I use too much, I bundle it up, when I blot myself dry after peeing, if it is to wipe after pooping, I know I use way to much, and as per another girl who answered here, during my period my use a little extra as well. So, while I don't count squares, I replace the roll 2-3 times per week at home, but my husband is also using the same toilet, at work, I am sure they replace those rolls a few times per day.
Interesting. Why bundle the TP up? How would you feel if you used less (or none at all), and why?
Interesting fetish, TP. I could use less, just a habit, using none, never happen.
Oh? What does it feel like to go without wiping?
This maybe TMI but depending on my time of the month my TP use will vary. Typically, I don't go overboard with TP. I make sure I'm clean, with as little TP use as possible - I live with 4 other people, so TP is important to try to save.
During my period, I tend to use more. This is because i have a greater volume of liquid I need to clean up.
I do that too
I appreciate your perspective. So you know, I don’t think that anything would truly be TMI given that I’m simply not female, ai don’t know what’s actually involved (or factors that affect potential bathroom habits), and I can’t know anything unless it’s shared. It’s not an easy topic for me to ask about, but I’ve had a strong curiosity about this (and what’s involved) for a while without the opportunity to learn more about such things. Share what you’d like. Thanks.
@insatiable_curiosity trying to learn whats inside a women's mind...
She said it best.
@5points2gspot Always. I find it fascinating how simple things may be drastically different between males and females. There are so many things I'd want to know, and questions I'd want to ask, but embarrassment may get in the way.
Agreed
I wish there were a GAG category for "Question Just Blew My Mind."
I never thought about this. I grew up in a house with seven people--five guys and two girls (me and my mom). Mom and dad shared a bathroom in their bedroom. My four brothers shared rooms each with its own bathroom 'til my oldest brother went away to college. I always had my own room in the basement. More of a suite. In college, I lived in a dorm and all of us on the same floor (girls) used the same giant bathroom with individual stalls. I've never, ever thought about this question. I just fold, pat dry, flush & wash. Maybe 8 single-ply squares to dry? I JUST realized guys don't have to do this!!! So you must go through TP MUCH slower, huh?
We're often so used to life being how it is for us that we may lose sight of how it may be drastically different for another. The concept of needing to wipe after peeing seems... sad. I have no clue what it's actually like for you, but I know that I wouldn't want to require this extra task each and every time I peed. Then again, what do you think it'd be like if you could pee and be done with it all (other than washing your hands) without needing to use TP or worrying about making a mess?
@insatiable_curiosity I've always been curious about the shake n go thing men do when they pee... Does it bother u to feel ur after drops of any dripping into the under garments? I mean does that happen to every guy? I have always made my past relationships use TP for that reason.. No one ever told me other wise or stopped me. They just did it.. So does pee dripelts drop?
@5points2gspot LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLZ!!! "after drops" and "drippings"!!! Girl, you didn't just use those words!! My sides hurt from laughing so hard!!!
You should ask it. I would like to know too 😂
@5points2gspot Interesting. Then again, that demonstrates a more dominant role in your relationships with requirements focused upon this act. I'm curious to know why this was important to you and what was involved.
To answer your question, physics works quite well. The centripetal forces caused by our "shake" is quite effective. Generally, we (men) will combine a couple types of "shakes" to rid our urethras of any excess urine. Simply shaking up and down (although it's really on an angular curve) will typically suffice. If doubt remains, simply raising the penis (toward the abdomen) and quickly lowering it (traveling in an arc toward the legs) with an abrupt stop at the end will get out the rest.
A guy with prostate issues, STIs, or other conditions may have some residual urine, but this is not the norm for most guys. Typically, there wouldn't be any utility in using TP at a man's urethral meatus.
@5points2gspot Just as I wouldn't truly understand what's actually involved for you (a female) when you urinate (or wipe), I wouldn't expect for you (or other females) to know what it's like for guys. You won't learn unless you ask, so I applaud your curiosity.
