Folks with vaginas, I'm conducting some family comparative analysis and I'd like to know how many standard pieces of toilet paper do you use when wiping after a pee. I posted some comments with options to upvote if you like.

It really depends. Both on how much I peed, and also how decent the TP is. Basically however many it takes not to saturate the TP, and not get urine/blood/mucus on my hands. Could be three, could be a ton.

I'll use a TON more during my period, as even with a cup in, blood finds it's way onto my skin and then the flow of the urine helps spread it to every nook and cranny.

Another thing to take into account is discharge. That definitely takes extra TP, it's thicker and a few squares won't hold up.

TL;DR whoever gives a consistent amount of squares is either lying or has a much nicer vagina than I do
