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 🤢

Yes I do! This made me laugh.

This thread is like a year 2 class.

Yup Grin

OutyMcOutface · 15/03/2018 19:12

You fart into toilet paper?

Tinkobell · 15/03/2018 19:14

Thing is in front of DS and DD, one has to lead by example and speak of mind stretching matters. Farty talk is off the menu, so this is great fun!

bridgetreilly · 15/03/2018 19:14

It's never occurred to me either to call a fart a 'bottom burp' (WHAT?) or to hide the fact that I, like every other person in the world, sometimes do it.

RosemaryHoight · 15/03/2018 19:17

I couldn't decide if phart was Ancient Greek or trash talk.

Old English works.

Tensecondrule · 15/03/2018 19:17

This post has really made me LOL tonight 😂 Next time I get wind I'm going to try farting into a tissue just to test the theory!

Bluntness100 · 15/03/2018 19:21

Honestly, farting into your hand is just plain strange, even if it is covered in toilet paper. As is calling it a "bottom burp" to other adults.

It's kinda odd to be so juvenile about the words you use, whilst simalteaneously doing something as completely and utterly gross as purposefully farting into your own hands.

Getoffthetableplease · 15/03/2018 19:24

I've just woken up the baby laughing at this thread! No, I don't do that, nor have I heard 'bottom burp' quoted by anyone other than Purple Ronnie 😂

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 15/03/2018 19:25

I went to school with a boy that loved to fart in his hand and then release it in your face. Hopefully he grew out of it.

whywhywhywhywhyyy · 15/03/2018 19:26

I'm a tooter and proud.

Tinkobell · 15/03/2018 19:45

....once trumped whilst lovingly blow drying DD hair for her. Poor kid got a concentrated hot blast of it. Terrible. Scarred for life!!

Tinkobell · 15/03/2018 19:48

Careful why why why.....pushing too hard can aggravate your Sigmund Freuds! 😂

whywhywhywhywhyyy · 15/03/2018 20:00

Tinkobell If you can't handle me tooting, you don't deserve me beauting.

Tinkobell · 15/03/2018 20:05

Like A Tomato - save a tree and blame the dog!

Truthstar · 15/03/2018 20:06

I do this.
I unfortunately pass big massive massive rippers of farts, not smelly but definately very noisy.

Using toilet paper to muffle the sounds works a treat.

Fart muffling in public loos has to be done. What I cant believe is that more people dont do it?

NoFuckingRoomOnMyBroom · 15/03/2018 20:21

Nineties that is actually a 'thing' -called cupapooping I believe... Envy ⬅ not envy.

MammaTJ · 15/03/2018 20:22

I remember Purple Ronnie...

If you do a bottom burp,

Remember to say in time

'Goodness Gracious, what a whiff,

It doesn't smell like mine'.

OP, you are a little odd. Toilets are for toilet things, sometimes they make noises. Sometimes I fart noisily in the toilet. Sometimes I even poop in the toilet and it makes a plop sound. It certainly makes a noise when I pee in the toilet. It is all only to be expected.

TrickyKid · 15/03/2018 20:22

Yes I do this too 😶

LikeATomato · 15/03/2018 20:30

Ah this thread has been great 🤣 Thank you all for your replies. Yes I do believe I am a little strange. I too have IBS and now see that I am very shy about toilet matters....

For all those saying "flush the chain it muffles the sound".

It doesn't 😐! 💨

On reflection, I think this muffling business is a sign of good manners and good breeding, it's the rear-end equivalent of politely coughing into a napkin. This explains why I'm a lout. 😷

LikeATomato · 15/03/2018 20:37

Also, many moons ago I was a HC assistant in a nursing home, and I've had two children. So I have had a lot worse than my own fart of my hand.

Thank you TinkoBell I had never thought of it like that. Like coughing into a napkin 😊

I trump loud and proud. It's a toilet not a library.

Do you poo into paper to avoid the splash too? My friend does similar to you and uses paper when weeing or pooing to avoid any noise. She also coughs when peeling off a pad Confused.

AllNamesTakenhell · 15/03/2018 21:05

I have IBS, I don't bother covering anything up Grin.