As for looking, not really. Depending on many factors (the type/size of the urinal, the respective heights/builds of each man, how each guy is positioned, etc.), we’ll occasionally make out the outline of the other guy’s penis for a brief moment. This tends to happen when one/both guy (s) are approaching, shaking at, or leaving the urinal.
There’s urinal etiquette.
This said, plenty of us have sexually experimented with other guys (especially during youth), but we may never tell a soul. It’s quite common. However, this curiosity tends to exist outside of the bathroom.
It's normal to wonder about things. There are many things that I wonder about with girls but am too embarrassed to ask. You're free to ask anything you'd like, so why not make use of the opportunity?
I'm curious to know what things girls might explore with each other. It's not something I'd normally hear about.
As for guys, we definitely do explore with each other (especially when young). I can say that with the guys that I had sleepovers with as a kid, the majority of them pursued some type of sexual experimentation with me (not that it'd happen during every sleepover), and the minority of guys did not. You might be surprised at what boys can come up with and are willing to try with each other when they're curious and not restrained by preconceived notions of what may be seen as being taboo. Further, I do not know that any of the guys that I experimented with as a kid (sexually) wouldn't consider themselves as anything but heterosexual now. These things happened mostly out of a curiosity about our bodies (and those of others with whom we'd have the chance to experiment), as well as what we could do with our bodies (manipulating them in unconventional ways), and not from a romantic interest in each other. I believe that it's rather common, and I'd bet that guys who have NOT experimented in some way with another guy (as a kid) are likely in the minority. Getting a guy to admit to doing any of this is a whole different story. You'd have to get rid of stigmas before many would acknowledge such things.
I must admit that I don't generally discuss such things with real life female friends (mostly due to fear and embarrassment), so I haven't really gotten into this topic with other girls before. However, I've had similar curiosities about how other girls experiment/explore with each other and what was involved.
3 sheets only unless roll has come to the end then if its uneven like 4 or 5 sheets left then I'll either save the two sheets for next time or I use more sheets then what is normal for me on this one occasion.
I am used to living with guys not much experience living with chicks so its interesting reading all the answers here! As far as I am aware men only use it when pooping otherwise they wash thier thing at the sink towel dry and off about thier day. Yh so I stopped using that towel! Don't know if all guys do this although you aren't the only one who was curious...
Interesting. Say that you've left two sheets for yourself to use next time, and that's what you come back to. How do you feel only using two sheets, and why? Since you live with others, how would you feel if you came back to discover (after starting to pee) that you had nothing left on the roll?
Typically, men shake their penises after peeing to rid themselves of excess urine and don't wash their penises off at the sink. It would be very inefficient if we had to wash them off, let alone use a towel to dry them afterward, so you should be safe to use the hand towel as you previously had.
I see you're commenting about not wiping. I'm not sure you're aware, but it's really unhealthy for women not to. Bacteria can lead up to urinary tract infections and some yeast infections too. UTIs are pretty common for women, and also pretty painful. And if you don't wipe the back it will also lead to infections since for women everything is pretty close to each other.
Anyway I personally think not wiping is not hygienic and pretty gross. Plus I wouldn't want to stain any of my pretty underwear. I sometimes use wipes, just makes you extra clean. I try not to use too much toilet paper.
It' definitely much easier being male in this respect. How much TP might one use typically?
Like 4-5 squares of tp each time folded up. If the bathroom's out of toilet paper and it was just a piss, fuck it I'll just pull my pants up and go on with my day. Same if I'm hiking and have to take a piss in the woods, unfortunately I can't just shake it off like a guy so it is what it is. I'd rather be able to use at least a little toilet paper each time because it's much more comfortable to be dry down there.
Interesting. How does it feel when going without?
That’s a great analogy. How girls pee when hiking is something I’ve been curious about. Which direction does it go when you squat, and how do you keep from peeing on your clothes?
