Toilet Paper: Scrunch or Fold?
2005-10-26, 1:00 PM #1
Well?

EDIT: WHEN YOU ROLL IT AROUND YOUR HAND THEN FLATTEN, THAT COUNTS AS FOLD. THATS WHAT I DO.

Fold, definitely.

The roll is underhand. I stand up (better leverage), rip off a longer length of TP than I should, scrunch it up, wipe from bottom to top, look at the contents of the TP, and assess whether I need another wipe.

The onyl difference I can see folding making is it uses up more paper needlessly.
Oh and if the seargent comes round inspecting the bowl before you flush it will look more orderly I guess...

Not really folded, not really scrunched... loosely rolled and flattened

THIS POLL IS UNFAIR! :p

Not that it really matters, but couldn't you have edited your previous post to read "fold" ?

Fold once. Scrunch after if first folded sheet can be reused.

Unless you have that crappy toilet paper that you need more then one layer to wipe with. It also saves you having to grab more TP if you need to wipe again.

If you have crappy toilet paper you scrunch more just as you would fold more.
As for grabbing more TP for a re-wipe... well it's just gross if you don't.

But folding provides more surface area and doesn't require more than a few sheets.

Uh... no it doesn't. Folding produces the least amount of surface area possible given a constant length of TP and number of folds.

If you fold two or three sheets along the perforations, it seems to work well.

I fold, for the following reasons that also make it superior to the scrunching technique:

Folding provides a better barrier against the poo. Scrunching is a technique that produces random layering, with some parts being one to two layers thick and other parts being 5 layers thick. Folding produces an even, consistently strong barrier provided you fold the TP you just pulled out twice over itself.

Folding saves paper. Let's say after two folds you get a foot-long rectangle that is 4 layers thick. You use it at one end, fold the end over the skidmark you just made, and repeat. This not only saves paper but is convenient (no need to roll out another length of TP) and clean (every time you fold over, the TP thickness between your hand and your anus increases).

Folding allows you to use an entire side, and 3/4 of the other.

What the hell are you talking about

I tear off four squares and fold it twice along the creases.

THAT'S HOW I WAS TAUGHT. ITS NOT A WASTE OF PAPER.

lmao @ this thread!

and mine depends, if I use the actual toilet paper holder I scrunch, but if I roll by hand because I've been to lazy to put in the holder, I'll roll around my hand and flatten (aka: fold)

I scrunch mainly beause I don't want to take time folding it. Plus, I have a VERY hairy colon and its requires me to scrub my anus in order to make sure the hairs are clear of poo and scrunching is easier to scrub with than folding. I hope I didn't say too much...
