Is this even normal behaviour? Warning - toilet.

[lavendarhillslob]

My DH has just admitted that he wipes his bottom standing up.

I've never heard anything like it.

Is this even beyond weird????

Not sure I even want to know how it came up in conversation?

I wipe mine standing up, nothing wrong with it.

Er.... I didn't know there was any other way

I'm sure there was a thread on this the other week. It seemed to be a 50:50 split between standers and sitters

Well what is the correct way OP?

Well I've got an arse the size of a small city so I wipe standing up.

Standing for me, I think doing it sitting down is weird.

my 2 year old accidentally shit on the carpet today (relevant i think) i wiped it up and his foot i tried to wipe his bottom standing up but he was very resistant to this and clenched like hell so i had to lie him down! i feel the same way trying to wipe standing up feels wrong to me!

Those of you who stand, I don't get this, do you squat or stand fully upright? Surely you can't get properly clean if you're standing upright?

There have been a few threads about this in the past, usually running yo hundreds of posts, roughly dividing between standees no otters, all of which are shocked to find out there is any other way.

Fwiw, I stand, but have seen my bff wipe enough times (hundreds, when gossiping on the loo, in fact) to know that there is a second way.

I start sitting down and then finish standing up. Not weird at all

Standees no otters?

Standers and sitters...

I can't reach my backside if I'm sat on the loo as the seat would be in the way.

Wait, people wipe sitting down? How? Do you like reach from the front between your legs? That sounds incredibly unhygienic.

I sit quite far forward. I wipe sitting down. My bum cheeks are kept apart via the slight stickiness of my thighs catching on the toilet seat.

I put my hand behind me and wipe front to back.

Can someone explain how it is possible to wipe sat down, surely the toilet seat is in the way?

You don't sit right back on the seat. Well, I don't. I also like the freedom this leaves to lean back against the cistern and exercise alternative stomach muscles in expelling the shut.

Surely when standing your butt cheeks are together so you can't get in there properly?

I wipe sitting down leaning forwards or to one side

shut/shit

I sit, hand behind, wipe front to back. No issues with reach and I don't have unusually long arms.

Sit, wipe from behind, from front to back.

Don't see how you can get properly clean standing.
