This morning, I went to the bathroom and noticed the toilet paper roll was empty. So after breakfast, my girlfriend and I chatted about our expectations for shared household chores.

i.e. replacing the toilet paper & (flushable, compostable) wipes when empty.

A thread.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧵" title="Thread" aria-label="Emoji: Thread">

Our general consensus has always been:

If you empty it, you refill it.
Fair.
Simple.

And I suddenly thought to myself...

Idk about you, but I have a very specific personal hygiene routine that I go through each time I go “ #2”.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚽" title="Toilette" aria-label="Emoji: Toilette">

I wondered if my girlfriend had a similar routinehttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤔" title="Denkendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Denkendes Gesicht">

I thought about the steps I go through after my morning brew https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☕" title="Heißgetränk" aria-label="Emoji: Heißgetränk">

1) grab 3 sheets of https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧻" title="Roll of paper" aria-label="Emoji: Roll of paper">
2) fold into thirds
3) wipe
4) grab 1 wet wipe, fold in half
5) wipe
6) fold again
7) wipe a final time
8) shut the toilet lid
9) flush
10) wash hands https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧼" title="Soap" aria-label="Emoji: Soap">

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤐" title="„Schweigen ist Gold“-Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: „Schweigen ist Gold“-Gesicht">So, I unabashedly asked my girlfriend what her routine was when she goes #2:

1) 1 wet wipe (not folded)
2) wipe
3) fold
4) wipe again
5) fold again
6) wipe a final time
7) shut the toilet lid
8) flush
9) wash hands https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧼" title="Soap" aria-label="Emoji: Soap">

No TP at all? “that’s only for #1” she said. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😲" title="Erstauntes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Erstauntes Gesicht">

Then I was suddenly overcome by c̺͆u̺͆r̺͆i̺͆o̺͆s̺͆i̺͆t̺͆y̺͆!!

Hear me out...

Every single human being on the planet probably has a very personal, private, unique routine for this! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤔" title="Denkendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Denkendes Gesicht">

So all of this is to say....

Do you use wipes & tp? https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧻" title="Roll of paper" aria-label="Emoji: Roll of paper">
Do you use just one?
Do you wipe only 1x/sheet, or do you fold for more wipes?
Do you close the lid?https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚽" title="Toilette" aria-label="Emoji: Toilette">
Do you close the door?
Do you wash your hands?

Do you do something totally different?!
