Wrap around hand and then scrunch. No, I don't mummify my hand I just roll it up.

First one is folded, and then all the ones after that are a combination of folding and scrunching.

I did a thread exactly like this, many many moons ago.

I figured there must be a personality trait that makes people wad vs folding.

Like a chaotic personality wads, while a orderly, or obsessive person folds.

Its not exactly accurate though.

Im a fairly chaotic individual, and I fold.

I'm sure upbringing has something to do with it. Until about 6 months ago I was unaware of the existence of scrunchers and their ways, because noone ever told me and I never asked.

I remember this question.......they asked us at church camp as an "ice breaker"
the answer is still the same, I have no clue and if I did I don't think it's something people need to know, and if you feel a need to know something is probably wrong with you. ;)

Scrunch?! That wastes paper, and must leave you open to nutty chocolate smears when your scrunched paper doesn't completely cover your hand/fingers. Fold, obviously, cleaner and better controlled.

apparently everyone uses the bathroom...... and it's sufficiently embarrassing to a bunch of teenagers to bring them all down to the same level (except for the "clown" who made a joke, and myself who refused to participate, mostly to annoy "dear leader" ;))

As long as you're willing to waste ENOUGH paper, you don't get anything anywhere you don't want it. Plus I usually find folded paper too unwieldy (maybe I just use too much of it >.>)

2 squares (well, rectangles), fold in half, apply.

Using more paper than that in a folding situation is reserved for experts, certainly beyond my ken - see Pure Metal for guidance!

Ah, that'll be it then. I was folding wiping paper the way I fold pads - 2 squares, folded over 2 squares, folded over 2 squares (so, three layers of 2 squares).

I probably should have thought that <needs of wiping> would be less than <needs of paperpad>

But this is why I am renowned for my potty mouth and TMIness, and not my thinking ahead skills.

Living with my boyfriend sure taught me where the idea of '3-sheets' came from - guys can actually get away with that, the lucky sods!

Maybe I'm just a freak, but if I try to use three sheets in any capacity, all that happens is they soak through on contact and I get unmentionable liquid on my fingers (I have never been stupid enough to try to deal with other substances with 3 sheets... I'd have to scrub my fingers to the bone to get rid of the dirty feeling...). I have to use almost double that, non-scrunched to avoid any mess, and a bit more still, folded. Actually quite annoying (especially when said boyfriend complains about toilet paper disappearing and makes jokes about girls eating toilet paper >.<)

So yes, being a girl sucks, once again. It's times like these that the only option is to mutter "Access to breasts 24/7" to yourself over and over again.

Mmm, breasts.

I remember when my husband and I got married he thought "hey I will just buy twice as much TP as usual and we will be okay"

but then a few months in he says "how much toilet paper do you use?! our TP bill has gone way up"

okay, first yes, he keeps track of how much money is spent on what and yes that's weird, but second to question me about it?!

I said "yeah, I use more than you, I can't just jump up and down wiggle some stuff and pretend it's clean, you idiot"

haha.

Sure, there is dangerous bacterias around but the chance to get enough of them is very small. Wash your hands from time to time and you are pretty much safe (as long as you are in a normal enviroment, labs are very different).
