to ask if you wrap loo roll round your hand before you wipe? (lighthearted)

[bringincrazyback]

I know the thread title sounds a bit mad but I'm genuinely wondering now! - after something I read on another thread - do most people wrap loo roll round their hand before they wipe??

I don't. I just tear off however much I need, fold it and wipe. It's actually come as news to me that some people wrap it round their hands. Wondering whether I've just uncovered an important social dichotomy along the lines of hanging the loo roll in front/behind here, or whether I've been a social misfit for 52 years and am only just realising this.

(Hey, don't judge, I need some frivolity after the week it's been...)

Neither, I use a shattaf, just using paper is gross. If you had poo on your hand you wouldn’t wipe it off with tissue and be on your merry way, you would use soap and water.

Fine if you have a bad diet/upset tum use paper first, but to just use paper is horrible.

A ‘shattaf’ ?? Do tell pls

YANBU!

I fold, wipe, fold, wipe and discard. I then stand and flush and hop into the shower.

I can't stand a scrunch and I can't go after I've washed.

I've known some one to have a bath and then go for a number 2 after wtf ?

A shattaf is a little shower next to the loo.

I once watched an episode of Embarrassing Bodies. An apparently normal man went on it and he was worried because he smelt of shit. Anyway, basically it transpired that he didn’t wipe his arse properly because he was a “scruncher” and that’s why. It took Dr.Christian Bicepsbloke to call this man out on national tv to tell him he was an absolute tramp.

I fold and pressed yabu by mistake - sorry

Forgot to add - to be thorough you should have also asked 'do you stand when you wipe after a poo' or wipe sitting down?

Oh goodness, I remember finding out about people who sit and wipe on here a couple of years ago ;)

stellabelle I thought you were supposed to wipe even before using a bidet. Otherwise it’s kinda yucky.

@TerribleCustomerCervix

Who RAISES these absolute eejits?

Fold, wipe
Fold, wipe
Fold, wipe
Bin
Sometimes use moist TP/wipe

I don’t know Piglet.

I later found out that he stood up to wipe as well, and I’m left wondering how the relationship lasted as long as it did.

Why would you wrap it round your hand? Surely most of it will be going to waste.

And as for using a bidet without wiping first. That's just disgusting. It's not a lavatory.

The moist loo paper was brought in as bidets went out of fashion. In the same way, you wipe with ordinary loo paper and then use the moist loo paper to finish cleaning.

The shattaf is a very good idea, but not many of those in homes in this country I imagine.

I fold.

I wrap then take it off my hand so it's like it's ready folded.
I do not understand scrunchers!

Toilet paper calculator 😂 howmuchtoiletpaper.com/

Scrunching is really wasteful.
We folders are able to use both sides of the paper. Only use half as much off the roll.

Currently googling shattaf.......who knew!!

@chipsandgin Oh goodness, I remember finding out about people who sit and wipe on here a couple of years ago

Wait, you stand and wipe? Don't you need your butt cheeks spread adequately to wipe properly?

I'm a stander, or rather a croucher and don't understand why you would wrap loo roll round your hand.

@Soapytoad I remember that episode! How humiliated would you be to have gone on national TV, have Dr Christian's finger up your bum, only to tell you that you just don't wipe your arse properly

Entire body here after watching documentaries (The Mummy, The Mummy Returns, Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy....)

Standing up, but bending knees for good access. Then 3 or 4 sheets max to fold and wipe, fold and wipe, fold again and wipe. Drop in bog. Possibly repeat with another piece if necessary. Then a baby wipe for a final thorough clean, fold it up and put in bathroom bin, hidden under something else! Thorough hand wash and open window and strike a match to take away smell. Works fine and no hideous chemical spray.

Folding with as little paper as possible. One of mine appears to get through a roll per poo, so I have no idea what she does with it. She is being rationed now

Folder here. I fold wipe discard. Then use a wipe and bin.
I really really want a water tap that Turkish toilets have.
Also a sitty downer.

Wait, you stand and wipe?
This actually blew my mind a few years back on MN when I learned some people do it this way.
It also led to me learning that my actual own DH is a standy up bum wiper too
