Folks with vaginas, I’m conducting some family comparative analysis and I’d like to know how many standard pieces of toilet paper do you use when wiping after a pee. I posted some comments with options to upvote if you like.
Penis owner here, I used to do 1just to dab the tip cuz that’s what my dad did but learned later that nobody else does it and stopped.
I do
I dab too, there are dozens of us!
Last drop belong to undies, that’s the law
Nan fuck that I always do the dab, I don’t want my dick to be pp flavored
Its tradition around here to add a little extra hot sauce for the last dab
Three shares, folded in half, then in half again. Maybe two squares if it’s quilted.
Yeah, about the same.
I don’t know the physics behind it, or if it’s even true (could just be a placebo effect), but if you scrunch the paper there is less streaking on the clean up.
Oh this is smart, you’re getting the required thickness by folding instead of using more pieces. When using an unfolded stack of squares you could end up utilizing just a small spot while the rest remains dry.
1-3
3-5
-2?
7+
It’s stupid if you edit the amount.
Edit: this used to be 5+. So view the other amounts OP edited with this thought in mind
I edited it at the very beginning before there was any activity because I realized it’s less ambiguous to have non overlapping intervals. Started with 1-3, 3-5, 5+. Settled on 1-3, 4-6, 7+. Of course it’s stupid to change if there’s any significant voting already.
I can answer for my wife! She said three folded, when it’s our normal tp, Charmin. Two extra for other brands.
That’s all it takes with her configuration to be dry. I’ll vote on the comments, but since she gave more than a number, and it was variable, figured that might help too.
Fwiw, I make sure to give things an extra squeeze with a few pieces myself. Not a fan of late drips in my drawers. Pee, shake, paper & gentle squeeze. Then wash hands.
Cottonelle is really good, too. In my opinion, better and more absorbent, but personal preference will play a part.
Do you have a square to spare? All I need is a square
I don’t have a square to spare!
You can’t spare a square?!
Usually 2
Do some dudes use TP when they pee?
Very serious follow up: How much do you make in a year if your answer is “yes”?
Yes. One piece. Pull back Foreskin, wrap and “load”. Holds the piece in place, voids “the drop” and is removed after standing up.
Based on my pissing pattern, I would say around 600 pieces a year. So 2-3 rolls?
I favor BD’s so cleaning up the rear is really clean too. I theoretically could wear my underpants/boxers for more than a day, they don’t smell after a normal day.
Intimate Hygiene is key to avoid yeast infections or bladder inflammation for partners of the opposite sex. Don’t know about same sex relationships, but no one likes a stinky dick (no kink shaming).
Edit: Get an ass shower if you don’t have space for a BD. Game changer in well-being, albeit a little awkward when having guests who don’t care for stinky butts.
Yes, particularly as I get older the equipment doesn’t drain fully and needs a little help.
There’s a rhyme about it “no matter how much you shake and dance, the last few drops go down your pants”, well I choose to wipe instead of relying on the absorbance of my pants or trousers (the original saying is American so means trousers really).
It’s so curious I bet thers one in each language we have a similar one in Italy it says
“puoi scrollarlo dalle alpi alle ande ma l ultima goccia va sempre nelle mutande”
It means you can shake it from the Alps to the Andes but the last drop always goes into the underwear
Thank you for sharing this. I’m going to try it out on my Italian friends :)
Also in Argentina and others Spanish speaking countries we say “Como Salomón la última gota va al pantalón” it means “Like Solomon the last drop good in the pants”.
I wash like civilized human.
Do you dry yourself afterwards? If so, how?
Water dries quickly. No need to overthink.
When I shit, I bidet and use three squares.
Is anyone else infuriated by the number of ‘I don’t have a vagina BUT’ posts?
Like let me speak for the woman in my life. Let me provide my opinion. I know I wasn’t asked BUT…
Jesus just go die in a hole. Let women speak for themselves.
Personally I don’t see anything wrong with that at all. Commenting even if you don’t have a vagina is absolutely not the same as speaking for everyone that does have one. In fact I haven’t found a single comment that speaks for anyone but themselves.
If it’s absolutely critical that only people with a vagina comments, OP should probably have put the question on a gendered ask community instead of the main one.
Some people just like to engage in the conversation about something they think is interesting even if it wasn’t explicitly asked for. It’s also interesting to compare delta-TP between genders.
Telling people to die seems a bit extreme for such a non issue.
1000 people dead in Alaska because they replied to a post about wiping piss
I don’t have a vagina yet BUT…
I’d like to learn from current owners by interacting with this post.
Rawr.
When I was young with tighter labia that didn’t flap or stick to the side and had a firmer bladder, 3, every time. Now 4.
I do not have a vagina, but I have noticed that by myself 1 roll of tp will last 2-4 weeks, but when I have feminine company it becomes more like 1+ roll a week.
It’s mind boggling how you need so much more tp than us guys do, not that I blame you cos it’s different down there.
Maybe I’m more concerned that in 10,000 years of civilization no one has developed a better way. We have “spray with water” and “copious amounts of absorbent material”.
Where’s the 3 shells at, people?
Some sort of perineal drier? There’s probably bidets with something like that built-in.
Yeah, the Toto C2 or whatever micro revision it is this year. Same toilet lid, about $330 ish dollars. Lifechanging for men and women, especially once you realize it has an oscillating mode for washing.
I don’t use TP at all anymore, it’s just there for guests who feel uncomfortable.
They exist. I think primarily a Japan thing (no surprise…). I havent seen one in person, but seen them for sale or some weird bidet article about all the options you can get. Hot/cold water, his/her’s, blow dry, lights, music, multiple user pre-sets, etc. usually it’s sold as the entire toilet, not an “add-on” option.
I will say that the blow dry option doesn’t really help sufficiently after using the bidet to avoid me wanting to use TP to dry off, but it might be sufficient for lady parts after peeing. Don’t have a vagina personally, so can’t say for sure.
Also vaginaless, but I’ll throw in one square as an answer. All the jiggling in the world won’t get rid of that last drop. It’s either TP, or my undies.
I go with undies.
You gotta press that spot behind ur balls, kinda moving back to front, and it comes out. This secret arcane knowledge was lost for millenia in my lineage, no longer passed down man to man. A kind stranger on the internet shared it with me.
That’s called a taint squeeze.
I slap it against the door frame as I leave the bathroom.
It’s been a long day and I may be a little punchy, but I have tears in my eyes laughing at I write this reply.
What an image. But explains the penis level dents I see in toilet door frames sometimes.
Wow! Congrats on the door frame denter. You could probably make some money with tae kwon do style board breaking videos.
I used tooo … Now I have discovered that I can just shove it in the blow drier works better 😉
I know I’m not the target audience, but when I’m at home I rinse my stick
Same. Just hold it against the inside of the bowl and flush. Badabingbadaboom
I love that for you
Sink pissers unite
I stick my tip in the toilet water and swish it around. Unrelated but it stings when I pee.
Thank you for your service.