I squat and only pull my pants down to maybe mid thigh and then hold them forwards and up so they're out of the way. I think you know the difference between an aiming pee and a dribble pee, so if you just force it out quick and make it an aiming pee, it goes mostly straight down so as long as I don't stand sideways on a slant or anything, it doesn't get on my clothes or shoes.
Really now? I appreciate your willingness to help me visualize what actually happens a little better. I can’t say that I know how urine might come out differently when it’s “dribbling” versus otherwise besides what I assume is a difference in force applied? How easy/difficult is it to “aim,” and would you likely pee on your clothes if you didn’t pull them forward/up?
I appreciate the insight you’ve given me.
Depends on if I'm on my monthly or not. If I'm not I'd say about 10 sheets of toilet paper. There's no telling whenever it's the latter lol. Just depends on what happened but usually about a sixth of the tp... Sad to admit but dire times need drastic solutions. 😓
LOL, how might it be different if you used less?
Let's see I would have to change my pad (I'm NOT going to try the other) way more and it would be an uncomfortable feeling because blood doesn't soak in the moment it touches the pad so yuck. Also, blood all over the toilet seat and yeah it would just be a mess that part of the month.
That's understandable during that time of the month, but how might things be different if using less when after peeing otherwise?
Eh, I drink plenty of water. Less than half of Americans are hydrated like they are supposed to be everyday. So it's basically just using 2 squares each time. The supposedly 'normal' amount for each use. Limiting it would definitely cause infections. And nobody wants to deal with that. What about you? How much toilet paper do you use a day?
First, you're absolutely correct about hydration. Further, Americans typically confuse thirst for hunger. This is partly to blame for why some may eat and eat yet continue to feel "hungry."
Two squares sounds like a reasonable amount. As a male, I don't need to wipe after peeing.
Oh I forgot about the snake it off and go thing. And I doubt any guys do it in public urinals because based off of that the guestimation is that all if not most men do just what you said. But I doubt it gets your privates any cleaner than just wiping it off.
Given that I’ve peed next to countless men over the years, I can tell you that guys indeed shake to get it out. This action can be seen in one’s peripheral vision.
2-3 squares. It’s funny bc the times my dad has left town and it’s just been us girls at home, we never replace the roll. My dad is a tissue fiend. But yes. I use more during my period because it’s not like I can take a shower every time I use the bathroom. It’s an icky feeling and you can never feel clean enough.
That's interesting. Others make it sound like so much more is necessary, and I don't know why. How is what you do different from what they might do (and why the discrepancy in how much girls use)? Do you feel like you and the other "girls" at home were brought up using a small amount?
If you use too much you’ll clog the toilet. We always used too much as kids.
What would be considered too much, and why do you think some girls use more than others?
funny question... but yeh it makes the mind boggle, I dont use much but have seen how quickly the roll vanishes after some have been visiting... lol... to me that means I dont use much compared to them!
I have been in situations where I have been out bush and when you must go, you must go! so squatting to pee with out the loo paper can work too... abit of shake here and there does the job! lol
Really? Many have made it seem like a lot of TP is needed simply for wiping. I had wondered what it was like if no TP was available. Then again, I don't know how practices may be different between different females.
depends how messy you are when you pee or if you know how to do it without getting it everywhere. Maybe that comes from my camping background when I was younger.
Yeh, not sure why peeps use a lot of loo paper, it only clogs up the toilet if too much is used. I dont go by the amount of sqaures of loo paper I use, a couple of rolls around off the roller and that suffices the job... lol...
If the peeps use half a roll to wipe their pee, I wonder how many serviettes one uses to wipe their mouth after they have eaten? :))
It's interesting how we use different terms/slang (between the US and Australia). Given that I'm not female, I wouldn't know what amount feels comfortable or normal for you to use for wiping. How much of a difference have you noticed in TP use between other females and yourself (even if simply by how quickly a roll is used), and why might it be that way?
What can a female do to affect how "messy" it might be? How do you feel your camping background affected how much you typically use?
