The “advanced” options could use some better defaults. For example, does anyone actually use “2 sheets per wipe”?

If you only use one sheet you risk poking a hole.

I would guess 3 is a closer to average.

Yes, but multiple wipes per BM - about 6-8 sheets for me on average.

But then you need soap... which might be as tricky to procure as toilet paper these days. And for good reasons. Without it, disinfection ain't really happening.

Isn't "poking a hole" the intention?
