Title: Scrunch or Fold?
Post by: Sandwich on June 03, 2006, 05:34:44 am
Just curious. It's a conversation I had with my friends over dinner a while back. Figured I'd get some statistics. :)

Confused? ;)

You can never stick to a certain number of squares, as it depends on whether you had curry for dinner, whether you're in a Service-station Restroom, whether or not you've got a square to spare, etc.

But anyway, Scrunching FTW!

I'm impressed at the number of folders. I thought more by far would scrunch out of laziness (as I do)... nice. :p

I've been in a discussion about this in one other forum and the common understanding there became that women are more likely to scrunch because they need more volume with the wipe, so as not to wet their fingers in possible urine. As men do not have that problem, they are more likely to fold. But it's not a universal rule.

When I was a little boy I used to scrunch, because I learned that from my mother when she still wiped my butt, but eventually I learned the superior technique of folding.

I'm not going to tell anything about what ladies do in the bathroom :P  We certainly don't talk about poo poo issue while having a meal together   :D

Not sure the content in first paragraph is true.  For most moms, they tend to scrunch more often when they have to wipe their baby's bottoms.  It's quite chanlleging when cleaning the little bottoms, and I think scruncing is faster than folding to get a nice think layer.

From whom did you learn the technique later?

There was a girl participating in the discussion I mentioned and she suggested it as the reason why she prefered scrunching. Might not apply to all women then?

That was easily the best part of the rather sub-par movie. I wonder if the writers even had a possible solution as to how those three Sea-shells worked...

I refuse to accept either term-- they both sound idiotic. "Scrunching" sounds like you just grab a bunch of TP into a wad, and "folding" sounds like you take the strip and fan-fold it, a la form feed printer paper.

But that's what it is! See, you grab a few squares, scrunch it into a solid shape within your hand, and go nuts! I'll honestly never understand why some people go to the effort of folding, thereby leaving only a thin barrier of TP, and thus dangerously little seperation between your hand and the... how can I put this delicately... sh*t!

Dude. The **** isn't going to eat its way trough three layers of decent toilet paper, no matter how bad hangover you have. I am a folder. I don't like scrunching because I don't trust it to work well enought. Like when you wipe a table, do you pack the cloth in your fist and then roll it around the table? It works better when you fold the cloth. Yes? I applied the same theory on the ass wiping when I had to start doing it myself. And it really doesn't take much effort to fold the paper. Depends how neatly you have to measure size of the folded wiping surface... To some people the proper size and shape are pretty important. Not to me thought.

I cant belive that I actually took part in this discussion...

You guys make me giggle. :lol:

By the way, it seems that some people may have thought that the numbers in the poll refer to the numbers of times one folds the TP. That would be wrong... it's supposed to refer to the number of squares one rips off...
