Hey! I use one towel to dry myself after a shower and wash weekly! It's the same concept as a hand towel - you're clean when you wipe, so the towel says clean.
As a female, I think it is essential (having a shorter urethra to start with and thus more prone to urinary tract infections) to avoid cross-contamination. So I have been taught to use separate pieces* (*folded strips of two to four) of clean toilet paper when wiping, and to wipe directionally from front to back. And it's important to for me to fold the toilet paper after each wipe so that a clean area is used to get myself progressively cleaner and cleaner. Sometimes, when the need arises, I use more than one piece.
As a nurse, I have spoke to female patients about the importance of wiping front to back and the reason to avoid cross-contamination. So in females, I think there's a "norm" for toilet manners.
I've heard that it's possible for females to pee standing up, but I find it easier to sit. However, if I'm peeing in a public toilet, I crouch with myself just inches off the seat without touching the seat. Afterwards, I use my foot to push down on the flusher. If I'm pooing in a public toilet, I put layers of toilet paper all over the seat and then sit down.
Oh man! Ruby! I actually included the comment about towels because of a conversation I had previously had with d. You see, he prefers to use many many towels, like I do, but that you don't. He said that he was planning on secretly amassing a store of towels, ha ha ha! I was wondering whether you would come forward, and you did! And why not: what you do seems like a reasonable habit to me (just not one I subscribe to).
Hey yeah! Ladies: you're risk in terms of cross-contamination must be an ever present concern. In the case of boys like me, there really isn't much to worry about.
Hovering: girls do this. I don't know, it seems like a lot of work, and especially when the European style toilet is so carefully designed to be a comfortable place to sit and think while you shit and stink. I Japan though: squaty-potties! While not the norm any more, they certainly do show up persistently.
