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 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?
Also vaginaless, but I’ll throw in one square as an answer. All the jiggling in the world won’t get rid of that last drop. It’s either TP, or my undies.
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’d 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.
That’s about how i figured it would be…seems like it would be kinda weird to get right, and even then you kinda need that reassurance of a good pat 😆
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.
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?!
It really depends. Both on how much I peed, and also how decent the TP is. Basically however many it takes not to saturate the TP, and not get urine/blood/mucus on my hands. Could be three, could be a ton.
I’ll use a TON more during my period, as even with a cup in, blood finds it’s way onto my skin and then the flow of the urine helps spread it to every nook and cranny.
Another thing to take into account is discharge. That definitely takes extra TP, it’s thicker and a few squares won’t hold up.
TL;DR whoever gives a consistent amount of squares is either lying or has a much nicer vagina than I do

The hose can be sneaky though. See, you think you are finished, you relax a bit more drops out… Now you are really done, you wipe the last little bit. Good to go.
But fuck you, no, sometimes there is a bit half way up that didn’t come out, you get to the door and now the last bit let’s go. Now you are uncomfortable and a little embarrassed.
Does it happen every time, no, but it is an ever present option…
4-6
-2?
Might be someone mad because of this.
Peepee User here, I use 1
2 or 3 squares, often folded. If the paper is cheap single ply it might be two or three times the amount.
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?
Two or three, more if my uterine lining is shedding.
Three shares, folded in half, then in half again. Maybe two squares if it’s quilted.
Yeah, about the same.
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.
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.
4 rolls. Amateurs
1-3
I definitely use more than I need. #Privileged
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.
