I'm a waddist too.... much more secure and can be utilised in a multitude of different ways -

The Solid wad - secure but uses a lot of paper.

The Wad, Wipe and Flip - wadded around the fingers with a tail several sheets long left. Tail is flipped over to provide a new, clean surface after each wipe. Maximises paper useage but care must be taken not to dangle the end in the pan.

The Wodge and Pray - a handful of paper crumpled up and applied once or twice. Can lead to embarassing dags or famous East End of London gangsters (Ginger Marks). Usually used in a cold bathroom or when in a hurry.


The people who annoy me most are those who leave just a couple of sheets on the roll.... enough to make it look viable, but not enough to complete the job - and all so they don't have to change the roll. Limpit is an expert at this trick.
