to assert that decent people FOLD, and if you SCRUNCH you are a shit-fingered mingstinger?

[Greensleeves]

Seriously. Don't scrunch. Eeuw.

Drama

The danger with scrunching is that I would imagine you can't feel it properly in your hand and so wiping would be hazardous.

I have checked with DP, he is a folder. And therefore, is not a shit-fingered mingstinger

I don't get the scrunching thing here either.

DH is a folder too & thinks they've made scrunching up

how CAN you scrunch HOW? surely everyone folds

Fold. At perforations.

Me too, MyCannyBairn!

I scrunch. I haven't got time to pretty up the paper I'm using to wipe my arse with!

I scrunch, folding is just weird

SCRUNCH??

WTF people scrunch?

scrunch?..good luck with that..so many variables...no fold control..possible finger soil...hell no!..

However you do it you are still shit fingered. Poo germs can get though 9 layers of loo roll.

YABU for getting sucked in by a stupid ad campaign. Andrex's marketing went to hell when they replaced the real puppies with CGI ones.

Scrunching makes it thicker!

Haha at mingstinger- I didn't read it as minge-stinger but Ming-stinger... Kind of makes more sense now!

HOWEVER... scrunching has been fine for me. I don't have time to neatly fold my arse paper

I find you get a better grip on scrunched paper than folded, and you'd have to fold a fair few sheets in order for wee not to soak through to your fingers, no?

I hate this ad campaign. I wipe my arse. Not sure if i am a scruncher or folder. I suppose if i am notin a hurry imaybe fold...

I read a looong thread on another forum once with people arguing over people who stood to wipe and those who remained seated. I think the seated won out on the basis standing is going to squish any potential shite remnants between your cheeks like a child's butterfly painting.

I think my point is if you're a standing scruncher, you probably have a skid wash as well as your whites

I truly had not imagined that people scrunched, until I saw that advert. Then asked around. And they do.

Agree that you risk bursting though thin bits if you scrunch. And surely, you might get poked by a pointy corner, exactly where you'd rather not.

I must say, this knew understanding of the scruncherati has not made me either want to buy more loo roll, or switch to Andrex. It just makes me understand now why communal peanuts are so contaminated. And forswear to avoid them.

knew new

Scrunching only really works with cheap thin toilet paper.

I couldn't believe that peopled scrunched either! They must have permanently pooey fingernails.

Personally I use a cotton bud, an electric toothbrush and a Waterpik, followed by a final polish with a microfibre cloth.

i fold (and it HAS to be along the perforations!). my dh scrunches weirdo

matches our personalities perfectly i think especially as im ocd

I'm a folder but dd informs me she's a scruncher.

I don't know where she gets it from and am now fretting I've brought her up wrong.

"Don't have time to fold"? It takes maybe five seconds. Unless you're a champion speed-peeist you have nothing better to do.

Neatly along the perforations. You have been warned.
