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.

Three shares, folded in half, then in half again. Maybe two squares if it's quilted.

Yeah, about the same.

Oh this is smart, you're getting the required thickness by folding instead of using more pieces. When using an unfolded stack of squares you could end up utilizing just a small spot while the rest remains dry.
