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.

      Yes, particularly as I get older the equipment doesn’t drain fully and needs a little help.

      There’s a rhyme about it “no matter how much you shake and dance, the last few drops go down your pants”, well I choose to wipe instead of relying on the absorbance of my pants or trousers (the original saying is American so means trousers really).

        It’s so curious I bet thers one in each language we have a similar one in Italy it says

        “puoi scrollarlo dalle alpi alle ande ma l ultima goccia va sempre nelle mutande”

        It means you can shake it from the Alps to the Andes but the last drop always goes into the underwear

          Thank you for sharing this. I’m going to try it out on my Italian friends :)

            Also in Argentina and others Spanish speaking countries we say “Como Salomón la última gota va al pantalón” it means “Like Solomon the last drop good in the pants”.

      Very serious follow up: How much do you make in a year if your answer is “yes”?

        Yes. One piece. Pull back Foreskin, wrap and “load”. Holds the piece in place, voids “the drop” and is removed after standing up.

        Based on my pissing pattern, I would say around 600 pieces a year. So 2-3 rolls?

        I favor BD’s so cleaning up the rear is really clean too. I theoretically could wear my underpants/boxers for more than a day, they don’t smell after a normal day.

        Intimate Hygiene is key to avoid yeast infections or bladder inflammation for partners of the opposite sex. Don’t know about same sex relationships, but no one likes a stinky dick (no kink shaming).

        Edit: Get an ass shower if you don’t have space for a BD. Game changer in well-being, albeit a little awkward when having guests who don’t care for stinky butts.
