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.
At home: 3 squares, folded. At other places with different paper: 4-5, depending on quality. Out and about with the tissue paper that exists in public bathrooms? Maybe the length of my arm.
Not a fan of the 0.5-ply paper they have at work?
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.
What do you do with the washcloth after use? Hang to dry and reuse, throw in a basket for laundry?
Not OP, but we have a bidet and a basket of cut up t-shirt cloths next to the toilet that are single-use and then go in the wash every week. I wouldn’t personally reuse washcloths for wiping out of fear of UTIs, but I’m extra paranoid.
I hang it to dry and use it for the rest of the day, and then with the laundry it goes.

I know I’m not the target audience, but when I’m at home I rinse my stick
Sink pissers unite
Same. Just hold it against the inside of the bowl and flush. Badabingbadaboom
I love that for you
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.
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?

I slap it against the door frame as I leave the bathroom.
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.
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.
I used tooo … Now I have discovered that I can just shove it in the blow drier works better 😉
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 go with undies.
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.

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?!
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.
Usually, 2-3 double/folded sheets (so 4-6 in total). Possibly more at messier times.
4 rolls. Amateurs
Three shares, folded in half, then in half again. Maybe two squares if it’s quilted.
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.
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.
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”.
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
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
I dab too, there are dozens of us!
