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.

My husband does both...

Hayyancairo2 · 07/05/2020 09:08

Totally agree with MrKlaw on this. All parents should teach their boys to sit from the start. It's disgusting to stand and aim inaccurately. Why do all men's public toilets STINK????

CountryGirl1234 · 07/05/2020 09:09

My OH dabs

Summerofloaf · 07/05/2020 09:18

Excuse me but why would male wanking need lots of toilet paper wouldn’t they just do it into the toilet and then still just dab? I can’t see it would take soooo much toilet paper.

It’s got to be all the pooing. Also if you wet the toilet paper to wipe properly then that does use a lot more.

madcatladyforever · 07/05/2020 09:20

Its for the poo, that's where the loo roll goes. I notice the loo roll monthly bill is now one quarter what it was now I'm divorced.

CarolwithaC · 07/05/2020 09:33

@Noti23 hello lovely. Your OH sounds like an absolute psychopath. Id be a little bit concerned in his behaviours. It sounds like he hates his Rodger. Why does he smack it against his Tummy??? Pissy belly button .

What does he do when he goes for a poop? Does he drag his arse around the carpet like a dog?

babyinthacorner · 07/05/2020 09:59

This thread is making me piss... pun intended Grin
My DH sometimes sits and always dabs. He leaves the toilet in pristine condition. My 3 year old DS has been taught to dab by me. So imagine my surprise when one day after seeing he says “No Mummy! You need to pull my penis! Look like this...” and proceeds to wrap the tissue round the end and give it a good tug Blush
Daddy had taught him apparently. When I questioned it, it’s because DH is circumcised so a dab will suffice. A foreskin needs a tug to ensure all the stops are dried. Well I never.

alliwantforchristmasis · 07/05/2020 10:01

majesticallyawkward I'm a male and I sit down, I don't class myself as weird because you pass more urine this way so I use the toilet less. In answer to the post, most men wiggle it as when standing at a urinal you don't have a supply of toilet paper to dab it with. But I do think it's with the amount of people in the house that you use a lot of toilet paper. Maybe you need to check how big the rolls are and get the largest roll you can so that you use less rolls.

Oh god @babyinthacorner I hadn't even thought about that... potty training ds is going to be a minefield!

babyinthacorner · 07/05/2020 12:10

@majesticallyawkward the potty training aspect was far easier than I expected it to be actually! It’s the subsequent obsession with all things penis that’s the problem GrinBlush

majesticallyawkward · 07/05/2020 12:21

Haha @babyinthacorner he's it even 6 months and already likes a good grab at it 🤦‍♀️😂

Notenoughchocolateomg · 07/05/2020 17:04

I taught my sons to dab. Eldest doesnt really anymore, unfortunately coz he dribbles 🙄

MummyMayo1988 · 07/05/2020 17:57

OP - I totally feel this post! 😂
I've got DH, DS10, DS5 and DS1 at home at the moment.
The 2 boys always use a ton of loo roll for a number 2 but a wiggle for a number 1. Or if they're feeling lazy; just let it dribble on the toilet seat for me to sit down on 🙄
As I understand it; it's all down to personal preference lol
Altho - DH informs me that pants always claim the last dribble 😂😷🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

msgreen · 07/05/2020 19:28

I think they wank more when bored or stressed, would def explain the extra loo roll
Maybe give them all their own ration....

msgreen · 07/05/2020 19:28

Of loo roll that is

jackparlabane · 07/05/2020 19:53

According to the Meaning of Liff, the last drop from weeing that invariably dribbles down a man's trousers is called a Wimbledon.

My three male housemates when I read this all blushed and refused to comment when I asked if that meant they didn't wipe. They even had the bright idea that the other girl and I should pay more for the household budget to cover loo roll.

DH assures me that men's pants are very absorbent and he changes them 1-2 times daily.

