To ask how on EARTH you wipe with such a small number of sheets of loo roll?

[AmyFarrahFowlerCooper]

I see this every so often on here (the SIL thread is the one I'm thinking of atm) where people use 8 sheets of loo roll for a wee. How?! How does that work? Do you just wipe once with all 8 squares or use a sheet for a 8 little wipes? Don't you get wee on your hands?

This is a genuine question because I use a million rolls a week and I'm dumbfounded every time I see a post about a family of four using a quarter of what I use for a week.

Just incase you've got an usually large/oddly positioned urethra. You could be a medical marvel

[dontyouwantmebaby]

don't worry Amy.

who counts the sheets?

never thought much about it before but I reckon I'm a scruncher, always get accused of using up the loo roll too quickly! Never scrimp on quality or quantity .

[IPreferCats]

I just weed and used 12 sheets. I'm a scruncher not a folder.

[ThoughtsPlease]

I too use a fair bit of loo roll even for a wee, not sure how many sheets but probably unrolled to quite near the floor!

[Kithulu]

4 always 4

[AmyFarrahFowlerCooper]

You panicked me for a sec then grrr

I might try experimenting with my number of squares hmm.

[ItsAllGoingToBeFine]

Op - have you removed all your fanjo hair?

[snozzlemaid]

Think I've got the answer now why I use so much...
I do have large labia

[DoingStuffForHarriet]

For a wee, 2 sheets. Folded very neatly and precisely. Never ever scrunched.
A poo is another matter entirely.

[Tortoise]

12 sheets for a wee?

[PuppyMonkey]

I have never counted the sheets but I can't recall ever getting wee on my fingers. However if I did, there's this amazing thing in our bathroom called a sink, which we combine with a product known as soap and simply wash hands afterwards. HTH.

[pixwix]

Just shake your lettuce? and afterwards blot with 2 sheets - then wash hands?

[AvonCallingBarksdale]

8, nay, 12 sheets for a wee?! 2 here, folded up. How could you need more

[Hassled]

2 or 3 for a wee seems more than adequate.

As many as it takes for a poo. I think we're a fairly economical-with-our-bog-roll family, which sort of compensates for our poor switching-off-lights regime.

How the other half live!

[Alisvolatpropiis]

8 sheets?!

I've never actually counted but I'm 99.9% sure I don't use that many.

[RiffyWammal]

OP, have you tried looking at your front bottom with a mirror? If so, does it look like there's a teeny pee hole there? Or does it resemble the rose on the end of a watering can?

8 sheets for a wee ??

I am a folder AND a scruncher.

Two sheets, folded over so 4 sheets thick for a wee.
This is always more than enough. After all, the wee comes out of the urethra straight into the toilet bowl. Not sure how much there is to wipe?
And never wee on my hands.

Six sheets, scrunched up, for a poo.
Repeat with another six sheets for a hard-to-wipe one.
So between 6 and 12 sheets for a poo.

Then wash hands with soap and water.

[schooldidi]

1. Folded along the perforations. Always. Why would anyone use more than that?

[Purple2012]

I scrunch. If im at home all day I probably go through at least one whole roll of paper, probably closer to 1 and a half. But then I wee around 40 times a day so im boundto uuse loads.

[AmyFarrahFowlerCooper]

Shake my lettuce? Watering can?

I think I'm coming to the conclusion that its a combo of giant fanjo and (ahem) being slightly natural down there

Can I ask? The people who use this tiny sizes of loo roll for poos, do you just wipe once?!

[omri]

2 sheets for wee and 3 maybe max 4 sheets for poo. Anything more i would just feel so guilty for wasting!!!

[BehindLockNumberNine]

I am natural down there. Still don't manage to get wee on it though!!

[Tizwozliz]

I find that hair removal increases toilet paper usage.
