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.

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.

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Some sort of perineal drier? There's probably bidets with something like that built-in.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

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 😆
