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.
Do some dudes use TP when they pee?
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.

I think an important metric is a bidet.
Tip: “–”, en dash, is used for ranges like 2–3—not “-”, hyphen
How on earth did English typography get so weird with mdash, ndash, dash, hyphen, etcetera while most of the readers have no clue about the the differences. IMHO, just use dash.
Can you explain me how the different lengths of dash add to the understanding of the text, when I usually don’t even see the difference on my mobile phone screen?
They have different meanings where the lengths help at a glance such as using en dash for a compound adjective or em dash for a longer pause for a clause. This aides in reading even if you only pick up on it subconsciously.
How was this handled in the age of typewriters?
Using multiple consecutive hyphens. Some schools used – for em-dash, others — (still used today in latex), and then – for en-dash.
whoever invented all those dashes… I just wanna talk
I was literally about to right that, beat me to it.
Write*
But it’s okay; I protect
I like that you snuck an em dash in there 😉
Where on a standard keyboard is this
Just google the character and copy paste it as needed.
How ridiculous. I’ll just use the one on the keyboard.
I had some doubts people would get the joke. I should go add an /s
To answer your question it depends on the keyboard but i don’t actually care, the difference between - and – is just semantics to me.
What is a “standard” keyboard? No such thing as every region has different keyboards & variants inside those regions. I can use AltGr on my desktop keyboard & holding the hyphen key on mobile allows easy selection of em dash & en dash.
I work for a multi-national IT department. I just happen to have a UK, FR and DE laptop on the workbench. I don’t see the em-dash on any of them. AltGr + hyphen does nothing on Windows (Google search says Mac supports this). None of these laptops have a numpad, but Google search says maybe CTRL+MINUS(numpad) may give an em-dash. Can’t test though.
In any case, it seems the world has left behind em-dash, so correcting users on a public forum seems pointless.
I don’t think this is possible without alt codes on standard Windows configurations. MacOS has shortcuts for them and Linux has them too (if you have compose enabled, which is disabled by default).
Works on phones through the special character input. Sometimes. Depends on your language, location, and keyboard of choice.
Seems rather unnecessary and pedantic to tell others to use it, though. This is a forum, not a thesis.
Usually 2
1, sometimes 2.
Does anyone else have the problem where sometimes a bit of TP sticks to your labia? especially the 1-ply
We do.
augh it’s annoying
And then there’s the toilet paper lint that sticks to various parts…
When I was young with tighter labia that didn’t flap or stick to the side and had a firmer bladder, 3, every time. Now 4.
Usually, 2-3 double/folded sheets (so 4-6 in total). Possibly more at messier times.
4 rolls. Amateurs
Three shares, folded in half, then in half again. Maybe two squares if it’s quilted.
I don’t know the physics behind it, or if it’s even true (could just be a placebo effect), but if you scrunch the paper there is less streaking on the clean up.
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.
Yeah, about the same.
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.
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.
1000 people dead in Alaska because they replied to a post about wiping piss
Rawr.
I don’t have a vagina yet BUT…
I’d like to learn from current owners by interacting with this post.
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.
I do
Last drop belong to undies, that’s the law
Nan fuck that I always do the dab, I don’t want my dick to be pp flavored
Its tradition around here to add a little extra hot sauce for the last dab
I dab too, there are dozens of us!
Two or three, more if my uterine lining is shedding.
Penis owner here. Occasionally I’ll use 1-2, or part of a paper towel (or whatever else I can find first).
In 30+ years of peeing, I still can’t figure out why it sometimes stays under my foreskin, then makes a wet spot on my pants two minutes later. Guess I’m just bad at peeing.
Gotta pump the gooch my dude.
There’s a bit of a u-bend in the urethra right about where the scrotum meets the taint. Use a finger to push up and slightly forward to pump that last bit of pee out.
Gotta pump the gooch my dude.
I have nothing to add. I just like this as a saying.
Peepee User here, I use 1
