Unusual Toilet Paper usage survey

[gsdx]

Okay, I heard about this on Daily Planet today and I thought it would be interesting to see if we come anywhere near the survey results given on the programme, so I've decided to make a poll out of it.

The question is, then:

How do you use toilet paper?

 

[star-warrior]

I use it to wipe my fundament when I've eased a solid call of nature.

I will also use it for:

wiping other bodily excretions
wiping toilet seats
laying them on toilet seats before sitting down
wiping down surfaces other than within the bathroom
using a twist of paper as a splint to light the stove

amongst other things...

By the way, most people surveyed admitted to looking at what they had just wiped, but that question, I suppose, should be reserved for its own poll.

Here are the results of the survey from Daily Planet:

42% fold the paper before using it
33% crumple it up
8% fold and crumple
6% wrap the toilet paper around their hand.

I answered before your poll was up, so I fold. And look. Make sure it's all clean before putting the undies on. Don't want any skid marks do we?

It also depends on the strength of the paper. The Tescos stuff we bought is fairly tough. You can use 2 two-ply sheets folded into 3 layers and it's fine, won't break, then fold after the first wipe, and you can get two good wipes out of two sheetss.

We bought some from Morrisons and you really needed four sheets as it broke if you applied pressure with three panels. So, you horses for courses....

Now I'm wondering - how does a blind person know when they're done wiping?

Fold.
Look.
Refold, if necessary.
Look.
Discard.
Flush.

Bloody Hell. Now I'm going to be up all night thinking about this...
Thanks a pant-load.

Fold. .

 

[RationalLunacy]

I use a trowel.

And remember to close the lid on flushing so as to prevent fecal matter aerosoling into the air where you and others, can breathe it in.

If you really want to prevent "aerosoling", you flush before you wipe!

For me, I kind of crumple and fold. And yes, I look! You better believe, I make sure all is "gone" before I pull my drawers back up.

I am obsessive about my folding. I fold in half three times to get the perfect square of wiping. I use Costco stuff 100% of the time at home, but I've tried some of the thicker, softer stuff elsewhere and I enjoy it as well. It feels like you're using so much less of the thick stuff, but the rolls are smaller, the tissue thicker, and its more expensive.

Other good questions I've seen polled about wiping are "Do you reach behind or through the legs?" and "Wipe down towards the perenium, or the opposite direction?"

lol, wraparound ^.^

i am not so much ocd for the folding as i am with other things.

ALTHOUGH...

when i was younger, i use to crumple it, and then i tried folding---the feeling of thinness was disgusting...

then the wraparound. its fast and efficient.