I just recently thought of this. I use a 12 pack of Cottonelle every 2 weeks (I drink a lot of water and want to make sure I’m clean).
So I’m thinking of getting a 24 pack of Angel a Soft because those had lasted me two months (there are more sheets on the roll and more rolls in the package).
If it makes any difference, I get the double rolls (so Cottonelle says 12 but is supposedly 24 and AngelSoft 48).
How do different toilet papers compare to each other? Alright, so if you drink a lot of water (which is good for you anyway) and go through a 12 pack of Cottonelle every 2 weeks, how many times a day are you typically urinating, and how many squares of TP do you use each time when you wipe?
It's not like I count the squares! Or use then as squares even. I use way too much I don't want pee to go through it when I'm wiping. I guess I wrap it around my hand a couple of times and pull it off and that's usually my toilet roll amount for one pee wipe
Is it typical to wrap it around the hand? I didn’t know if TP was folded and held, wadded up, or used in another way (such as wrapping it around your hand like you mentioned). It may sound dumb, but if you wrap it around your hand, do you wipe with both sides of your hand?
What no i just wrap it around as a quick way to getting it oss the roll. It's not wrapped around my hand when I'm wiping
Oh, I don't really know how a girl "wipes" to know.
High toilet paper use is a weird pet peeve of mine. I use two squares each time. I fold the paper so it's one square, then fold it over again, and again until I'm clean. I use the same every time unless I'm on my period. If I had to use no toilet paper, I would feel really uncomfortable sitting.
For clarification, are you saying that you use a total of 2 squares of TP to perform any/all necessary wiping or that you wipe using 2 squares of TP at a time and repeat multiple times after peeing?
From much of what other females have alluded, it sounds like many use a significant amount of toilet paper (at least enough such that most responses don’t state any specific quantity and are rather vague/ambiguous regarding how much might be used). Why do you think this is? Given you’re female, are such quantities necessary? I had hoped to get a better idea of the amount used, but now I’m less clear on the subject. Is there truly that much of a difference between how different females wipe, and if so, why?
A total of 2 squares for only urine. If wiping once or twice with the folded paper is not enough, I will fold over the same paper again and wipe on the dry side. I think many people use quite a bit for comfort. I will admit I do use a bit more in public restrooms because it's usually one ply and I don't want to get any urine on my hands in that instance. When I'm home, I don't need to be as cautious about not getting any urine on my hands because the sink is right next to me, and I'm going to wash. This much toilet paper is not needed whatsoever. There is a difference between how women wipe. It isn't talked about. We're just taught that you need to go front to back. Since my sister has moved in, she goes through 6 rolls in about 1.5 weeks. It's absolutely insane. It got to the point where I told her she would need to buy her own toilet paper. Personally, I can go through a Costco sized toilet paper package (30 2 ply rolls for about $20) in about a year. Toilet paper waste is sad to me. We shouldn't have to go through so much waste per person. That's why I've tried to go green as much as I can with period products, plus it saves toilet paper.
Why do some women seem to use so much? You mentioned that women wipe differently from each other, but how/why do they wipe differently? What would be the differences between what you and your sister might normally do?
Roughly 3 squares with great quality TP. A tad more when I’m menstruating, which lasts no more than a day and a half bc I’m a bit fit. My daily panty liners catch my light bodily juices... I hate wasting.
How would different types/qualities of TP affect how much you use? Is it common to use a panty liner daily, and if so, why?
The sheets are thicker, of course. Prob equivalent to 8 low quality squares of TP.
I don’t know how common it is for the average girl to wear panty liners, but some manufacture seems to think so if they keep selling them. I like to feel clean and dry and odorless all day. Undetectable, easily disposable, adhesive sticking panty liners that move with me is where it’s at. Oh, yes! and they also offer thong-shaped ones. 🖤
But the abuse of wasted TP does tend to happen just as bad as liquid soap use. That’s why some parents resort to foam soap.
Again, more than I had considered. Do you feel/notice your panty liner? How might you feel if you didn't use one? Is it common for most girls to regularly use panty liners?
