[quote=Anonymous]I am a woman and I did not get the memo about wiping front to back until a dad was giving me instructions on diaper changing his daughter that I was going to be babysitting (I was probably about 14). I adopted the habit from that point forward. But I agree with the poster that it's anatomically difficult (my arms aren't noticeable short, but they certainly aren't long). Sometimes for just pee I give up and do a back to front vulva only wipe.

Regarding standing vs sitting. It never occured to be that anyone would sit to wipe. Frankly, at this point in my life my ass is too big, there's not a lot of clearance back there between butt and toilet seat, and I'm not trying to accidentally touch the toilet seat with my hand.

Once our toddler started using the potty and needing wiped, my husband and I have evidently been confusing the hell out of DS. Whenever DS would be done pooping I'd impatiently prod him to stand so I could wipe him, whereas DH would exasperatedly tell him to quit getting up, his butt still needed to be wiped. He now wipes his own butt at least when he's at PreK, I'll have to poll him on which is his personal preference.
