It is clear from her website that she is making a distinction between #1 and #2 when she says 'only one square per restroom visit (#1), except, of course, on those pesky occasions where two to three could be required (#2).' This is taken out of context by many commenters. Women only need one square most of the time for a #1. Men are soooo stupid for missing this point, and taking her out of context without a visit to her website!

Cleaner than herApr 23rd, 2007 - 17:11:36

I use way more than one piece of toilet paper for number 1, people who don't must have some pretty smelly panties. My mother only used one piece and you could smell her long before she got there.

I think there could be a way where cleanliness and environment friendliness can go hand in hand. No doubt there are other ways to do a clean job after sittings. The chinese have invented a way to process water from the bath or showers and then use it to irrigate the gardens or use them for flushing toilets.

In the Roman times the after job was done using saline water and brushes to clean the A**. So No harm in trying new things that do more good ona long run.

some folks should stick to what they do best. cheryl's is not waste management. nice she is thinking about it. one square of paper is nothing new. my mother tried getting my brother and i to do it in the sixties, because of a limited budget. it didn't work then, doubt that it with work now. maybe we should just go and collect leaves for toilet use.

I wonder if Sally & Sheryl are paying their taxes ..

WE HEAR you about your #1 (whizzin) wiping with one sqaure and it's still OFF ..

AND - YOU are missing the point on that: you liberal women cant say 'people' and expect anyone to think you mean 'only women when #1'ing' therein lies a huge fault of this Boob .. she is so egocentric she thinks she can say this ..

Now then .. 'piss off'

Crowe's statement is so idiotic it's mind-boggling. One square of toilet paper? I don't think so. The rule on toilet paper should be: 'Whatever it takes and no more.'

I do know women (Let's be honest, it's mostly women who do this, not men.) who use such egregious amounts of toilet paper, it exceeds all reasonable limits of cleanliness and enters the realm of super anal retentiveness.

Great idea! We can create a whole new branch of law enforcement...the Potty Police (aka the Crapper Cops). Need to use the potty? Well, you'll have to wait to be escorted by one of these new agents.

Sorry, I like Sheryl and have no problem with her suggesting to try to conserve toilet paper...but let's not create any unenforceable laws to that effect.

Incidentally, I am a male and I blot the end of my PP with a square (or two) of toilet paper after urination. While I might be in the minority I just want to point out that the practice is not completely unique to women...

I cannot believe that Sherly Crow thinks 1 square of toilet paper would be consistently acceptable for #1. I personally like to use more than one, so that I don't end up with urine on my hand. One sheet, especially single-ply, would not work under 99% of circumstances.

I disagree with Sally and Sheryl entirely.

I think she ticked off Karl Rove with her lines of questioning the other day and now he is helping the media make her truly look like an idiot. Great political machine at work.

Asians, the French and Middle Easterners have been using water to clean themselves after nature's call for centuries, its much cleaner, better for the enivronment and leaves the private area less stinky.
As an example, take a piece of wet mud and smear it on your hand, use a dry piece of toilet paper to remove that mud. You will certainly leave behind a nice layer.
Toilet paper use originated in the days when water was scarce or unfeasable to take to the outhouse. We're over those problems now.

I guess we need to put a cop (or at least cameras) in every bathroom stall in America to make sure no one cheats and uses 2 squares.

I will consent to use 1 square of toilet paper if she comes and licks the rest of the crap off my ass and fingers.

I agree with her. But we shouldn't stop there: let's ban all paper and/or plastic products that bear her image, name, likeness, horrible music, idiotic opinions, and shameless self-promotion under the guise of 'environmentalism'.

Furthermore, anyone who agrees with this type of fascist greening shall henceforth be forced to walk everywhere, wipe their rears with ready-made napkin sleeves, and be prohibited under penalty of imprisonment from driving or owning the wasteful Subaru cars that she endorses -- and they shall be forced to listen to that warbling awful song she sold to Subaru to promote their wasteful, earth unfriendly vehicles.

I'm going to needlessly burn some gas today, in honor of the windbag that is Sheryl Crow.

The woman is blogging, and 'thinking' out loud. She made this clear, and never claimed it was a fully developed plan. And, she was talking about peeing. Personally, I would take at least 2-3, but people probably don't need as much as they routinely use. Not like, huge 'mittens' of TP. (I can't believe I'm typing this.)

Anyhow, when people are brainstorming not every idea is going to be a keeper.
