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 think an important metric is a bidet.

1, sometimes 2.

Does anyone else have the problem where sometimes a bit of TP sticks to your labia? especially the 1-ply

And then there's the toilet paper lint that sticks to various parts...

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.

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Yeah, about the same.

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

I don't have a vagina yet BUT...

I'd like to learn from current owners by interacting with this post.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago

Two or three, more if my uterine lining is shedding.

Peepee User here, I use 1

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Penis owner here. Occasionally I'll use 1-2, or part of a paper towel (or whatever else I can find first).

In 30+ years of peeing, I still can't figure out why it sometimes stays under my foreskin, then makes a wet spot on my pants two minutes later. Guess I'm just bad at peeing.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Gotta pump the gooch my dude.

There's a bit of a u-bend in the urethra right about where the scrotum meets the taint. Use a finger to push up and slightly forward to pump that last bit of pee out.

I have nothing to add. I just like this as a saying.
