannot wipe anymore. Super efficient in these COL times. I aim to get three folds (this only works with thick loo paper).

Fold! Heathens scrunch…

Bigyellowuber · 23/10/2022 00:58

It has to be fold. That's why paper comes with so many dotted lines. If it was scrunch the lines for tearing would be further apart surely?

Scrunch for wee, fold for poo. Obviously.

This

Scrunch.
Ive always had the impression that people who fold something they are using to wipe their arse, are probably the type of people that iron their socks and pants.

french76 · 23/10/2022 03:21

People scrunch?!?!

Fold. And two sheets flat on the water surface to stop loud plop noises. Also fart into the toilet paper to stop echoing rippers in public cubicles.

That's all my loo paper over sharing done.

FancySomeChips · 23/10/2022 03:41

Fold

Bappyhunny · 23/10/2022 04:08

Fold. 100%. Didn’t even know scrunching was a thing

AnOldCynic · 23/10/2022 04:32

Wrapping?! A dozen sheets per wipe?! WTF.

CirreltheSquirrel · 23/10/2022 05:02

Fold. I had never heard/thought of scrunching until I read this thread.

glassfully · 23/10/2022 05:15

I had no idea people scrunched. Thanks for the distraction from my insomnia...

noseybelle · 23/10/2022 05:17

The other part of this pressing question is:

Do you sit or stand to wipe?

mighteeaphroditee · 23/10/2022 06:45

THIS is the answer to that perennial question of why people who are not parents/mums read Mumsnet !!

It never ceases to amaze me what topics and life-changing tips get discussed here !

(never even thought to scrunch - I have a fun, experimental day ahead of me now ShockWink)

Perennial? Perineal in this case!

mighteeaphroditee · 23/10/2022 06:58

@OhRiRi genius !

Lampzade · 23/10/2022 07:01

I scrunch
dh folds.
Scrunching wastes toilet roll and is more likely to block the toilet

Lampzade · 23/10/2022 07:02

Ha ha @OhRiRi