I can understand how a thicker/greater-ply TP would be different, but does the texture matter?
Softer and stronger and thicker JUST FEELS NICER
Do you ever feel raw from using too much or using lower quality TP?
I don't really know anything about panty liners, why they're used, when, or anything else.
If you treat your body like a dry erase board.
When it comes to the act of wiping, I plot. In a downward motion, gently but firmly. The quality of TP is insignificant if you have good technique.
Interesting. I assumed that girls simply wiped (rather than plotting or some other method), and I wondered how much friction would occur. What makes for a good technique?
I wipe-plot. Kinda like a massage therapist performs effleurage with one hand and twist your skin with the other. It’s two techniques combined into one.
Always in a downward motion to prevent a UTI.
Given I’m familiar with effleurage, that helps me understand a little better. I was curious to know how hard one presses upon her skin (or inward, especially with mucous membranes) and whether this causes any significant friction or irritation?
The downward motion is understandable, but something I don’t know is if wiping (and/or plotting) is performed just within the labia or if it is performed outside of that region? I’m not sure how urine might travel for a woman and whether or not it’s easily contained.
Considering how much pressure I use to pee will determine where it aims. Too much pressure will go somewhat side ways and spray wide if I had to really go. Sometimes I have to stop and tilt my pelvic down a bit and pee slower for better aim, as to not pee all over the place.
Really now? Can you tell how it will come out/where it will go depending on how hard you push? Does it typically come out as a spray, a stream, or what? I don't know how much aim a woman can have with this.
Huh? So you only have your monthly for a day and a half at most? Are you sure your not on birth control? And honestly being fit doesn't do anything to change your menstruation process nor being fat so I don't know if that's what your trying to say. I'm both fit and overweight dunno how to explain but I've got muscles but I'm really curvy to the point where it's called chubby. I'm sorry for asking all of this but your comment just made me wonder.
@SuzuBrooke Those are fair questions.
The female hormones estrogen and progesterone are important for overall body health. These hormones also regulate a woman's periods. Intense exercise and extreme thinness can reduce the levels of these hormones enough to prevent or stop monthly menstrual cycles. Sometimes my weight fluctuates and whenever I gain weight, my flow is heavier..
I wouldn’t necessarily say I’m thin, but I’m pretty active with little fat.
I say I'm more active then most people. Or girls. But to be exact I've had the heaviest most painful period out of all the people I talk to and exercising doesn't help it a bit so I'm guessing our bodies are wired differently in that way.
Although you are right about what you stated, from a physiological standpoint, it is NOT normal for a woman to stop having periods after starting (secondary amenorrhea). You mentioned multiple key conditions that affect the change in sex hormones (of which estrogen and progesterone are two that notably play a dancing act and regulate a woman’s endometrial lining/the shedding of it). By far, the most common cause for secondary amenorrhea is pregnancy. However, a thorough work up is necessary to assess for other potential causes (which can include other conditions such as thyroid dysfunction as well).
@SuzuBrooke Yes, women’s bodies are different from each other. If you’re having issues, I suggest discussing them with your healthcare provider. AUB (Abnormal Uterine Bleeding) is more common than you might think.
I mean they haven’t stopped but they’re light.. maybe I do have something internally wrong with me. Maybe an under active thyroid? I had no idea that could be why
But I have other reasons why I think I may have a thyroid issue..
A thyroid disorder is only one of many potential causes of AUB. The more common issues involve dysfunctions within the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Ovarian axis.
Oh, why is that?
Hair loss, was tired all the time. Maybe stress
Both are potential causes. This said, hyperthyroidism can manifest as stress/anxiety as well.
Mhmm.
Nonetheless, I’d urge you to contact your healthcare provider if these are concerns of yours. Neither I, nor others, can appropriately diagnose/evaluate/treat you through this medium.
