A weird survey question

I decided to try and do a survey.
One of the questions asked me what I bought recently.
I chose toilet paper from the choices available.
The rest of the questions that followed were about that.
One of them asked me how often I use toilet paper.
The first option was every day.
The rest of them (though don't remember the choices) were longer periods of time.
I found that weird.
Don't people use toilet paper every day?
Multiple times a day even?

Those questions can get pretty weird at times.

At least they did not ask how much of it is used each time.

lol people with bidets don't use toilet paper that often. My mother keeps saying we need one. Yeah that is a weird question.

I am not sure I'd feel 100% clean just spraying water on my butt.

I don't ever dare to take survey though it's paying. I had taken several surveys on the past and I was frustrated after I answered the questions in the middle of the task to know that my area isn't covered with the survey. That sucks.

Oh no. I hate it when I start taking a survey and in the middle of it, or sometimes toward the end, I get kicked out, saying I don't qualify for it. Then why am I even allowed to do most of it if I don't qualify?

I've never tried doing that but I would think just pouring water in the butt won't get it cleaned fully. You'd have to use your hands too. No?

@wardfcsc hmmm. That’s interesting. Still wonder if it gets the area 100% clean.

@lovebuglena Traditionally, yes, but currently in most fancy places in Asia, the toilet has the button which has the sprayer designed specifically to target such sensitive part with certain intensity on the sprayer, you don't really use hand at all anymore. Thanks to Japanese new toilet tech.

I've used a bidet once but unfortunately not for its intended use.

That is a weird question and intrusive too. I think I would x out of it.

You would have thought every day but I guess some people are constipated

I'd rather not be constipated. It ain't fun.

@lovebuglena It depends which country, in some countries people do not have access even to a primitive toilet. Over 1.5 billion people still do not have basic sanitation services, such as private toilets or latrines.

That is what you would think. Does everyone have access to it on a regular basis though?

Well, women at least should be using toilet paper every day, but men don't necessarily have to use it every day. I mean, for those that are regular in their bowel movements, yeah it should be about every day, but some people can go a day or two without having to drop a deuce in the toilet. lol

@lovebuglena Guys shouldn’t have to wipe themselves after peeing. If so, it’s because they made a mess and peed all over themselves. Lol

It happens to me sometimes as well where I don't poop every day. Probably not a good thing. I am assuming if a guy takes a leak he doesn't need to wipe himself after. Or does that just depend on the guy lol?

@lovebuglena Could be. I wrote a piece about constipation many years ago. Do you want to see it?

Sometimes it's more frequent than one may think.

Yes; but they still ask for demographic purposes. Have a good day.

I am not sure how that is important to know but I guess it is.

I would think multiple times a day I would hope so anyway.

I'd say females definitely multiple times a day for sure.

Me too. And I hate it when I have to use the public bathroom but they are out of paper. Or they do have it but it is hard as a rock.
