Now say you sit down to produce a stool sample. Then you go to the roll beside you. Obviously if you have a good thickness and quality in your paper, you only need 3 squares and you can break them off together and fold them up into one triple-thick square. That's not what I'm asking your opinion on. If I was, that would be a pretty short discussion.

My questions to everybody are: how much wiping is enough? You of course use another 3 squares for every swipe but how many swipes should it take? How many does it usually take you? How do you know when you've got it all? Is it acceptable to have just a little bit of fecal matter left hanging from(by hairs or just a chocolate drop) or tracing the rim of your anus?

My philosophy is that until you can stop saying to yourself, "Great Scott! Thank God I didn't stop when I could have!" you are not done wiping.

Opinions, please.

Everyone:

Everybody will please note that I used medical terms and euphemisms when necessary so as not to offend any prick-me-dainties who may find this while looking for something to be offended by. Please do not use any foul language on my thread. Please share your opinion in a polite if frank manner as I have demonstrated.

Rather interesting way to ask this question, I actually laughed on the inside while reading through it.

Have no idea how to answer this, but I'll try. 
Like you said, I usually get three pieces of TP per wipe. I stop when I get the feeling that I've gotten it all. Which almost always is correct.
You could also look at the TP if chocolate doesn't scare you and see how much still came off.

...I'm so embarrassed right now >-<

Furret :   No, don't be embarrassed at all. I think everybody looks; just to see how much you got and thereby doing you estimate how much might be left there. That was what I was alluding to with my philosophy of looking at the triple-thick square and being able to not say to yourself that you are glad you kept going.

It's not like we can just squeeze our cheeks together to determine how much is there. Nobody has a posterior that sensitive.

Also, the philosophy that you are always correct and thus never wrong is a little scary when you think of what you could be leaving in your pants if you never second guessed yourself.

Thank you for being my first responder. Cool points to FunnyFurret. You are still a pretty funny guy.

Good question.

Hmm... I guess around three "handfuls". I don't count the sheets but that usually gets the thing done.

Brigand :   No no no. You are making your reply posts too fast and not taking the time to read through the thread post. I wasn't asking how many squares. I thought I made that clear.

My questions were in the second paragraph of my discussion starter. I will repeat and possibly rephrase some for your benefit.

How much "wiping" is enough? How many times do you usually do a chocolate-flavoured plush-paper swipe on yourself before the job is done? How many should it take? How do you know when it's all gone? And lastly, is it at all acceptable to have just a tiny little rosebud hanging out or flecks attached to hairs or a frosting around the rim of your anus when you leave the restroom?

Please think about it this time. And as always be polite and avoid foul language as I have.

Postman3 :

Oh, sorry. I read it all but I misunderstood.

If I understood it right well four. Averagely. Per swipe. I know it is enough because I take a look at it. And well, hopefully not. Since if it gets stuck there, it only will make a mess later, doesn't it?

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! The answer is 23 because it is.

p.S: BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA CHOCOLATE DROPPINGS!!!!!! CANT BREATHE!!!

 Rather strange question. I personally do it until the paper comes out mostly clean. Just be sure to wipe more carefully if you have a bad case of diarrhea as it tends to soil more that the usual region of wiping

I always make sure that I've wiped off all the way before leaving the restroom. I couldn't possibly feel comfortable walking around if I didn't feel like I wiped off all the way.

What the hell kind of question is this?  How much wiping is needed?  All of it.  Close the thread, we're done here.

No. It is going to stay open so that people may continue to register their opinions by answering the questions I have posited.

I believe this is a very important hygiene issue that must be seen and responded to by as many people as possible.

gamerforlifeforever2 : That's good. You should be comfy when you are walking around.

janus : Yeah. Diarrhea. That's another issue that we can discuss here. What would the original toilet paper usage be multiplied by if the person had diarrhea? Of course, it may depend on the severity of the condition. If it was a bad case of diarrhea like you said, I am thinking the TP factor would be 10. Thank you. Perhaps a survey can be opened up somewhere to tally up what everyone has to say about that.

Postman3 : Yes it would depend on the severity. During season changes - when cities usually rinse out their aqueduct network and make the water smell like chlorine - my digestive system hates it and it becomes pretty liquid. However, the wiping factor doesn't seem to increase that much since "liquidness" seems easier to wipe.

But just it case, flush the toilet a few times to avoid clogging it.

Wipe. Look. Still brown? If so, repeat until not brown. Simple
