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!

I don't worry about it, I just really don't like it when it happens. I can't help it. Must have had a bad experience as a child. If only my own Mum had taught me at an early age to put toilet paper down first.

I did, and I also explained that she is quite shy and gets easily embarrassed about 'personal' things.

I wouldn't say it was an over reaction.....I would say it was a very strange thought that I could resent her because she's heavy handed with loo roll. I have read the whole thread again and still can't fathom where you got that idea from.

If she's too shy of you to accept or ask for help then maybe buying her a box of special wet wipes may work well explaining they will help her and stop the need for using too much paper that will block the loo.

She may like the attention and getting something bought just for her and not be embarrassed at all.

When I'm in a cubicle I also put a couple of sheets down first not only to prevent splashback with no 2 but to make less noise with no1 or no2.

I don't get this. Ok, perhaps for a number 2, but why wouldn't you want anyone else knowing you're having a wee, in a toilet, that's meant for having a wee in?#

There was a girl in my old office who did this, I just thought she was weird.

I'd forgotten about the noise reduction benefits! Me thinks the argument has been won :-).

Really, it's never crossed my mind to need to reduce the noise. :eek:

So I guess none of you ever go down (or up) a floor at work, so that you are on "strange" or "foreign" territory and won't have to face your colleagues after smells or noises.


I wonder if it's an age thing?

When I worked I would think it a luxury to have time to go to the toilet, worrying about smells and sounds wasn't an issue!

I was just thinking that being relaxed about bodily functions may be to do with our line of work. When you spend time dealing with other people's its pretty silly to get hung up about your own!

The people using lots more than 2/3 sheets; are you using a big bunch all at once (in which case most of the sheets will just be in your hand and not touch the area being cleaned, thus unnecessary) or wiping, then getting more and wiping again (and again, and again?). I'd think it was unusual to have that much 'mess' to clean up on a normal day!

I think I'll keep a log (no pun intended) on my whiteboard for the next week. I'll do a column for both of us, and tally up in 7 days!

I scrunch mine up, wipe, then fold it over on itself and wipe again, and do that a third time. For a wee that's enough, but for a poo I will need to do the same thing again, till I get a clean wipe so I know i'm clean.

At teh moment i do use more than usual because I'm pregnant and things get, shall we say, quite moist down there