Thanks, wasn’t trying to get a diagnosis here anyways, lol
LOL, you never know? There are so many here who seek such things. What’s sad is the inaccurate information that’s passed along. Some things are simple misinformation or myths. What’s scary is that incorrect/dangerous medical advice may be passed along and I worry that others may actually follow what’s said with detrimental effects.
Yeah, if I don’t go to the doctor, I’m not just gonna believe one thing I read in the issue. I hardcore research.
That’s where people get in trouble (when they turn to Dr. Google).
True.
How do you know what's "true" if you "hardcore research?" Without medically accurate information or the appropriate context to know what's involved/not involved, such things could be quite misleading.
It depends, did I just get 3 inch acrylic overlays on my nails? Then I use a lot to keep from messing up my manicure,
That makes sense, but I still don’t know how much you, or other females, typically use in various situations.
Why you planning on moving your girlfriend in and your worried about household expenses? Got a be a cheap bastard if that's the reason and I really can't figure what other reason one might need this knowledge but good luck on your inquiry.
I’m merely curious. We take certain things for granted. Activities that may be commonplace for one may be entirely foreign to another. I had been shy to ask.
Using this meme as a guide, I use the mit or the wad, depending
Craziness! I would have never known about how it might be held if not for you!
The Origami Crane seems highly unlikely, but it's cute.
Yes, a great one!
I use a good generous amount because as a female I got more to wipe also I wouldn't like if I had to use ess because I wouldn't feel like I was as clean much and I'm pretty shore no one wants to not use any at all.
What would be considered a generous amount? How would using less make you feel less clean? What is it like to use none at all?
Interesting. These aren’t easy things to imagine given the lack of experience. For us (guys), it is so easy to shake and let centripetal force get rid of any excess urine quickly and without worry.
When wiping (as a female), is there a certain number of squares of TP that you feel is necessary to hold when wiping? How would wiping differ if you hypothetically used TP one square at a time versus using multiple? Also, how does the softness/roughness/sturdiness of the TP affect how much you’d use, and why?
How likely is TP to break? How hard does it need to be pushed/pulled to clean/dry oneself?
How hard does one have to press inward to get the job done and feel clean/dry?
Usually 5-6 squares and I fold after I wipe and wipe again but it really depends like in the mornings for me sometimes discharge kinda gets in the way too.
Interesting. I hadn't taken that into account (let alone to consider how much you might have depending on the time of day). How would you feel if you tried using less?
Being on your period is understandable. It's more that I don't have to wipe afterward, so the amount of TP used sounds excessive to me since I don't have the same parts to know what's actually necessary.
Very little I think.. I remember I checked during lock down.. and it is like 1 roll per month. For peeing I think I use 2 squares, and not much more for other stuff haha :D
Interesting, that seems to contrast quite a bit with some of the answers here. Why do you think others might use more?
honestly I think I pee and poop very 'efficiently', I also do not bleed a lot during the period so that does not add much. I don't get that dirty from it and so do not need a lot of toilet paper. Probably some use more than necessary just to be sure it is clean, and I risk a little dirt. Though I am cleaning a bit extra when seeing a new guy for example :D
Really? Why/how do you feel that you pee/poop more "efficiently" than others, and why might this be different? How do you change how you clean/wipe when seeing a new guy, and why?
I just use however much it takes to get the mess cleaned up. 3 squares or more is what I do, if it's less then it just means I didn't have much to clean up.
That sounds pretty reasonable. I still don't know why others seem to use so much more. What are your thoughts?
I would feel so gross using none at all but less I could deal with unless it's that time then I'd doesn't matter the gates of hell have opened and I'm protecting you now lol haha
Quite the humorous response. If the gates of hell were closed, and the world was safe for the time being, how much do you typically use each time? Why would you feel so gross without using any?
