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.
- Chrissie ( @ChrissieWF@discuss.tchncs.de ) 3•2 hours ago
Usually, 2-3 double/folded sheets (so 4-6 in total). Possibly more at messier times.
- Monzcarro ( @Monzcarro@feddit.uk ) 5•3 hours ago
Three shares, folded in half, then in half again. Maybe two squares if it’s quilted.
- Jojo, Lady of the West ( @Silentiea@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 4•3 hours ago
Yeah, about the same.
Oh this is smart, you’re getting the required thickness by folding instead of using more pieces. When using an unfolded stack of squares you could end up utilizing just a small spot while the rest remains dry.

Is anyone else infuriated by the number of ‘I don’t have a vagina BUT’ posts?
Like let me speak for the woman in my life. Let me provide my opinion. I know I wasn’t asked BUT…
Jesus just go die in a hole. Let women speak for themselves.
- lud ( @lud@lemm.ee ) 3•53 minutes ago
Personally I don’t see anything wrong with that at all. Commenting even if you don’t have a vagina is absolutely not the same as speaking for everyone that does have one. In fact I haven’t found a single comment that speaks for anyone but themselves.
If it’s absolutely critical that only people with a vagina comments, OP should probably have put the question on a gendered ask community instead of the main one.
Some people just like to engage in the conversation about something they think is interesting even if it wasn’t explicitly asked for. It’s also interesting to compare delta-TP between genders.
Telling people to die seems a bit extreme for such a non issue.

Two or three, more if my uterine lining is shedding.
- Alice ( @Alice@beehaw.org ) 9•8 hours ago
It really depends. Both on how much I peed, and also how decent the TP is. Basically however many it takes not to saturate the TP, and not get urine/blood/mucus on my hands. Could be three, could be a ton.
I’ll use a TON more during my period, as even with a cup in, blood finds it’s way onto my skin and then the flow of the urine helps spread it to every nook and cranny.
Another thing to take into account is discharge. That definitely takes extra TP, it’s thicker and a few squares won’t hold up.
TL;DR whoever gives a consistent amount of squares is either lying or has a much nicer vagina than I do

At home: 3 squares, folded. At other places with different paper: 4-5, depending on quality. Out and about with the tissue paper that exists in public bathrooms? Maybe the length of my arm.
- Jojo, Lady of the West ( @Silentiea@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 2•3 hours ago
Not a fan of the 0.5-ply paper they have at work?
- TisI ( @TisI@reddthat.com ) 5•9 hours ago
I obviously wash, but when I’m home I use washcloths to dry my vagina, and they’re just the best. If I can’t use washcloths to dry, I use those interfold tissues. They’re amazing, they don’t rip and you don’t find tiny rolled pieces all over the place.
If I’m not in the house, in public places I use the interfold tissues if they have them, otherwise, depending on the quality of the tp, a minimum of 3 up to 6 or 7.
What do you do with the washcloth after use? Hang to dry and reuse, throw in a basket for laundry?
- Bilbo_Haggins ( @Bilbo_Haggins@lemm.ee ) 1•10 minutes ago
Not OP, but we have a bidet and a basket of cut up t-shirt cloths next to the toilet that are single-use and then go in the wash every week. I wouldn’t personally reuse washcloths for wiping out of fear of UTIs, but I’m extra paranoid.

Penis owner here, I used to do 1just to dab the tip cuz that’s what my dad did but learned later that nobody else does it and stopped.
- jonsnothere ( @jonsnothere@beehaw.org ) 2•5 hours ago
I dab too, there are dozens of us!

1
1 Roll
- bizarroland ( @bizarroland@fedia.io ) 23•14 hours ago
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?
- Todd Bonzalez ( @todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee ) 24•14 hours ago
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.
- PotatoesFall ( @PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de ) 10•10 hours ago
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.
I’d go with undies.
Some sort of perineal drier? There’s probably bidets with something like that built-in.
- Mothra ( @Mothra@mander.xyz ) 10•13 hours ago
2 or 3 squares, often folded. If the paper is cheap single ply it might be two or three times the amount.
- Ada ( @ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 6•13 hours ago
2 or 3
4-6
- SkaveRat ( @SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de ) 17•15 hours ago
-2?
Might be someone mad because of this.

I know I’m not the target audience, but when I’m at home I rinse my stick
