I cannot believe how much toilet paper women use just to wipe a drop of pee away. Took me forever to break my wife of this now my mother in law lives with me. She uses more in a week than I use in 2 months. Can anyone explain this?

This may be too gross for you, but you asked, so I'll answer.
What gives you the impression it is just a "drop of pee"? Women pee out of an organ that is totally different from men. For men it is just a straight shot out of the penis, only leaving a few drops to shake off. For women, it can spray any number of directions depending on how things are, um, "situated" down there. Men can aim their pee...women can't. Add to that the fact that pubic hair gets wet when you pee on (or through) it and it makes for a pretty damp area to wipe. You know how much water the hair on your head holds after you get it wet....the same applies to your pubic hair.
Additionally, women have their periods to deal with. So each time they go pee, if they are also on their period, they also have to wipe away alot of blood. It takes more than just one square to do this! It can be very messy and you don't want to get it on your hands.
I'm sure you know that women, in general, have a moist environment down there anyway even when they aren't peeing or on their period. All that gets wiped with toilet paper, too.
Add to all that the TP used for bowel movements, blowing your nose, dabbing off lipstick, squishing the spider in the bathroom, etc. and that makes for a whole heck of a lot of toilet paper!
So there you have it. Mystery solved.
But, can I give you a piece of advice? If your mother in law lives with you now, too, I suggest you don't even waste your breath having the "let's use less TP" discussion. Talk with your wife about lowering the grocery bill in general, have your mother in law clip coupons from the paper, and try to focus on staying sane in a house with your wife and her mother.
Best of luck to you!!!

The lower labia lips can be together over the exit to the urethra or sometimes it just goes where it want to. We can't direct ours so yes sometimes it goes all over us, from the groin to the butt. Also, because of the lips and hair it hold more urine so when we wipe if we don't have extra TP it will soak through to our fingers which is nasty. If I have a choice of using extra TP or letting it soak through to my fingers while I'm wiping I'll use more.
Also, we have to use TP everytime we go to the restroom where you only have to use it when you go number two. Your mother in law is older she may have to go to the bathroom more times in a day than your wife.
If you were wiping a baby and it went through to your fingers would you use more next time?
Make sense now?
Have your mother in law buy her own and stop obsessing about this. Why do you care?

I was going to give some details as to why a woman must use more tp than a man, but that would require imagery you really don't want to have about your mother-in-law! Just remember that women have a moist oraface that men don't have, and hair is also an issue.

I grab TP to blow my nose, clean make up smudges, wipe the bathroom counter really quick, clean the mirror, etc. It's handy because it's right there. Maybe if you cleaned you'd understand.
P.S. You have no idea how it feels to be a girl and pee sitting down. Besides, TP is CHEAP. Get over it.

We use so much t.p. to wipe up where you missed. Pee might come out the front end of your body, but it never makes it all into the toilet. There's the back rim, the sides, the floor, the rugs. If a bullseye could be plainer you'd miss it more.

ok lets see....well women accually like self higen and they feel that accually wiping all the pee away is good because 1 you dont get rashes and 2 you dont feel sticky....unlike guys ...women accually have to sit.....and when you do this the pee runs down your butt.....tonight do a little experiment...sit on your butt when
you pee!!! see how much tp you use!!!...but then again you probably will use the same amount becuase you have an aimer...unlike girls!!!

You made your wife stop using heaps of toilet paper? Wow. So you'd rather her have a festy mixture of blood and pee rotting away in her undies until she can have a shower?
Buy the crappy brands of paper if your worried about money. Happy chafing!

Because women are always moist in their private parts. Wouldn't it be disgusting if some pee was left in the folds of a woman's private parts to fester all day? Women also tend to be more meticulous than men when it comes to these things.

Read carefully - the penis is like a hose. It stays relatively dry when urinating. A woman's vagina, however, has many parts and gets quite messy when using the potty. Also, we have to deal with daily discharge and moistness, and we like to clean up when we use the restroom. Don't be a cheap ***.

When we pee it collects in the labia and splashes about a bit, and we can't shake it dry. So we need to wipe every time!
So running out of TP is rather worse for us.
