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.

    I obviously wash, but when I’m home I use washcloths to dry my vagina, and they’re just the best. If I can’t use washcloths to dry, I use those interfold tissues. They’re amazing, they don’t rip and you don’t find tiny rolled pieces all over the place.

    If I’m not in the house, in public places I use the interfold tissues if they have them, otherwise, depending on the quality of the tp, a minimum of 3 up to 6 or 7.

    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?

      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.

          What an image. But explains the penis level dents I see in toilet door frames sometimes.

        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.

      Some sort of perineal drier? There’s probably bidets with something like that built-in.

        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.

            That’s about how i figured it would be…seems like it would be kinda weird to get right, and even then you kinda need that reassurance of a good pat 😆

    2 or 3 squares, often folded. If the paper is cheap single ply it might be two or three times the amount.

    Feeling wasteful in the between 4 and 6 category. That is, if I am away from home and there is no bidet. That is just what I feel adequately safe/dry with

    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.

      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

        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.