Because if I don't use any then when I got pee the piddle will get in my panties and dry on me. That can easily give you a rash or sometimes an infection not good. I usually wrap the paper around my hand twice and then wipe then do it again to make sure its definitely good and dry. But women don't just pee they also have their vagina cleaning its self all through out the day. So you have a little discharge. Its never truly dry down there or it would rub together to much and give you a rash. Plus what about when women get turned on which is pure instinct so we can't control it. then they need more because you have to clean that up to
I must admit that I hadn't considered the vaginal discharge factor in the equation. I wouldn't have thought about it if you hadn't mentioned it. Still, why wrap it around your hand than to hold it some other way? Wrapping it around seems like it'd leave a lot of TP unused and discarded unnecessarily.
I use the entire roll. Every time. Jk. But I wouldn't call this "topic" taboo. It's just not something a normal person thinks about all the time lol...
That poor toilet would need a plunger at all times! LOL. It may not be "taboo" for some, but it isn't readily discussed. I wouldn't know about such things unless it was shared.
I wonder if you getting your rocks off these answers lol gross.
You seem to be more interested in that. I've never been female, and I don't know these things.
Because men don't wipe after peeing. I don't know what's involved for you when you pee or wipe, and I don't know if this differs for you each time you go or differs bewteen different girls.
LOL. You’re either facetious or quite unaware of what’s involved for guys when they pee. This may shock you, but WE (men) don’t wipe after peeing. We shake the excess out. Then again, I’m in the opposite situation where I don’t have female parts to know all that happens for girls. Given your views, haven’t you ever wondered why there wasn’t TP next to guy’s urinals?
I don't count the squares. I just go by what I feel is right amount.
Given that I don’t experience the same, I’m not sure how much that might involve? How do you know what feels “right?”
I'm not sure, I just grab some
I didn't know people counted the squares
They may not. I don’t have any good measure from which to learn more. I arbitrarily picked squares of TP. Is the amount used less of a conscious decision?
pretty much
Interesting. I had no idea. How do you know when you’re finally clean/dry?
you can feel it if you're dry or not
This may sound dumb, but how?
Wouldn't you know if your penis is wet?
It’s not the same for us. If moisture was on my penis, yes, I’d feel it. However, when a guy pees, the urine flows out such that we just have to give a few shakes at the end to get any remaining drops out. We don’t need to resort to using TP after urinating.
I'm aware, but you asked how would I know if it was wet. It's like having a wet hand or arm or... anything really
I hear what you’re saying, and it makes sense. I guess that I’m unclear as to whether urine stays between a girl’s labia or ends up outside of it? If urine stays between them, is it easy to feel?
Labia comes in different sizes so I can't speak for other girls. For me, my labia is very small so the urine ends up outside of it and my entire vulva is just wet, so it's easy to tell if I need to wipe some more
I’m not sure how easy that was for you to share, but I appreciate the information since I’m starting to get a better idea of what’s involved. I don’t really know which direction it goes upon coming out (let alone where it travels). You mentioned that this may be variable depending on a girl’s particular anatomy. Is it hard to wipe/clean up if urine is regularly going outside of your labia?
It's not difficult to clean up. It just gets messy depending on what other fluids are involved so sometimes it's just endless wiping, at least for me.
I appreciate the candid responses. If you find yourself having to wipe a lot, does it ever lead to irritation/becoming raw? Ever wish you could pee like a guy and/or didn’t have to wipe afterward?

No, I don't wipe it to the point where it's irritated & definitely, it would be convenient to urinate standing up
Have you ever given it a shot and tried peeing while standing? If so, how’d it go? I guess that the female body can take a lot down there since I previously imagined that a ton of wiping might lead to irritation, an abrasion, or something.
I did when I was 10. It went everywhere, way too messy
Oh yeah? What led you to try it out? Sounds like it would have been quite the scene. Have you tried it again since then to see if you might have better luck?
I knew that guys could urinate standing up so I figured I'd try it. That was the only time I tried it.
How did you learn about how guys peed (at that age)? I’m still curious to know what exactly is involved when a girl simply pees. I don’t know how different things may truly be. I applaud your curiosity and willingness to try it standing. Even if it didn’t go as planned, should you decide to give it another go, I’d be curious to hear about your experience.
