Many people are unaware that there is a great division and debate as to the best the method of holding the toilet paper before using it:



Folders -They fold the toilet paper (or possibly wrap around the hand) so it is flat on their hand

Scrunchers – they scrunch the toilet paper and hold the bottom half before using it

Folders do not understand why Scrunchers’ scrunch and Scrunchers do not understand why Folders’ fold.

Arguments FOR Folding

Here are some of the arguments Folders use to explain why their approach is best:



It’s cleaner as it covers a greater area than scrunching

It’s more efficient as it uses less sheets than scrunching (e.g. Marines taught to be Folders)

It’s more consistent as every scrunch is different

Folding allows for greater control and access, particularly with use of the middle finger

Folding enables easy refolding for further wipes



Arguments FOR Scrunching

Here are some of the arguments Scrunchers use to explain why their approach is best:



It’s quicker and easier than folding

Scrunching allows you to achieve greater purchase on the toilet paper for a harder and more thorough wipe

Scrunching keeps your fingers further away from the ‘danger zone’

A good scrunch allows the user to rescrunch for further wipes



Why do you Scrunch or Fold?
