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.

I have no idea but I finally discovered why we go through so much toilet roll. We live in a very small flat and DP is obsessed with toileting as quietly as possible so (as well as turning on the shower) he also makes a little bed of toilet roll for his poo before he goes so it doesn’t make a plop Hmm There’s only the two of us and I’m not very regular and we go through almost one roll a day Blush

Saw my ex pee once - he squeezed the last drops out like it was a tube of toothpaste. I'm not sure this is entirely normal though.

DH was bathing DS a few months ago, I walked in to give him a fresh towel as I was putting laundry away and he was sitting on the toilet, I said oh that's gross having a poo while poor DS is in the bath, he corrected me and said he sits to wee now. I know he didn't before but he said he's just that lazy now! I think it's so they can look at their phones.
DH is definitely a dabber as he's been caught without paper and called for me to throw him some (we keep it in the hall cupboard)

My DH uses sooo much toilet roll, before sitting on seat he covers it with paper as it's too cold otherwise (all year round) AND puts paper down loo to avoid potential of any splashback. Otherwise he is a wiggler.

This thread is making me grateful for my DH. I have no idea on dabbing vs. Shaking but all I know is it’s been 8 years and I’ve never seen a drip or a pair of smelly pee pants and the loo roll seems to last a reasonable amount of time. I should appreciate him more, clearly.

randomguy12 · 05/05/2020 23:17

I wiggle mine at the end because if I dab it I know by the time I pull my shorts back up my pants will be a little wet Confused

No matter how you shake your peg
That last little drop runs down your leg.

Old Proverb, according to my dad.

mrsmalcolmreynolds · 05/05/2020 23:31

DS (not quite 7) stands and dabs. DH stands and wiggles except at home when he kneels in front of the loo to reduce distance and therefore splash.

A boyfriend at uni used to take off all his clothes to do a wee, even if using a cubicle out and about...

DamnYankee · 05/05/2020 23:37

@planetcloud

Wiggle to get the last drop off.

Although DH has been sitting down the last few years, because I complained about "splatters," and I clean the bathrooms.

DS less consistent (read: concerned). Angry. Now he has to clean his own bathroom!

Extra toilet paper = more people in the house all day. And typically, guys eat more, so more output.

Yerroblemom1923 · 05/05/2020 23:37

I'm just thinking, after a pp posted about urinals in pubs/restaurants etc....do dabbers grab a few sheets prior to weeing? Then deposit wee soaked loo roll back into a toilet? Tbf I think there's many a good argument to abandon urinals full stop and convert male toilets to normal ones like we have. For the sake of splash back alone. Men's toilets always smell so bad.

TheSandman · 05/05/2020 23:38

I do both. Wiggle when standing just for a pee but when I've peed while sitting - there is a wonderful German word for this 'Sitzpinlker' - I will dab. I need to then but not when I've been standing.

Awkward moment story: I go to life drawing sessions with nude models, sometimes men, sometimes women. The last male model spent the entire afternoon session with a small piece of toilet paper stuck to the end of his dick. Room full of people. No one mentioned it.

DamnYankee · 05/05/2020 23:39

And, yes, OP. That question was Very Important. And very diverting in these smotheringly (?) somber times. Thanks!

QuestionableMouse · 05/05/2020 23:43

Did they include it in the drawings? 😂😂😂😂

totallydevoidofideas · 05/05/2020 23:46

@StormCiara made me laugh for such a long time with 'poo mitten'!

Pieceofpurplesky · 05/05/2020 23:59

sadeyedladyofthelowlandsea · 06/05/2020 00:23

ExP never wiggled. His boxers were permanently clammy.

I think I actually fell in love with DP when he went for a wee in my ensuite, flexed back and forth on his feet, murmured 'ooh, you have underfloor heating', had the most unselfconscious wee EVER with his back to me, wiggled, and then washed his hands.

It's amazing the things that can make you lust after someone.

Justaboy · 06/05/2020 00:29

Gent here;!

Wiggle it and the drops then drop off and thats it.

Put back inside underpants, zip fly jNo 1 job done:)

Never blot it with loo roll !

It sometimes leaves a small damp stain in ones pants thats called the Shilling stain as it is the size of a old shilling.

There yer got TMI!

Justaboy · 06/05/2020 00:31

What! all of them?, socks and shoes? and who bought him up to do that then?..

BeetrootRocks · 06/05/2020 00:32

Not RTFT

Wiggle dab IME

They use an inordinate amount when they have a shit, don't know if anyone has flagged that as an alternative to frequent wanking Grin

StinkyWizzleteets · 06/05/2020 00:48

@TheSandman the last life drawing session I attended the model had a big drip on the end of his cock. He was very well endowed and you couldn’t miss the glistening drip on the end. Then as I looked away to create a mark on the paper it had gone. He was standing on sugar paper and the drip was now spreading slowly across the previously dry paper. I was more repulsed than I should have been.

Summerofloaf · 06/05/2020 00:49

at home when he kneels in front of the loo

He kneels before the throne.

Of wee?

Goodnightelizabethwalton · 06/05/2020 01:07

I live in a house of boys and one man and their use of toilet paper is horrendously high! The toilet is often blocked by huge amounts they stuff down it! I really don’t know what they do with it?

MrsOrMiss · 06/05/2020 01:12

Loving this thread!

Years ago, there was a similar thread involving male nipples - out came the tape measure, DH not convinced it was scientific purposes (probably because I kept snaughing). Anytime he sees me chuckling while reading mumsnet he tells me he's hidden the tape measure.
He's in bed, but I do know he wiggles, then dabs but there's always one last dribble that gets him every time.

MrsOrMiss · 06/05/2020 01:14

Oh and he doesn't scrunch or wrap the loo roll ever. He swears he uses only 3 sheets, any more is throwing money away. Whenever anyone challenges his 3 sheets are plenty, he proceeds to explain how he manages it.