I probably just saw it on TV somewhere, I don't really remember
How were things similar to/dissimilar from how you imagined it’d be to try peeing while standing? What could help you be more successful?
I expected to be able to aim it into the toilet, but it went everywhere and I don't know
Were you disappointed? Did you try it again, and if so, did you have any better luck? As a male, being able to aim is something we expect. I think that we’d find it quite unusual if things didn’t go where we expected.
I wasn't disappointed and that's the only time I tried it
Why not try it again?
I just haven't
Why not give it a try and see how it goes? I’d be curious to hear.
I just don't care enough to try
Fair enough. Ever wish you could aim?
I guess
No, seriously! As a guy, I’m used to aiming and would likely find it unusual and disconcerting if I suddenly couldn’t aim!
I don't know
I didn’t know if it was something that even crossed your mind. Do you think you could handle a day without TP/wiping? What are your thoughts?
I’ll just say that I use a lot. Clean freak I guess. I don’t want anything giving off any kind of stinky.
How much is a lot?
1 toilet paper roll every 3-4 days. If i urinate 8x within 18 hours not including #2. Yeah its a lot.
Interesting. Is 8 times the typical number of times you need to go in a day? I hadn’t considered how often one pees. How would you feel if you used less (or none at all), and why?
humans urinate 6-8x a day. if we drink a lot of water up its pretty normal to go up 10x. I don't like the smell if i dont.
That’s understandable. What does it feel like to go without wiping?
I don't know. I've never had to go without wiping
Give it a shot and let us know how it goes.
I'll pass
Do you think it’d truly be that bad? If so, why?
I prefer to use a ridiculous amount. Sometimes I try to cut back but it never lasts. I would guesstimate at least a roll every other day.
Why is that? Why feel the need to use as much as you do? How often do you try to cut back, how much of a change is there when you “cut back,” and why do you feel like you should cut back at times? How would you feel if you used less (or none at all), and why?
I just grab a bunch. Toilet paper is something I'd rather use too much of than too little.
Why is that, and how much is a bunch?
I'm usually a 2 or 3 square girl after peeing. There have been a lot of times that I've peed and not wiped.
Why do you think that so many girls seem to use so much TP? Also, what is it like for you not to wipe afterward?
I think most don't think about it.
For me to not wipe isn't a huge deal as long as it is just pee.
Then why wipe if it's not a big deal?
Just what I've been taught
Really? Not being female, I don't have the personal experience to understand. Have you ever tried seeing how long you could go without?
No not really
But why though? It can’t be that you use TP afterward by habit alone, can it?
Wad a whole bunch and only end up using a little bit of it. It's a waste, yet necessary at the same time
Why grab more than you'll use? What's it like if you try using less?
What kind of risk? Why not try, though? If you used less and it was sufficient, you might not use as much as you currently use. If you used less and it wasn't enough, it's not like you couldn't use more to finish wiping, right?
I was talking about wiping after peeing. We both, hopefully, wipe after pooping. However, guys don’t have to wipe after peeing, so that’s what I don’t know about from personal experience.
I have 4 washrooms in my home and I usually go through one roll every 1-12 weeks depending on the washroom cause some are used more than others
A roll every 1-12 weeks? That sounds quite variable. How much do you typically use afterward?
In the washroom all of use the most we go throw a roll every 8-10 days
In the washroom we almost never use we go through a roll ever 12-18 weeks
Given that I don’t know how often you urinate, how does this translate into how many squares you’d generally use after peeing?
Way too much! I can tell you that for sure! My fiancé makes a sarcastic joke about it every now and again too.
LOL, so how much is that then?
Pee fetish... interesting. I have a bidet so my toilet paper use is minimal as I wash with soap and water the majority of the time. Sorry 😐
What is a bidet like to use? Although I’ve come across them occasionally when traveling outside of the country, I haven’t heard about their use. Please elaborate.