Animum2 · 08/05/2020 10:18

So I asked Dh and he says he dabs also turns out both of us build little nests of toilet paper so there isn't splashback with number twos

cuparfull · 08/05/2020 18:18

Mines a dabber....cudn't bear speckles of pee all over the bathroom! Also sits down to pee.....but not such an oddball given he's had prostate cancer and MUST do pelvic floor exercises at each loo visit.
So consider some chaps might not be sooo odd after all.

majesticallyawkward · 08/05/2020 18:58

I asked dh about this and he said he's only ever seen one dabber, which was a man in a public toilet who had a hankie in his pocket he took out to dab after a wee.

He also reminded me of our old housemate who first thing in the morning just kind of leaned forward and hoped he hit the toilet bowl... I think I'd blocked that out after the horrors of cleaning that bathroom

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 09/05/2020 00:21

Modern toilets are designed so that even monster turds don't give you a Poseidon's Kiss except in vanishingly rare circumstances. That's why the water level is low down in the bottom of the pan - enough water to catch the jobbie and (hopefully) prevent it from smearing the sides on its journey south, but not enough for splashback.

a man in a public toilet who had a hankie in his pocket he took out to dab after a wee.

I'm really struggling to understand why you'd prefer wee remnants on your hankie in your pocket, into which you frequently put your hand (and which you could also lift to your face to wipe your nose) rather than the fabric half-way down your body whose actual job is partly to absorb and contain any excess fluids.

me109f · 09/05/2020 13:39

All men usually decide what works for them without instruction.
I finish my pee (often expecting a double wee. (In other words, when you have first finished it is very likely that you may need to go quite a lot again after a few minutes; this is common for both sexes and according to a TV documentary about it, quite normal.)

I then lightly pinch the shaft of the penis and strain the tube of the urethra by running the fingers gently along to the bell end, perhaps 2 or three times using a bit of a squeeze. This clears the penis of urine and lets it dribble out the end. Once done, a snappy shake a couple of times should clear the tip of any drips. If this is not done, expect a dot of shame once you have dressed, (Stephen Fry's expression), damp pants and the whiff of wee.

This should not cause drips on the walls or floor, unless done by a sloppy idiot.

However, there is a issue if using a toilet if you do not stay over the bowl when urinating as the flow can often dribble backwards when pissing and this can often cause quite an unexpected puddle. This is rather like having a teapot with a badly designed spout.

If this occurs, it beholds the unskilled fool on he end of the hose to immediately check and dab the floor with whatever comes to hand, usually rather a lot of loo paper.

I am astonished that you have not watched your man having a wee. You or he must be very shy. Ask to look, it is a very simple human curiosity for heavens sake. I have watched many ladies doing that and most really do not seem to mind at all.

weepingwillow22 · 09/05/2020 13:44

Does anyone else's DH fold up 2-3 sheets of loo roll and leave them in little piles in the bedroom and bathroom, just in case they are needed? I find it a little wierd and annoying and am wondering if this is a common male behaviour?

BestOption · 09/05/2020 14:36

OH - locked down separately - I text to ask as I had never paid attention. Apparently 'Dabs every time' I asked about urinals 'except then, but wash hands' when I asked ' don't you usually anyway(wash hands)' and asked if he then wiggled or squeezed.... he's stopped replying 🤣

Most men I've known do a sort of 'flick' - never had issues with it on the toilet seat or walls etc. Clearly been lucky with ex's in that respect.

On very small boy, sitting to wee, wasn't pointing it down far enough managed to wee between the seat & toilet rim all over my leg. Not sure who laughedvlingest or loudest 🤣

Many times been wee'd on by small boys who weren't paying attention and it's poked up out of the toilet. Trying to stand 'like the big boys' has also had its share of 'ooops moments'. It's SO much easier TT little girls,p.

Rainbow · 10/05/2020 13:06

All mine wiggle. However, when they 💩 they use more than needed, either that or they get hungry and make sandwiches from it 😁
