How Much Is Too Much?!

Toilet Paper Roll

Dear blogers, I haven't been bloging much lately due to my extreme work load. However, its time for a breather now, and I'm trying to squeeze in this article. A few friends of mine were in a rather strange conversation about our usage of toilet papers, this got me into an idea to discuss about this in blogland to hear opinions from more.

We all use toilet papers for many purposes, I'm referring to its main usage, to clean yourself up after whatever business you need to do in the toilet. So using how much toilet paper at a time is considered to be using too much? Do you normally keep track of how many papers do you pull at a go? I would normally pull 2 to 3 sheets each time. Some of my female friends disagree claiming it is too little. We all agree that there may be a tendency for females to use more. However, I am not referring to the total use of it during each visit to the toilet, but everytime when you pull from the roll. I would like to hear what is your opinion on this matter, the acceptable length, and whether do you keep track of how much you pull each time.

LOL! Interesting conversation. I say the acceptable length depends on the person using it. Everyone is different. ;-)

Have a good week.

I know I use too much toilet paper. By the way, I am a female. I mention that because my first name, Carver, confuses some people. I've had blogging friends be surprised when they realize I'm a woman. I use A LOT more than 2 to 3 sheets at a time.

Hah! As much as I try to be 'green' with everything I do in my life, I seem to be having a hard time being green with toilet papers. I must admit that while I don't keep track of how much I use at one time, I know I use more than what is necessary.

I say use as much as you need. We can't impose on the amount of toilet paper a person needs.

Norwich Daily Photo is back online. Sorry I've been away so long. I look forward to your visit and your comments. See you soon!

I don't think I think about it, but I dare say I must use about six to twelve squares depending on, shall we say, circumstances. I don't buy the cheapest brand, though. The cheap stuff is another story. Worst fear: clogging someone else's toilet with too much TP. So I'm careful. Neurotically careful to stay in the 6-12 range.

Hahaha....I guess most females use more. I dont keep track of mine..hehehe. Also it depends of what business you are doing in the toilet and if you have a diarrhoea or not...lol.

8.

Green schmeen! It is ever so much more important to be clean.

How do you load the paper though? I must have the TP dispense off the top. When I see them rolling from underneath, it drives me bananas.

I've been thinking about that too. (Are we normal? *L*) I use as little as possible because I do think about the enviroment in all areas of my life. But I AM a woman so I guess I use more than a man with the same "saving the earth"-goals.

my honest opinion: to use what you think is sufficient for yourself. More importantly our usage differs accordingly with regards to various needs- by which gender plays a role as well.

I agree with joy that you cannot impose the correct amount of TP a person should use.
