Do you do this??

I have NC due to th me delicate nature of the discussion... AIBU to think most women do this? My DH was very surprised when I told him I do.

When I use a public toilet and need to do a bottom burp I muffle the noise with toilet paper ( - basically farting into the paper before throwing it in to the bowl!).

Am I alone in this or do others do this too? I'd hate to think the poor woman next to me had to hear the noises from the next door cubicle. I hate hearing farts in a public toilet 🤢

I remember doing that once on my first weekend away with a new hot man.
But for the general public, I suppose I expect them to know that loos are used for farty purposes, and it feels pretty anonymous in a cubicle.

Nope and you learn something new every day it seems.

I firmly believe toilets are suitable places for weeing, pooing and farting. I don’t see the need to hide any of these 3 while using the toilet. Kinda think that’s its intended purpose.

JeSaisPas · 15/03/2018 13:53

I do all those things, OP!

Dafuq??

BodakBlue · 15/03/2018 15:50

Hahaha I always do this in public toilets, I like to think of it as a bum muffler

NoFuckingRoomOnMyBroom · 15/03/2018 16:13

Well I thought I'd heard all manner of weirdness on MN but it appears not...

mimibunz · 15/03/2018 16:55

@SandysMam, I’d like to think that ‘phart’ is the Old English spelling. Which lends some class to the deed! Grin

MyBrilliantDisguise · 15/03/2018 16:57

Do you not think your husband was merely surprised you'd told him this? Might he not be the kind who'd prefer a hint of mystery and romance, rather than the kind who wants this sort of confidence?

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 15/03/2018 17:10

I agree, MyBrilliant it's an odd topic of conversation but I suppose there wasn't much on the tele.

If everyone started guffing into fistfuls of toilet tissue it would be a terrible waste of paper.
I find it annoying when people cover the toilet seat in tissue before they sit down. Then knock it all on the floor. I don't understand it.

RedPanda2 · 15/03/2018 17:17

Yes I do and I know other people that do too. If you pull you bum cheeks apart it comes out silent aswell! I find farting hilarious but don't like to do it in public

unintentionalthreadkiller · 15/03/2018 17:23

Can't say that one ever occurred to me! I do like courtesy flushing when pooing though, especially at work. I don't want my manager or my reports to hear me having a crap.

Queenoftheblitz · 15/03/2018 17:31

Yes I do all these. I put tissue down the loo first co I don't like splashback.

mamahanji · 15/03/2018 17:34

Just to go with the flow of bottom burp, splashback is called 'Poseidon's kiss' 😁

Idliketoteachtheworldtosing1 · 15/03/2018 17:35

Seriously, people have reported this post how sad I think it's hilarious and has definitely brightened up a dull day, some of you ladies have serious issues though! What do you think a lav is for??? 😂😂

HildaZelda · 15/03/2018 17:36

Muffling your 'bottom burp' with toilet roll. Oh I've heard it all now.

LadySainsburySeal · 15/03/2018 18:04

I find carrying a small trumpet in your handbag and tooting a little tune whilst on the toilet drowns out any anal audio

😆

Ollivander84 · 15/03/2018 18:29

I won't even poo at work Sad
Sometimes I think I'm odd, I've never farted in front of a friend or boyfriend, and I wouldn't go if boyfriend was in the house unless I was having a shower or something too

Tinkobell · 15/03/2018 18:41

Does anyone pee in the shower? Apparently it's eco friendly as your saving a cistern of water!

LML83 · 15/03/2018 18:44

I don't fart on toilet roll but if someone nearby flushes or uses the hand drier I will try and fart then.

knockknockknock · 15/03/2018 18:50

@Tinkobell I assumed everyone does but I'm sure you're about to be told nobody does 😀

Tinkobell · 15/03/2018 18:56

ollivander - that can't be good for your guts, fighting nature! There is a new product on the market, it's a spray thing - you squirt it over the water take a dump and it magically smothers all smells. I think it is intended for workplace....not home.

NorthernKnickers · 15/03/2018 18:58

It would need more than a bit of toilet paper to muffle the sound of my trumps! 🤷‍♀️😳😂

Whisky2014 · 15/03/2018 18:59

I just fart. you're on a toilet fgs that's what's meant to happen there.

Tinkobell · 15/03/2018 19:04

I don't like it when DH trumps while weeing in earshot. But then have lots of audio hang-ups like crunching teeth, heavy breathing etc.

NorthernKnickers · 15/03/2018 19:06

@Ollivander84 that's very unhealthy (mentally and physically!!)

I once trumped in front of my entire class...32 little moppets all rolling around laughing saying Miss Knickers trumped!! I told them it was payback 😂 (it was an accident, obviously...I had an awful cough, coughed too hard and out it popped! 😳😂🤷‍♀️)
