[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That you're supposed to wipe front to back.

Truthfully, I don't get how people do this! My arms are not that long. Unless I'm wiping from over my butt (instead of between my legs), it's just not physically possible.

I still wipe back to front, but have only ever had one uti, and that was at 37. [/quote]

Oh God oh God oh god, you're making me feel sick. I didn't know wiping back to front was a thing. It sounds so disgusting.[/quote]

I’m pretty sure pp was referring to after urinating. Wiping front to back after urinating is difficult for her because you have essentially go all the way under and up. Not dedicating and wiping back to front. [/quote]

I bet she means more than just urinating.

And I’m with her. I would be physically unable to do front to back. [/quote]

I wipe the front, and then I wipe my butt back to front. But the paper that touches the back never comes far enough forward to touch the front parts. [/quote]

I'm this way too.  And after i go number two, i always, always use a wet handcloth and seriously wipe the whole thing down so there's nothing left.

Also, it's a myth that wiping has anything to do with UTIs.  Doctors love to dole out the advice, but it's not based in truth.  https://brighamhealthhub.org/treatment/myths-and-truths-about-urinary-tract-infections

"MYTH:  Hygiene habits, and fashion choices, contribute to UTIs
You may have heard that certain hygiene practices are risk factors for UTIs, particularly for women. But UTIs are not caused by how you wipe in the bathroom, by tampon use, or by failing to empty your bladder after sexual intercourse, Dr. Dielubanza says.
“A lot of women express concern about these,” says Dr. Dielubanza. “But studies have shown there is no association between these practices and UTIs.”  "[/quote]
