Further to an eye opening conversation.with Dp today..slightly embarrassing..but..following a poo do you stand up or sit down to wipe your bum?
He thought my way was really odd, I find his odd..a Google sees a massive divide with people most definitely sticking to one way or the other..who knew 🤷🏻‍♀️

Sit.

Glitteryone · 09/01/2021 22:56

Stand 🙈

WhatKatyDidNxt · 09/01/2021 22:56

Sit

Sparklesocks · 09/01/2021 22:59

Sit. Surely your bum is more ‘closed’ standing up?

thistimelastweek · 09/01/2021 23:00

Sit. Obviously.
If you stand, your bum cheers naturally close.

Cheeks! I don't grandstand my bum wiping!

dementedpixie · 09/01/2021 23:02

I start sitting and finish standing

dementedpixie · 09/01/2021 23:03

Well I say standing but its more like squatting but not on the toilet seat

how on earth do you clean yourself properly if you stand up

JerichosPenisInADeadChickHat · 09/01/2021 23:28

Sit for gods sake. Did your mum teach you nowt?

Wigglegiggle0520 · 09/01/2021 23:32

DH stands. And uses half a roll of toilet paper in the process. He also wipes really fast like a bank card being pulled through a machine. You can hear the swish. Drives me bloody nuts.

RunningFromInsanity · 09/01/2021 23:33

I stand Blush

Frickinfreezinginthishouse · 09/01/2021 23:33

I stand..always have done! Still can get bum clean, sort of a method to it, isn’t stood straight up 🤣
Please someone join me on this.
Must’ve been the way my mother taught me 🤷🏻‍♀️Reluctant to ask on our next phone conversation tbh

The thought of sitting doing it makes me feel sick 🤮

Sit. If you're standing, you're basically making a shit sandwich with your arse cheeks. Minging.

My friend and I (and our DPs) recently had this conversation for some reason. Then my mum who was visiting joined in. The men were standing, women sitting. Our googling led us to believe most people sit, but almost all women sit versus only some men.

I'm with you op! I'm now questioning it though Blush
SaltedCaramelIcedLatte · 09/01/2021 23:46

Stand lol

Bloodypunkrockers · 09/01/2021 23:48

My arse is huge. How would I get my hand round to wipe if I'm sitting?

Like Boyzone performing any one of their songs?
