Unless I get a million wiper (which happened more when I was mostly vegetarian, surprisingly enough) I hardly need any toilet paper. Especially when using Scott because it's not one of those soft, primpy papers that leaves dingleberries all over my crack.

Depends on the paper.

If it's Cottonelle or Charmin, or any decent bog roll, I tend to need about six or seven wads of two sheets per wad.

If it's hotel TP, I might need double that - or more.

Haha! I love the concept of the million wiper, even though I didn't vote for it. Next, we'll have the Million Wiper March On Washington.

Scatters, I'm the opposite. I seem to average 2 attempts with 5-6 squares each, scrunched up so's I have something to hold onto.

Thanks to PS for this poll. I had not previously considered the acreage of my toilet paper usage. I think that I average about 12-15 sheets per deposit. I'm interested to find out if it is accurate. Needless to say:

The Crack will keep track.

You people are terribly wasteful. You should be ASShamed of your selves. I use 4 or 5 squares per wipe. I generally wipe one or two times.

My ex-mother-in-law had a way of folding toilet paper in half so that you got an extra wipe out of each square. Mind you, I had that information strictly second-hand (so-to-speak).

I do that. When I do have to wipe, I always fold the TP neatly, then fold it again and again until it's too small and/or too dirty to re-use. What can I say, I'm a frugal wiper.

I say "when I do have to wipe" because our butt washer is so efficient that, when I poop at home, I only need to wipe to dry the water off my ass. Either way, I use very little TP. I haven't purchased TP since October. (When I do buy it, I buy the biggest package I can find. I've always been a sucker for big packages.)

Heh. She said 'a sucker for big packages.'

Heh, again.

TBW, you are dirty-minded, which is out of place on this site.

I picked the 11-30 sheets as I usually need two batches of neatly folded sets of 10. Sometimes it's only a couple for the dry wiping, and on rare occasions the million wiper happens.

So AB2K likes big packages.....sooooooo what! Good for her! I mean, who does not like a big package, other than a big package of doodie on your doorstep!

With 2 girls in the house, the amounut of TP that is used here is astounding. Usually 1.75 rolls a day. My poor septic system!

Have a Crappy Day!! Poop Shooter!

I voted for the 1-10 but it is more like two, I always drop rabbit pellets and the first wipe usually comes up clean, if i eat too much fiber and get a mil wiper that figure jumps fom 2 to 20

"TBW, you are dirty-minded, which is out of place on this site."

????? Dumpster, what about YOUR dirty mind? I can only infer that this comment is supposed to contain a rather large helping of sarcasm. Besides, I wrote the big packages thing as a double entendre, anyway. I like big packages of all kinds (except the poop on my doorstep, good call Poop Shooter.)

"I can only infer that this comment is supposed to contain a rather large helping of sarcasm."

Bang on the dot, as usual, AB2K, except I might have used the word "irony" instead of "sarcasm," as I was kind of laughing WITH TBW at your obvious double entendre, and not AT him.

I became painfully aware of how much toilet paper I used when I moved to college and had to start buying my own. In my discoveries, papers, like Charmin just kind of smear what you're trying to wipe, so it takes more, but others, like Scotts will scrape everything out in one or two wipes and it takes less paper too. Sometimes I guess it is a good thing to wipe your ass with sandpaper.
I never truely understood why my parents told me to not waste t.p. until I had to pay for my own [and having roommates that waste it made me want to scream]

After a baby wipe and about 3 or 4 sheets of TP my bum is nice and clean.

No, no, NO way! I cannot FOLD crappy TP! Once it slides back, it DROPS! That's it! One trip per wad, ONLY! I practice frugality in a few areas, but WIPING is NOT one of them! Ewww!

I'm a folder wiper folder wiper folder wiper tosser. I think it's about 12 sheets for every poop, unless it's been on deck for a while, then I've got to "sand da flo", as Mr Miyagi would say.

I too am a fan of big packages (being one myself): Kirkland 32 pack.

I never count the sheets, but I don't use very much, especially if I'm cleaning up after parting with some normally firm turds.

For a normal b.m. I use 10 sheets in 3 groups of 4, 3, and 3. Take 4 sheets, fold into a square, wipe; refold, wipe again. Take 3 sheets and do likewise. Take the last 3 sheets and do it again, this time with a dab of Noxzema on the last (folded) wipe. 10 sheets. Thus, a 1,000-sheet roll of Scott Tissue lasts 100 bowel movements typically. Occasionally I have to use more or fewer sheets.
