    If you use a lot of toilet paper do what I do...wipe a few times then flush. Then wipe some more and flush again....ad nauseum. If you put the paper down in one go the toilet will get blocked so I always end up flushing a bit of paper at a time. In Cyprus you can't put paper down the loo. A bin is provided to put your used paper in there! I thought eeewww, but funnily enough you get used to it.

    I did this once at my OH's house not long ago actually I think it was too much loo roll he goes mad at me for it :( He told me to only use 5 squares I use more than that!! lol Men eh!

    I mean how can a woman only use 5 squares!! It's rare that I do a number two when I'm at his house and I stay there from a friday till a sunday night and I don't have one in all that time (I just can't go) :(

    Steph xx


    Geeez... I bet you've got potential for blocking your own loo when you get back!.... (Keep a knife handy, to cut it up...lol)

    5 Squares, how mean, I at least use 8 to 10 times 2 or 3 times for a No.2

    many years ago now I went on holiday to Rhodes and we were told that only what had been through us could go down the loo. A bin was provided and the landlady washed it out regularly. I was terrified of the consequences should I forget and block the loo with paper.
    I went for two weeks.
    Even NOW 18 years later if there is a bin in the bathroom I have to remind myself it's NOT for used loo roll!

    5 sheets of toilet paper should be absolutely plenty unless you have mega-diarrhoea in which case the best way is a double-flush anyway ...
    Most women use FAR too much tp

    A bloke who likes a clean bum like, but a bloke nonetheless ;) :P
