    Nope. You can't see the top of my cistern for packs of the things..scented, unscented.... Asdas own of course, (I am a moneysaver)

    He obviously just !!!!!! and goes.

    But I love him. Hate wash days though. I've learned not to look anymore.

    Sorry but that's disgusting. What are your bed sheets like? And how doesn't he stink?!

    get rid of your toilet roll when he visits and install a bidet instead. if your water bill goes up slower than the price of a bog roll you've achieved MSE :D

    Of course I don't! But I just think it's a very large amount to use in a couple of days.
    .

    So you think one roll is a lot for Fri night to Sunday afternoon? That's nothing. Maybe Op needs to train her boyfriend like a dog, e.g to wipe his bum on the carpet with his legs in the air and pulling himself with his hands.

    I remember reading a poo rag thread on here ( something about families who keep a communal rag for wiping) rather than using loo roll. After reading that I've never complained about loo roll usage since.

    Never? How gross is that? seriously?
    I've heard of people using newspaper when desperate or in wartime etc but not that.
    Are you sure your not thinking of in Roman times?

    What age was she when they stopped having to do this?

    Not sure ... maybe she still does :shhh:

    In fairness she was only about 4 or 5 years old at the time, it was when she started going to the toilet on her own. She was allowed 1 square for a wee and 2 for a poo, I guess an adult would need more ;)

    Is this the 21st century or what?

    So many of you are saying that you live with blokes that don't seem to know how to wipe their own backsides and then more of you talk about how nasty the pants / sheets / skiddies are on washday...

    Eh? Why are you putting up with it? Why are you washing his sh1tty sheets and pants?
    :hello:

    I can't believe this thread, telling people how much loo roll to use is just a step too far! :eek: :rotfl:


    But, looking on Old Style, there are a few threads about the subject. Here is one with a few links to others, including 'wee rags'. :silenced:

    You think that's lucky?!

    He has those Andrex washlets things!
  • After getting sick of people not pulling their weight with the whole buying bog roll thing I just used to buy myself luxury bog roll and take it in with me :p

    Can't say i've ever noticed my bf using that much when he's here..(and he leaves the seat down! :eek: )

    My boyfriend has never (in the time that we have lived together, which is since Aug) left the seat up :eek: it's very impressive!

    We resorted to doing this! Is was getting ridiculous, I'd buy and four pack and it was gone in 2 days!
