Do you fold your toilet paper?

Do you scrunch your toilet paper?

Do you scrunch-fold?

I scrunch or scrunch-fold, my husband folds..

Scrunch

They had a thing on tv that I watched once and it said that the majority of men fold their tp, women scrunch. And that the scrunch method is a better barrier against bacteria then folding.

Ah interesting Sherry...an actual thing on TV..never saw it. I must do a search..lol.

I fold and toss for the first wipe. Then fold and refold for subsequent wipes (if I don't have wet wipes).

I think folding gets in there better and does a quicker job of cleaning!

I wash afterwards, so I don't care which is a better barrier against bacteria.

I'm a scruncher and I use a ton of tp. And will only go poop in one bathroom in our house. I have developed quite the odd bathroom habits over the years!!

Sort of OT on this topic Q but I seen this and had to share:

LOL, I saw this on Strange Addictions. Very strange and I'm perplexed as to the why it would satisfy something.

Now, chocolate, that I can understand!

You know, I really have to think about this. I believe I scrunch more than I fold but have been known to do both. I feel that the scrunch does a better clean up job for me :)

Scrunch!!

Scrunch!!

I scrunch and scrunch and scrunch. It takes at least three wipes to get clean...stupid skin tag!

Do you load the roll so the end is on top or on the bottom?? Always on the top for me!
Posted 6/17/2011 2:42 AM (GMT 0)
ONLY over the top, not under...ever. ewww, I don't like to touch the wall, especially at someone's house.


Yes, I go through lots of TP...

lol.

Don't we all???? shocked

The toilet papers at public places suck. I have to fold like 10x to get a good wipe lol.
Posted 6/17/2011 4:42 AM (GMT 0)
In public places the toilet paper tends to be hard to access because it keeps breaking off in single sheets or fails to roll and flakes off all over the floor as one tries desperately to snare a reasonable amount of solid sheets! Aaaarrrrrrrrrgh! I prefer a scrunchy fold, followed by a couple Tucks medicated pads to get rid of the clingies. / Old Hat (30 yrs with left-sided UC; presently in remission taking brandname Colazal)

Scrunchy girl all the way.

Fold! Looks like the difference between men and women might be true after all :-)
Posted 6/17/2011 7:52 AM (GMT 0)
scrunch. no way folding would keep my hands clean. BTW, is it just me or do (we/I) go through a LOT of TP in a week.
Posted 6/17/2011 3:26 PM (GMT 0)
I scrunch as well, and yes go thru alot of TP!  I get Scott's 1000 sheets (kinda rough, I know, but seems to work better than the too soft rolls).

I scrunch as well. Sherry; funny thing about the toilet paper story...when I saw that program, I had to laugh because my dog will do anything -- and I mean anything -- to get any paper product she can and her favorite happens to be toilet paper. She munches away on it. I could probably put it in her dog bowl instead of food. Not sure where she got this crazy fetish from, but it kind of makes us crazy because we can never leave paper around or she will smell it and find it. And eat it.
