I use 4 to 5 since my mother buys those really thin kinds. Sometimes I would unknowingly roll out a little too much but most times I try to stick to 4 or 5. How about you?

Hey, Well we use the really expensive kind of 3 ply toilet paper, so I like to always use about 3 squares of toilet paper, rather than dirty my hand or something like that. I can't stand using the thin 2 ply toilet paper, it is too thin. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

If it's really thin toilet paper I probably use around 10 sheets. I really don't like it when the toilet paper breaks or tears and "things" get on your hands. I have had some real nice toilet paper that is sturdy. I was surprised when I first used it because I only needed 3-4 sheets. I think they should stop making thin toilet paper. It's a waste of trees. It would be better to make the toilet paper thicker so we would use less sheets. It's probably similar to use 10 sheets of thin toilet paper and 3-4 sheets of thick toilet paper.

Very interesting question. I don't think I have ever counted how many square I use. I just pull some off and don't even think of it.

Hey anime! I have never counted how many squares I roll out! I can tell you that it is way more than you do! I just love to roll the roll! It's fun! It's also lucky for me that my boyfriend brings some home from his job because he's always asking me where all the toilet paper goes!

We use double ply at home, so I usually use about 2-3 squares only. I'm particular about it because sometimes the toilet paper runs out really fast!!! So, I try to use just enough.

I'm allergic so I dont use.. I go for baby wipes... But Im actually allergic for it too, and wishing that the water / spray system was common for American toilet plumbing :/ When I could use.. I used about 4 squares. I have seen though, children who were punished for using more than 2 :s

Thats an interesting topic :). I use around the same as you, 4-5 squares. I prefer to roll out a bit more than dirty my hands.
