I’m a wadder. I must have a weird digestive tract, because half the time it’s…well let’s just say that it’s a challenge to not use just minimal paper and less than three flushes.

Also, I’m a standing wiper. My wife thinks that’s weird, but that’s the way I’ve always done it. The thought of trying to squeeze my arm between me and the toilet seat is not a pleasant one. And do you know how long it takes to wash the smell of shit off of your skin if you goet some on your hand!? I do. I won’t take the chance.

I use (folded)squirrel hides. They are a little more expensive, but well worth it.

Ha!

2. Folding. Although, I’m not sure if what I do is considered “folding,” as much as it could be considered “wrapping.” If the TP is free, I take it with my right hand, hold it between my left thumb and pointer, and wrap it around my left hand 2-3 times (2 if the roll is newer, 3 if the roll is getting empty). If the TP is on the roll, I’ll grab the end and yank or unroll until several squares are unrolled. I’ll then grab the end and the square I’m about to tear off together. Then I’ll take that and “wrap it.” Wipe, then fold in half and rewipe. Then grab a wet wipe (using Cottonelle at the moment) and clean up the area. It does not take any extra time since this can be done as you are “taking care of business” instead of waiting until you are ready to clean up.

There is more than one reason for advertisers focusing on the “strength” of paper towel and the”gentlness” of tp.

TP is engineered to disintegrate and flush. Towel IS NOT!

Happy stooling, fellow sufferers!
