Japan Toilet Love

The Japan Toilet Institute has started a campaign called Lets love the toilet.

The campaign has a few messages:-

-Use toilet paper with care.
-Think about the next person.
-We can help our Earth starting from the toilet.

The same institute carried out research which found that men used an average of 132 centimeters of toilet paper while women used 99 centimeters. They want to see if people start using less paper to wipe their bottoms after the campaign.

I thought of many different questions to ask regarding how you wipe your bottom and whether you check to see how much you wiped off but thought I'd better not ^^;

But hey, if you don't check, how do you know if you are clean or not? Do you wipe a certain amount of times regardless of how much you managed to wipe off with your quota?
If you never look and only wipe 5 times, how about the rest that may get left over? Must get all squiggy and skiddy.

Oh OK then - will ask in the poll. Only if you insist I ask.
But I'm not going to ask you if you squash the paper together to make butterfly patterns.

Other things that our toilet does is warm the seat, control water pressure of squirt, turn on "massage mode" (the stream of water wiggles back n forth to remove stubborn corn or spinach) and after flushing, the water used to fill the tank comes from a tap object at the top of the toilet for you to wash your hands.
