How can I ration toilet roll??

I did actually read that somewhere. I hadn't realised that before, so I try not to do it too often, just in public toilets.

Don't do it at all, there's absolutely no need. The bits of a person that actually touch the toilet seat are likely to be far cleaner than their hands, arms or face. They've been washed/showered then kept under clothes all day!

Have you ever heard of someone picking up a nasty bug from using a toilet seat correctly?

I did specify splash back concern related to solid deposits only. Impressive outcome for pelvic floor exercises if it could be achieved with a wee.

Happy to sit on a public loo seat or touch toilet door handles, etc. Skin is an excellent barrier to germs. Have no desire to be splashed in my delicate parts by water which may contain remnants of previous deposits. Eww. You wouldn't drink it, why would you want it to splash you down there? Girls are just more exposed down there, it's the physical difference I was referring to.

BTW, I'm in the "two sheets only is impossible" camp.

Those on the "less is more" side of this will no doubt shoot me down for this one, but I taught my children to put a couple of bits of loo roll down first when going for a poo, to prevent any splashes of toilet water on their bottoms. Essential for this to be second nature for when using public toilets, especially for girlsl :-).

Yeah, I do that too lol (more than a couple of sheets). No wonder I get through so much

I really do think that's the OCD side of me though.

I'd hazard a guess that she meant it was 'more important for girls' because girls have to sit down wereas men can stand up to pee. Although, I never sit down on public toilets, it's more of a hover! :rotfl:

Also, regarding the two sheets for a number 2, I can't believe it either, I wouldn't have thought it was possible! I have no reason to doubt anyone, and I believe what you say is true, but....:eek:

Don't believe this either. You would just NOT be able to get yourself properly clean!

And as topdaddy says, I wouldn't want to be in very close vicinity to anyone who has a poo and only uses 2 little sheets of toilet paper. And I absolutely would NOT shake hands with them! :eek:

Just counted eleven sheets used for a number two. Was average type don't think I would ever use less but definitely often need to use more.:D

Two sheets may be enough if you only break wind!:rotfl: This threads evolution is cracking me up.

Honestly, the things people will invent to worry about, never ceases to amaze me. There is no danger, don't give your girls a complex, please!

This is now just so damn sad of me, I 'checked' how much I use this morning.
And its an impressive 9 sheets for a tinkle. This is tmi however, I wrap it round my hand. And 2 x 6 for the other.
No idea why the discrepancy in that.
Also tmi, I sometimes use much more for the other cos I have unreliable bowels.
Oh and at work they have tiny little thin and wispy single paper towel things and I know I use 10 for a number 1. I tried 7 and that was too thin , so I progressed to 10.

It isn't the thought of catching anything that worries me, it's more to do with what might have been splashed on the seat throughout the day by numourous people. Even though it might have been wiped away, I'd still be sitting on various peoples pee and poo splashes (maybe I'll start carrying some anti bac wipes?), and as I suffer from OCD, the thought makes me feel sick.

You say they've been washed/showered, and for the majority of people this is true, but there's still some truely dirty folk out there who's backside probably hasn't seen water in a month of Sundays....and I for one am not sitting where those bums have been!

Like I say, it possibly could be related to having OCD. Although, most of my friends and family admit to doing the same thing.

That amused me greatly! :rotfl:

I wonder if it's possible to buy the toilet paper that comes in individual sheets, rather than rolls, that you find in some public toilets? Just bring that out before your DSD arrives, for the duration of her visit? Or is that going too far?!
