When a man does a pee does he wiggle he end so to speak or dab with toilet paper? The only reason I ask is that with four "men" in the house the use of toilet paper seems to be extremely high. I always thought men wiggled but it appears I may have been wrong all this time. Clarification would be much appreciated.

Some wiggle, some dab with loo roll. In my experience it's the overenthusiastic use of loo roll when wiping their bum after a poo that decimates toilet paper stock.

planetcloud · 05/05/2020 11:24

I've tried asking - only one has told me the end is dabbed so to speak but as they are my sons they are a bit reluctant to tell their mother!

DH wiggles. Personally I would worry that I'd dribble but it seems to work for him.

Never heard of dabbing the end, I can confirm I've only known end wigglers, and one guy that sits down for a wee but he's an odd ball.

I think my DA and DH wiggle it but then use TP to wipe up the drips. Drips used to be left for me to clean until our DDs grew old enough to go to the loo on their own and would shout about the disgusting toilet seat. So TP is now used for cleaning up drips. Would be more environmentally friendly (cost and time efficient too) if they used a bit of TP to dab dry.

Ninkanink · 05/05/2020 11:31

I think if they dab that’s probably a good thing, and I wouldn’t begrudge them the toilet paper.

However, if the men are teenage and over it’s likely that the toilet paper is being used for cleaning up something other than wee.In which case you should probably consider getting them each a pack of man size tissues, as they are much more functional for that purpose.

Imstillskanking · 05/05/2020 11:34

They are probably wanking into the loo roll.

Don't ever ask them about this again.

AgeLikeWine · 05/05/2020 11:36

I’ve never met a dabbler, and my experience has been quite extensive Blush.

Pigeonpresent · 05/05/2020 11:37

At least two rolls in each pack are lost straight to my son’s room. Best not to ask. Rather that than his socks.
Also found out DH makes a little floating island to cushion the fall of his log thus avoiding splashback. HTH

UnfinishedSymphon · 05/05/2020 11:39

Just asked DP and he says he's a dabber if the toilet roll is thick, otherwise it sticks to the end 😁

cornersteps · 05/05/2020 11:46

Oh for goodness sake OP you know what the paper is used for, surely?

Tighnabruaich · 05/05/2020 11:47

DH shakes the end, then rinses it under the bathroom basin tap, then dries with his own hand towel.
Squeaky clean knob in this house!

oohnicevase · 05/05/2020 11:49

This is funny .. 4 men .. toilet roll going down quickly ... isolation .. 🤔🤔

lollipoplola · 05/05/2020 11:52

DH dabs. I saw him wiping DDs bum the other day and the amount of loo roll used was ridiculous, I think that's where it's going rather than on pee.

custodiandiscount · 05/05/2020 11:53

I think dh tends to wave his willy around in circles to air dry given the amount of splashage in our loo. Probably before he's finished weeing

AhhSalmonSkinRoll · 05/05/2020 11:53

Only 18 comments in and I'm already in stitches at the thought of all the wiggling, dabbing, rinsing locked down willies!

InglouriousBasterd · 05/05/2020 11:53

I’ve seen both techniques used! I seem to date men who pee with the door open Confused

FlamingoAndJohn · 05/05/2020 11:54

More than 3 shakes is a wank. That’s all I know.

NiceLegsShameAboutTheFace · 05/05/2020 11:54

Well, I wiggle (when I Shewee) Grin

Aaah, it takes me back to the first time I tried it (was practising for my hols). I got it the wrong way round and pissed all over my slippers Grin Kudos to the menz: not as easy as it looks, you know.

onalongsabbatical · 05/05/2020 11:57

@Pigeonpresent ha ha ha -questions - or rather, diagram - log, island etc. Can't quite get the hang of it. So to speak.

StoppinBy · 05/05/2020 11:58

My husband is a pig and I wish he would dab but instead he thinks that because he is circumcised he doesn't drip wee but the state of our toilet says otherwise. Drips of wee all over the rim of the toilet.

He thinks that wiping makes him a girl... I think not wiping makes him a grotty pig.... we can't seem to agree on who is right...
