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
( ... )
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.
Aha! That's another one: when I was a wee lad in high-school I had also decided that wiping pee was a waste of time. Sometimes this resulted in a little spot on the underwear, but really when will that matter? That was my reasoning. However, I went to a party at... somebody's house? once and was greeted at the door by Fei and some folk. I immediately changed into some shorts, because it was a very hot summer, and exposed my underwear to the world. Unfortunately there was a spot, and Fei made it very clear to me that this was unacceptable! (fun fact: this is only one of three times Fei has directly influenced my hygienic routine).
Since then I have thought that the norm must be to wipe pee, but actually last night I was talking about it with Chris and discovered that he doesn't wipe pee either! And now with Frector behind me on this one: optimally efficiency, here I come!
I have a distinct memory of being on the toilet when I was very little and having an aunt there with me, handing me some toilet paper and saying, "now, you only need three squares"
No certainly not! I would say you probably need two rounds of three. But you know what, that probably depends on how careful you are. To be honest I don't fold, I bunch, so I end up using only a very small amount of the available surface area. I'm embarrassed to say that I probably use up a very unreasonable amount of toilet paper when clever folding could bring this down to three or four squares...
On an unrelated note: I'm happy to hear from you! It's probably been two years since we last spoke? Or maybe 1 and a half? Are you on facebook?
I need more than that depending on whether I'm shaved, what exactly I'm cleaning up after, etc. My female architecture is such that I drip quite a bit-- I have a lot of inner labia compared to most women.
I too am a buncher.
On an unrelated note: I'm happy to see you're alive. I am indeed on facebook.

Never found that to be true though.
