You use too much toilet paper! And, tmi... :)

United States
July 25, 2016 1:22am CST
Yesterday, my boyfriend mentioned to me I use so much toilet paper. He said how much toilet paper I use just to pee is equivalent to what he needs for his regular restroom trip, ha. This evening, my mother told me to lay off the toilet paper because I use a new roll every two days. Do you guys count how many sheets you rip? I guess I like a lot of cushion I do excessively use a lot of toilet paper in general, but image when I go to the restroom in public.. And by the way, you can now buy emoji toilet paper! Do you want the happy, strainy, smelly or runny? Sorry if it's tmi! Photo Credits:

I just use a bidet and then wipe it off with a toilet paper. So I don't use up that much.

@infatuatedbby Nope but in my home, my office, and in the malls I go to, there's always a bidet.

We don't have a bidet here. Is it common in the Philippines?

We sure go through a lot of here. I know the kids use way more than they need to! I just went to my bathroom and realized too late that someone else had been in there while I was gone and left no TP. There's your TMI from me LOL

My dad made us count the sheets before we took it off the roll. I guess with 10 in the family he had to do what he could for us to get by. I did notice that my youngest granddaughter uses a lot. Who buys the toilet paper at your house?

@velvet53 I knew a girl raised in Venezuela who cushioned her hand AND arm up to her elbow I always wondered how she cleaned her butt. But then her mom (my friend) told me that in Venezuela noone was ever taught to save. Oil paid for it then.

@marguicha I have to laugh cause since I responded to this post I have been watching my son and daughter-in-law and they use a lot. Maybe we need to post a discussion to see how many people think others in their home use too much tp.

@infatuatedbby to answer your questions: Do you guys count how many sheets you rip? Four to six sheets I guess. Do you want the happy, strainy, smelly or runny? I'd pick the happy emoji because the bathroom is my happy place!

@allen0187 Mine too. If it's a loose poop, I might go for five sheets. But that makes folding it for repeated use difficult, mathematically speaking.

Children use up lots of toilet paper. They also can stay in a warm shower for ages. I try to teach them to use enough but not too much. Think of the trees next time.

We tell the kids they are using too much toilet paper, particularly my daughter ! Seriously, it will clog up the toilet! I think people might tend to use a lot of toilet paper to ensure they don't get any pee or poo on their hands while wiping ! The emoji toilet paper is too funny! My kids love playing with the stuffed poop emoji dolls - they want the pillows!

@infatuatedbby I remember we had to do that at my parent's house at one time in our lives. I think my dad wanted to fix the toilet plumbing himself but he couldn't get around to it, so he had us all throwing out the toilet paper in the trash instead of flushing it down the toilet. So what is that pink poop one all about? My kids would collect the whole poop collection if they could!

@much2say Which one is the pink poop? Is that the unicorn poop? Yes, in my household we keep all our toilet paper in the trash can. And we empty it to the main trash every day or every other day depending.

I had a topic before, how we don't throw toilet paper in the toilet so no clogs here. I use a generous amount because I like the cushion and like you mention, ensure no pee/poo touches our hands lol!! The emoji paper is cute. I have this emoji pillow

I have a friend who is not allowed to use my potty because she constantly plugs up her potty at home, and makes her husband clean it up. I have tried potty training her (she's in her 30s), and explained that four squares is enough for any pee or poop if you repeatedly fold it correctly and use care. She won't have it, so she is banned from my potty.

Four squares only. I use like .... 10 squares to go pee . Speaking of toilet paper true story TODAY, the entire roll fell in the toilet. Entire roll WASTED. My fiance dropped the entire roll last week, thats 2 rolls

@TheHorse I double wrap my tissue paper to go pee. If I had to go potty ,that's another story. Yes we have the little roller, but got lazy to use it because you have to squeeze the roller then put the toilet paper in, squeeze the roller back into place. And when the toilet paper is brand new, its too plush you can't roll the toilet paper easily :P

I had some friends that would go through like 3-4 rolls a day and I used to ask if they were eating it because nobody should go through that many rolls a day it was only 3 people. I don't count how much I actually use and I go visit the bathroom quite often depending on how much liquid I have had to drink that day. We go through about 1/2 rolls a day or every day and a half

@infatuatedbby yes it is a lot of paper a roll a day per person. I think it was that they were just being wasteful and using an excessive amount of paper. I don't know about you but I have had girlfriends that you share a trip to the bathroom with or even a stall at a very busy club etc in my youth and I'm so sorry but you don't need to wrap your hand in toilet paper like you are a boxer taping his hands before a fight to wipe after going pee.

I like to use a lot as well. I don't want to wipe and it soak through and get all over my hand. I always wash my hands when I use the bathroom but it is still gross. In public restrooms I have to layer toilet paper on the seat if they are out of the covers.
