This is an important question:

How many squares of toilet paper do you use per wipe?

At home I typically use 3. I feel this is the optimum amount for safe coverage without being too wasteful:

I personally think the "ball-up-and-scrunch" method for wiping is not only inefficient and wasteful.....but also less comfortable and gives a more unreliable wipe.

I personally like to fold one end till the 1/6th mark first:

Then I take that remaining 1/6th as a "handle" and fold it back over:

This 3-Square-Stack is the right size and density for maximum comfort, efficiency, and economy. In public I'll use 4-5 squares per stack depending on ply thickness.

In public, the goal is often to get OUT of the restroom quick as possible.

So to shave a full minute off time, I invented this new method about 2 years ago, and I believe it's an innovation in toilet paper folding technology:

I will "pre-prepare" these folded stacks of toilet paper during downtime, so when cleanup time comes, I'm ready to go without doing any additional pulling and folding!! Generally 6 stacks are sufficient:

In a public restroom you don't have much clean space, so I rest these stacks in the safe confines of my clothing:

I'm not sure if they award Nobel Peace Prizes for innovations like this, but please recommend me in the upcoming vote.

I once encountered a person who said they wrap their hand in toilet paper for each wipe?? I called the cops on them immediately for this egregious waste:

We're trying to live in a society here people....

So....how many squares of toilet paper do YOU use per wipe?
