Stupid question-how much toilet paper do you use?

[Bobbi]

I found a hard pull yields 9 squares.

LOL when I had that one fired at me by my SO, my response was "How on earth would you know how much toilet paper I use?!" LOL! I was so surprised that anyone would even point that out to another person unless they used a whole roll (or half I suppose) per visit!

I thought it was hilarious and so did my SO when he realised that it's a weird question to ask.

My answer now would be "enough" and if he commented further I would tell him that there's no way I would ever use less than enough!

As to exactly how many sheets I use. Well that completely depends on the situation so I think "enough" should cover it.

LOL I'm still laughing at this topic. I wouldn't worry about it. After all it's not like we can definitely precisely see everything down there and it stands to reason that women use more than men do. I wonder if any of our male forum members would care to comment?

Are those "2 squares" the same kind of useless, waxy

>how to use that (but I wasn't there very long).

Ack they still use that horrid waxy stuff?! We had that in the girls toilets during my first year at Junior School (ages about 7-11 for those that don't know what Junior School is) and it was horrid stuff. I used to buy packets of paper travel-sized hankies to take with me so I could use that instead or hang on until I got home! I didn't think anyone used that anymore. Years ago you would find this dreadful stuff that was a rougher version of tracing paper at most public conveniences but these days even the council funded free toilets (if you can find any that is) have the soft stuff. Even if it isn't as soft and strong as the stuff we'd like to have.

Speaking of wadding versus folding, my friends and I discussed this when out to happy hour (both men & women) and found that ALL the men folded and ALL the women wadded. I think it's because women use TP so often, while men may only use it once per day.

On another note, not to take this off topic, but -- it was also split evenly on flushing public toilets. ALL men used their hands. ALL women kicked.
