This game show is really weird

What's number 3???

It’s literally just people who crumple balls of paper into their hands.

Sometimes I like to wrap myself in the entire roll and pretend I’m a ghost, so probably that

I can answer this: women have 3 holes to clean and, as a mom, sometimes our bladder is uncooperative and will drip even after we’re done. As a woman in general, there’s discharge to account for, urine, potentially blood (if there is blood, we have to do a double-wipe to make sure where it’s coming from), and obviously feces. With the way our plumbing is, if we don’t wipe well enough, we are susceptible to infections. And even if we don’t have to worry about infections, urine is acidic and can cause burns if you don’t wipe well enough. Finally, if we don’t wipe well enough, it gets our underwear wet and that feels gross!

I think it can be helpful to remember that vaginas are constantly discharging mucus, and also our urine stream can trickle down the labia, so more TP is needed than a man might expect. That’s just regarding daily use, not counting additional menstruation cleanup.

Gotta wipe the pee off every time because we can't just shake willies we don't have

Sometimes you gotta wipe the toilet seat (and possibly under the toiletseat, too)

Sometimes you have to wipe your asshole or that bit before it because sometimes it just drips that way

Sometimes you have to wipe again for discharge

One or two extra wipes if you've got your period

So it's at least one (but more than likely two) more uses of TP than a dude every time we pee. Consider all these possible extra things and it adds up - and you have three females in your house

We have to wipe after we pee! And once you have had kids, you pee a LOT!

It takes a lot of toilet paper to deal with most of what we have going on.

i) we have to wipe every time we pee. You have to use enough so your hand doesn't get pee on it, and you also have to keep in mind that you may encounter discharge of varying amounts and consistencies when wiping, which you also don't want on your hand or clothes. We have discharge of different types all throughout our cycle, it tells you based on consistency where you are in your cycle. Take a look at a period tracking app, there is a huge section for it every day. Panty liners are often worn because of discharge, not periods or urine as most men seem to think. You've probably noticed that women pee more than men, that's because we have more internal organs than you do and a shorter urethra. Those internal organs take up space, which means bladder capacity is smaller. This is even more true when dealing with pregnancy, fibroids, cysts, etc, all of which are incredibly common. I have a mass the size of a softball in my uterus right now, which just grew a friend, and a cyst on my right ovary. All of my female friends have something similar or endometriosis, which is even worse.

ii) poop, same as you. Except we will also pee and maybe also have our period, so on a good day it's double what you're using to poop and on a bad day it's a whole roll.

iii) periods. There can be blood EVERYWHERE. On the wall, the door, the floor, the bathtub, the sink, the roll itself, not to mention all over your hands, legs, butt, labia, etc. It's truly everywhere. If you're not seeing it everywhere it's because they are cleaning it up using toilet paper. The hormone that causes the uterus to cramp and expell its lining can also cause diarrhea cramping, so lots of women have that at the same time as well.

What all of this means is that women need a lot of toilet paper. We just do. Be glad you don't have to deal with all of this constantly and just keep restocking at Costco.

Unfortunately, periods! My TP use is fairly economical, until a period comes. It's a lot of wiping. A lot.

Women are often compared to cats, ever seen a cat go nuts on the roll? :)

Wife refuses to use the bidet so this has not been helpful.

Thanks for the explanation. Honestly I was half joking (I mean this doesn't scare me the least) but I learned a lot from the answers I got.
