Almost always? I think you’re a little off with that assertion.


Ask your college kids. They will all tell you that every guy or girl has had at least one same sex experience.


I think this is more common with women than men. At least, in the past it was. Not sure now.

I didn’t know that people didn’t!


When we were building a new bathroom my DH and I had to discuss the layout and somehow this came up. Apparently he stands, though he didn’t teach the children to stand as far as I know.


Standing to wipe closes the butt cheeks. You’re missing dingleberries.


I didn’t know how many grown folks don’t know how to wipe their behind.

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.


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.


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.


I bet she means more than just urinating.

And I’m with her. I would be physically unable to do front to back.


Ok please explain how, if can go back to front, you somehow cannot manage the reverse.



To wipe back to front, you can also split the wipe. Wipe the front and all the pee first. Then reach around the back (like if you were pulling up low jeans without a belt), lean forward a bit, and begin wiping from the outside vulva/through the booty hole, and the final swipe through the crack. Repeat until toilet paper is poo-free

DP. I have short arms, a short torso, and a big phat ass. I can do front to back, but it’s a contortion. I prefer a bidet.

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.


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.” "


Please tell me that the "wet handcloth" is just a wet wad of toilet paper.


Hey, America - why not a hand held shower to rinse out your butt?





Ahm… this contraption that you present here better be hoked to
a warm water that provides steady cozy even temp warm stream. Otherwise I think you would have a trouble
finding a volunteer that would like to pour ice cold water mid-winter on their jewels.
Cold water is not exactly your bladder friend.

It is hilarious that most people who own high end/luxury European cars do not have an idea
that their sun visors extend to give them extra coverage. You see often some kind of contraptions
they use for the very purpose not knowing that all they have to do is just pull it off the metal rod a bit to make
it longer.

I agree that she means more than urinating. I've been hanging out in a lot of hospitals and rehab facilities recently b/c of health issues for some relatives and I have learned some very interesting things from nurses and technicians about bathroom habits. Apparently back to front is pretty common, which is why so many women have UTIs.

Did any of you ever see the episode of Supernanny where Jo tried to tell the football player that he shouldn't wipe his daughter's bottom from back to front? Jo was beside herself about it and the football player was adamant that what he was doing was fine.
