Ok.. here's the situation.. I have been with my husband for 12 years and just recently figured out why we go through so much toilet paper.... he makes toilet paper gloves to wipe with! I swear when he emerges from the bathroom, half of a brand new roll will be gone.... So I asked him the other day "babe, how much toilet paper do you use?" He showed me... and my gosh it seriously looked like a mitten... not a spot of skin to be seen under the toilet paper.... I was shocked... it was way in excess, enough to get the job done, and then clean up the sink. Just curious... I never had the need to make mittens to wipe with.... any one else have someone who uses what seems like an awful lot of tp?

Oh my gosh, I just told my hubby last night that he can really go through the TP. We had guests so we gave them his bathroom and he shared mine. The TP disappeared just as fast as I put it up. Maybe he makes mittens too.......:)

Yikes! The trees in my yard just shuddered!
To answer your question, no, I've never heard of this situation. It's possible he has a phobia of human waste. I do have a potential solution, though...
Get a box of cheap baby wipes (80 ct or so for maybe 2 bucks). Huggies have a pop up dispenser so they stay connected as they come out (Shea Butter variety is the best IMO). Have him use two wipes attached to wrap his hand with. Then he can use a much smaller amount of tp to finish the job (basically, to dry off). The box of wipes should last a month or so. Just be sure he doesn't flush them or you might have plumbing problems. (Of course if your toilet can handle a roll of tp, you may not!! LOL)
Hope this helps and Good Luck!
ps Baby wipes are very forgiving on adult bottoms when you have the back door trots...I keep them in the bathroom all the time. Peace

Please!!!!!!! Its like a ritual every night. He comes home eats supper. then hits the "Throne". I use the toilet every day no need to use plunger mind you. His "throne" time leads to 20 minutes of hearing nothing until the FLUSH. If he wanted to have a peaceful time in there, he ruined it by wiping his butt a million times. I hear, after the mighty flush, him in there cussing and working the plunger. Now, I did not mention this in my early sentences, he showers right after he has his "moment" I to ask WHY USE SO MUCH TOILET PAPER FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. I to, think my husband may be making the tp mittens also. I think he is making more then mittens dear the way I hear him plunging. I think, he is making full arm gear.

Two things I noticed in your question.First thing is the amount of paper he uses.He may have had a bad experience with some cheap paper. The paper tore and he got a stinky finger and a surprise also.The second thing I noticed was the part about cleaning the sink.I'm just guessing here but I hope he is not doing his business in the sink and then cleaning it out. He should be potty trained by now.

Wow, poor guy can't even use the bathroom without being nagged on. No sweetie I'm just kidding. It could be he feels he needs that much to feel clean, mittens and all. :)
Why don't you try buying flushable wipes. Maybe he would use less to feel cleaner. My husband and sons love the wipes. I do too.
Now if only I could get them to put the seat down!

I never paid any attention to how much she was using. Only that everytime I go in there, she has left the roll empty and I have to clamp it off and run to the closet for another roll before I sit down. That really burns me up.

My husband and i do not use alot but our kids sure seem to and so does our tenant who rents from us.. They seem to use way too much and we seem to buy alot of it ever week or so. Very frustrating and i wish they would learn to cut down and use a little less as it can also clog up the toilets.

Could be obsessive/compulsive disorder. Is he extra clean about anything else. I know someone like that and love them dearly, but they can drive you nuts.
