I was taking my daily mid-morning poop today and while I was wiping, I thought, I wonder how most people wipe.

I tend to wipe while standing up cause it's more comfortable and allows for more cheek-spreaditivity.

So, I beg the question: How does most of Lemmy wipe? Do you wipe while standing up or do you wipe while sitting down? Why?

Sitting down.

Better question is do y'all wipe from the front or the back? I always do front cuz I don't have to try and wiggle my hand between the seat and my ass or scoot to the edge. I'm looked at like I'm crazy whenever somebody says "ew who wipes from the front?"

Bro what. That means your tissue can possibly skim your taint and/or balls. Hard no. And if you're a woman, that could lead to infection.

Same, from the front. Done it that way my entire life and I tried from the back once, just can't do it.

That said, I'm teaching my daughter to do it from the back because for woman there's hygiene reasons to do it that way.

I go for a shit standing up

Standing up because then I can actually look at the toilet.

What does it count as if you lift one thigh and buttcheek off the seat?

[-] amio@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I exclusively wipe while performing jumping jacks.

[-] yukichigai@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Both, though it's usually only one standing up as more of a failsafe/spot check.

[-] Pottsunami@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Reading this from the toilet. Will update in a few

[-] jerryjigglemeyer@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago
