s/o: another TP clicky poll
Nicole's poll made me think... MH and I are always arguing about how to use the TP... he says it's cheap and I should stop worrying about it... but he goes through TP like crazy. I can totally tell when he's used the bathroom b/c the roll is noticeably smaller. I will wipe, fold, then wipe again using the clean surface of the TP... plus I pull off the bare minimum # of sheets of TP to use. he just pulls a ton of TP off each time, wipes once, and then tosses the TP so he ends up using so much more each time. it annoys me to no end and makes me want to buy the super thin 1/2 ply TP (which he grew up using) instead of the double rolls b/c it seems like no matter how thick the TP is, he just pulls the same amount off the roll.....
so, what do you do with your TP? 
Re: s/o: another TP clicky poll
Jaime, I think we are weird TP twins. MH does the exact same thing! I used to tell him he went through it faster than me (we have separate bathrooms) and he'd say "No way, you have to use it every time!" or "I was using it to blow my nose!"
Since we started buying TP at Costco and splitting the package up evenly, it's not even close. He'll be on his last roll and I've still got 4 left. That's a lot of nose-blows.
Well I guess this all depends on what you're doing in the bathroom, right?
Yikes, that was major TMI for me!
*whispers*
I'm probably more like 7-8 squares (now I'm going to have to count next time I go lol). I know it's bad.
*hangs head in shame*
hah, I was just coming back to update my post... i felt the need to clarify that my post was referring to #2. (haha) tinkling is a whole different story altogether - I use a lot more, wipe, fold, wipe, toss - done. in fact, i just counted - i used 12 squares
in my defense, the tp at work is really thin! i wonder if i use less at home...
Interesting style differences...I fold the 8 squares (or so) in thirds (yes I'm a rebel), then use that, then fold that in half and use again, with the option of yet another fold should it be required.
hmmm i never thought to fold it into thirds! we have the double thickness TP so i think i tear off about 4-6 sheets, fold in in half several times until it's the size of one single sheet, wipe, fold in half, and wipe again. sometimes i'll fold it in half and wipe again too.
seems like the majority of people do fold and wipe again - i don't know why i can't convince MH to do this, esp since he is all green and recycles everything, even the pieces of paper that come between the cheese slices we buy!
i love that we can have endless conversations about TP on this board

you know what sucks? i used to be able to go a long time w/o running to the bathroom, until I got PG... and I still have to make frequent trips. i often pee and then i'm like "that's it?!" it totally feels like my bladder is super full but only a moderate amount comes out, ....before getting PG that totally wouldn't have bothered me. so i don't know what it is, but i wish i could hold it longer like i used to (even though i know it isn't good to hold it too long). it doesn't help that i have to drink a ton of water now to BF, so that in and of itself equates to more frequent trips to the bathroom

Amen to this. Our TP consumption has also gone up dramatically since I stopped working.
