So I’m, um, on the pot and I’m reaching for the TP, and I tear off a few squares and I start to think, maybe I’m using too much. Could I maybe cut each wad down by one square? Man! I’d save like 25% of the TP I use! I’d be saving a whopping $1.39 a MONTH!!! Woo hoo! Then I think, I could cut it down by one more square. But then I decide otherwise, knowing that’s not going to be enough. And I begin to wonder. Is one square enough for ANYBODY to use for each swipe? Who uses just one square? Why did they make the squares so small anyway?
So the question(s) for the group…
How many squares of toilet paper do you use for each swipe?
Do any of you use just one square at a time?
How many squares, or even wads, does it take to get the job done?
And those who use just a few squares, TOTAL… come on, does it really get the job done? What color is your underwear before it goes into the washer? Be honest. We’re all anonymous here. I find I have to use at least like 20 squares per visit. I don’t stop wiping until the paper is clean. Needless to say, my undies are brilliant… well… not white, but blue, red, grey, striped, etc. But they sure don’t have any ummm spots.
You’d have to be some kind of oragami master to only have to use one square.
Wipe, fold in half, wipe, fold in half, eventually you’ll get it reduced to a tiny piece you are wiggling with your pinky finger. That’s the only way you could do it.

I go through a lot of toilet paper. I’ll use a ton of the stuff after I’m done, and if I’m home and haven’t already, jump in the shower right afterwards and hose myself down just to be on the safe side. (not to say I take a shower EVERY time I take a dump, but if I haven’t already it’s convenient). Likewise, I’ll go BEFORE I take a shower if I can. I’m not particularly hairy, but I’ll be damned if one of the few hirsute areas is down there :mad: which makes cleaning a hassle and a literally hair-pulling experience :eek:
Tear the hole by folding the square in quarters and tearing the tip of the “center” corner. Don’t discard the little circle you tore away – after step 4, use the small circle for cleaning the shit from under your fingernail.
