AIBU?

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

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.

Thought about this thread this morning when doing the business. I thought I used 2 or 3 sheets for a wee. I can officially verify from this morning, that it is exactly 3 folded roughly along the creases then all folded in half again - so a 6 sheet thickness for the price of 3!

I thought I used loads for a longer job but at three sheets a go' and about 10 to 12 wipes, i'm still well under your 50 sheets for a wee. I'm Envy at the 2 wipe per poo brigade. Your digestive system must be better than mine.

surely if you use loads of sheets there's a point where it get's like trying to paint coving with a standard paint roller?

How do blind people know when they have finished wiping?

For all your rear end cleansing needs :)
Mine has adjustable temp and jet control.

And it has a dryer so your undercarriage gets wafted dry so technically you would never need loo roll again....

I always use 2 sheets for a wee and 4 for a poo. Always folded, never deviate from this.

I had an unfortunate incident with a bumhose on holiday. I thought I could use it to clean out my mooncup. It was a pretty forceful waterjet and sent period splattering all up the walls and even on the ceiling.
