A Delicate Subject

How much tissue paper (toilet paper) is used in your household each week?

It seems to me that the rolls have less sheets than ever, requiring putting on a new roll quite frequently, like daily. Of course, I suspect men (including me) use more paper than women. I can certainly see a dual purpose for bidets. It would certainly go easier on underclothes and sheets. Still, even the worst tissue paper is better than leaves, newspaper and corn cobs. I'm glad I never lived in the Middle Ages.

Sorry Lon as i'm a lady, i can't possibly comment on such a delicate subject.

What women do with toilet tissue shall remain a mystery to men for etenity.

It seems to me that not only do the rolls have less sheets, but the sheets are much flimsier.....requiring more sheets....of which there are less.

I agree Shelbell, men just ring it out dont they, lol:yh_rotfl Women need it for both deeds, so to me, i would conclude woman use more then men. We change our rolls every few days, sometimes more, depending if my 2 yr old gets into it.:rolleyes:

Men do use more--------studies have been done at the University of Nevada that show this to be the case. It's due primarily to the fact that men have more hair on their gluteus maximus than females, making cleaning more of a chore.

The cost-effective answer is sold in pharmacies as the euphemistically named "MUD AND MASK REMOVAL SPONGE". It comes with a handle and a curved stick and it's guaranteed for 500 washes.

Some households even have a his and hers.

I'm not sure why anyone would do a study on that! Ewe! :yh_rotfl Men may use more in one "sitting" but women use it for every "sitting". :yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl

Count yourselves lucky, all that posh cushioned comfort stuff is no good at all here, it just gets damp and soggy. My privvy is a hut at the end of the garden.
