And in the case where the poo leaves little residue, if you have a square-shape folded toilet paper, you can fold over in half and still be able to use it one more time. With a scrunched up ball there's no way.
If you spill ketchup on the table, do you scrunch up a paper towel into a ball and dab it until its gone or do you take a flat paper towel and do a clean swipe? |
Well I would never fold tp and reuse it once I know there's already poo on it. If I'm only using 2 squares anyway, I feel that's a good wipe/toss ratio. I wouldn't be dabbing anyhow, it's still wiping, but just with a scrunched "ball". I think it can be debated a scrunched ball can spread less because there's less surface area to push, and more layers/depth to absorb vertically. But that can be negligible and depending if you had a wet or dry shit. Scrunched ball also has more texture to "scrape", if it comes down to that...
But I think the best reason for me is cause the scrunched ball means there's more layers between my finger and asshole.

I think it's weird to stand up like a toddler getting their ass wiped by mom. He said it's weird to stick your hand down there next to poop (well flush first obviously). Also the way I picture it, your ass cheeks close up when standing, so like.. yeah weird
But if everyone says they stand to wipe, I guess I'm the weirdo |
I stand, unless I have a really bad one like diarrhea, where I actually feel wet shit splattered around my asshole. Then I don't even want to move until I clean up the initial mess. I would assume people that stand mean they bend over a bit. If you stand straight up, then your ass cheeks will close up and you won't even have the optimal angle. Legs should be slightly spread apart like you're about to do a squat, then either lean forward, or squat down like 1 inch. That's how I do it. Sometimes if I'm really in the mood, maybe I'll even put 1 leg up on the toilet seat for full access. lol.
Unless you guys have a really large diameter bowl, how do you reach your hand in while still sitting down? I don't like the thought of accidentally having my wrist touch the rim of the seat either.

I don't see it so much as being frugal, but with my method, I don't see any advantage of using more than 2 squares.

Wipe, Baby wipe, dry wipe, flush again
Baby wipes are a must if you don't have a bidet. You'll be amazed at what it does even after you think you've wiped clean with TP |
I usually try to time my flushes while the first big one drops. The momentum helps to keep the toilet from clogging if you have the diet/genetics that give hard logs. The only problem is then there's no TP landing pad after, and if you immediately drop more, you may get a nasty splash back. Because of this, sometimes I just wait until the first 2 waves are done, cause I always set up a landing pad before I sit down.
Baby wipes or just washing your ass is the real way to clean up. I think some cultures don't even use TP and just wash down immediately after.
But if you're using baby wipes though, I guess you can't flush them down, so you're leaving shit covered wipes in the garbage can? Won't that eventually make the can stink?
