This may go down in mumsnet classics.. but until just now I did not know that men did not use loo roll.when they had a wee!!!!

[Heyhothatsok]

No loo roll in bathroom. I asked dh , any loo roll and how has he managed all day without any? He sais " Ive not been" .. i said what you have not had a wee all day.. ? To which he replied men shake ,they dont use loo roll .i cannot believe that have never noticed this.! Thought they would at least pat it a bit with some loo roll. No more spontanous for me for now. 🤣

@BeautifulBirds

How do men with foreskins wipe or pat their pensis after a wee? Seriously??

The same way as anyone else BUT they tend not to need to do so as much as the jet is clear and doesn't contaminate bits of skin 😂

Imagine watching your partner have a poo

There does seem to be a lot of partner involvement in using the loo on this thread. I'm clearly missing out.

Knew this. Was disgusted. Insist DP soaks with loo roll or absolutely no BJs.

🤮. Why are people describing their menfolk's bathroom routine in such lurid detail? Seriously...

@Sparklingbrook

No tea spitting or waking the baby here, just crying and shaking over what has become of MN.

I was SHAKING with laughter at that!

Well having worked in hospitality for many years I can most certainly state 99.9% of men do not do this, as I witnesses them walking out of the loo doing up their trousers. No willy wiping, hand washing.... Nadda!!!

This is not a classic - it smacks of Paul and Sam in catherine tate.. we absolutely fell about, I'm mad me..

Asked DH. He says if paper is there then it usually gets a pat. If it isn’t (e.g. public urinal) then a shake is adequate.

Apparently, excessively vigorous shaking at the urinals is frowned upon in men’s public lavatorial etiquette.

Well quite. I didn't even realise I should be taking an interest. But I tell you something, I'm going to be a damn sight more careful when booking hotel rooms for now.

Imagine not knowing this...

@DameCelia

Yuk My husband always does. Prevents clothes smelling of stale wee.

Same. It's grim not to

I've not read past your first post OP as can't move on after you assume your husband's lack of toilet roll will be a thread worthy of Classics....

@DedalusBloom

What a time to be alive.

😂😂😂

I just asked dh.
He says a shake gets rid of it. I dont know how one can actually tell tho.
Urine IS sterile tho right?

Mine does.

@MolyHolyGuacamole

DH definitely does and so does DS. They also don't use urinals, they wait and use a cubicle precisely so that they have loo roll available.

Unless your DS is 5 and under, I have no idea how you could possibly know what he does in there

And same with your DH really, or do you discuss it every night over dinner?

Well given that DS is primary aged, he talks about all sorts of things, particularly things which surprise him. So when he was old enough to use the men's instead of coming to the women's with me, he was quite surprised by urinals and how few cubicles there are for men. Every now and then he will be slightly longer than expected and will apologise and explain there was only one cubicle and he had to wait. So maybe in a decade of parenting, he's mentioned it a couple of times, probably no more than five but I know he's never used a urinal because when he saw one this summer (piece of art at the Tate Modern), he mentioned he'd never used one.

And no of course we don't blooming talk about toilets over dinner but I do know DH has occasionally nipped to a public loo and the cubicle is out of order and it's annoyed him or we've talked about toilet etiquette after Sheldon in Big Bang Theory mentioned it and I idly wondered whether his thoughts were universal. So again, in 22yrs, we've probably mentioned it in context a couple of times. It's hardly a constant topic.

I’m just here to monitor the use of the word “grim” which I knew would make an appearance. Two so far, one on the first page. Solid, though not quite top MN performance.

I don’t think I heard the word used outside of MN, but here anything to do with bins, toilets (esp. brushes), and not changing your bra twice a day and your sheets three times a night is grim.

I refuse to ask DH although he's sitting opposite me. I have a father and a brother, a husband and two sons, 4 nephews, and I can proudly say I have no idea what any of them do when having a wee as I've never been around to study it closely. Except maybe the 15 month old who wears a nappy.

Your DH is grim, hope you aren't the one washing his pissy pants!

I was almost in my thirties when I discovered this, YANBU

Those who are saying that their DH, DS and other men in their family wipe their willies. How on earth would you know? Do you watch them?

I use the word in real life BTW

@YanTanTethera123
["Great. They shake and there’s spots of wee up the wall?"]🤢
He's doing it wrong 😆

I have worked with nursery aged children for 20 years, from the hundreds I have supported with toilet training, never have I ever offered toilet roll to the boys. Absolutely no parent has ever mentioned it either.
My own son and DH don't either (just give a little wiggle)

Including their sons toilet habits.
