Been meaning to post this poll for ages.

Assume 2-ply sheets of the standard nearly-square size, not those odd public restroom golden rectangles.

Also, if your first wipe is different from the rest (mine is... ), just answer for the rest, not the first.

Pisses me off every time I'm in the public bathroom and I hear somebody pulling out yards of TP. Every. Single. Time.

This poll is best poll.

"Fasten, Zip! You wanna talk socks?"

"I'm not having this conversation!"

[zookeeper]

This poll is dumb. Obviously it varies a lot.

[Rodo]

hahahahah.

let me see... I think mostly 2.

[Mongoose]

Has to be at least 6 if I was counting.  I need as much waddage between my hand and the danger zone as possible.

(Also how in the year 2015 have we not figured out a better solution to this issue than wiping our asses with cheap paper.  Bidets don't count.)

Glad someone got the reference.

One time I was eating a different diet and didn't have to wipe, just a clean, residue-less deposit.

 If only I could remember what that diet was I could save hundreds on TP each year.

What fascinates me is it implies people use paper to wipe Number 1.

[karajorma]

I assume some women do.

I do this because with commercial grade TP you need to double up, sometimes even quadruple (navy issue TP is thinner than those tissue paper party streamer things).

I think it's much more fascinating why some people would find that fascinating! Man or woman, I think it's obvious that without paper, it's anatomically almost impossible to get a result quite as good as with paper, even if one personally finds the difference small enough to not be worth the effort.

[watsisname]

I don't poop.  Pooping is gross.

[watsisname]

But I voted 4 anyway.

Indeed. I use a single square for number 1. Also, shaking it off just gets droplets everywhere. Don't do that. Squeeze the pee out from as far back as you care to go, wipe with a square, and viola! - no more yellow stainage in your underwear/boxers/drawers/whatever.

This must be the most important question in the universe, I'm sure of it.

My only advice to all you poopers out there, don't skimp on toilet paper, good stuff is vital, removes danger of contamination and chaff-age.

No, it's more of a comfort issue, actually. TP isn't tissue paper for your nose and is a little rough to be applying to sensitive bodyparts in the experience of those I've consulted. (I can't say I've ever had the yellow stain problem Sand describes, personally, or much need to wave it about to get the last bit out.)
