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. 🤣

How do you know your father wipes his willy after a piss???

Yuck.

TooBigForMyBoots · 07/09/2021 22:46

Imagine watching your partner have a poo...

Better than being watched.Shock How can you have a happy poo if someone's watching and listening?Confused

Peanutsandchilli · 07/09/2021 22:47

My husband doesn't. Can't say I've ever smelt stale wee on him.

Explosivefarts · 07/09/2021 22:47

@Skysblue

Yuk. When he shakes it does he not think about where he’s shaking the wee to? Hope your toothbrush is nowhere near…

My father son and dh all use tissue. Because they aren’t grim.

I think it’s grim to know what your father does when he is in the privacy of his own bathroom .

@whosthathowsthat

My Dh wops his out into the sink and actually gives it a wash! Do I win?
That depends. What does he dry it with? Please, tell me it's not the hand towel.

After almost 37 years of marriage I still have no idea if my husband sits, stands, wipes, or shakes. I wonder how we’ve made it this long…

DdraigGoch · 07/09/2021 22:49

@Bananaman123

Men who shake but have no aim so it leaves drips on seat and they don't wipe it 😡
Why would it leave drips on the seat when the seat is supposed to be raised for a number one?

Amazed at how many husbands/sons apparently never use a urinal. Just goes to show how MN isn't representative of real life.

winewolfhowls · 07/09/2021 22:51

Blown away by the shed load!
I always thought it meant lots of something because sheds were places where you store a large amount of stuff.

HaveringWavering · 07/09/2021 22:51

My DH must only shake because that is what he has taught our son to do. I thought that was how all men did it. DH does use a ridiculous amount of paper for poos though, we burn through it like nobody’s business.

A disgusting maid doesn’t

DogsandCatsB4u · 07/09/2021 22:54

Male not maid

HistoriaTrixie · 07/09/2021 23:01

My MIL raised all her boys to dab off after a wee. Our son was raised to as well - of course I have no idea if he still does, but I don't think it's by any means uncommon.

SpamThief · 07/09/2021 23:03

Still can't believe some people know what their fathers post-piddle routine is.

AveryGoodlay · 07/09/2021 23:03

those who know....how do you know? He pisses with the door open!

User57327259 · 07/09/2021 23:05

I have absolutely no idea what my DP does in the bathroom. He is an adult so goes in by himself. I would not ask him either.
We both respect the other's privacy. Neither of us can understand why some bathrooms have two sinks, why would two people be in the bathroom together? We are lucky I suppose in the we have more than one bathroom.
I would never want him in the bathroom at the same time as me and he would not like me in the bathroom with him while we were there.

RiverSkater · 07/09/2021 23:05

I did know this as occasionally my partner doesn't shake properly and I've spied has a wet patch on his trouser. 🤮

Seldon · 07/09/2021 23:10

I’m amazed that so many posters claim their menfolk use paper. I never even realised that was a thing.

Sydendad · 07/09/2021 23:12

He must have a stinky willy 😅. And dirty underwear. But he's right most men don't use loo role, and piss standing even on the home toilets. Personally I never got that, I always wipe with loo role as I hate those wet wee patches in my underpants. And splattering piss all over the bathroom floor and toilet edge? Behh I sit down and wipe. But I think I am the 1% minority

SicParvisMagna · 07/09/2021 23:13

Genuinely confused at all those asking "how do you know?" Well for one we only have one bathroom, and none of us are prudes about this stuff so...Biscuit

I mean if he needs a piss and I'm there faffing around washing my face, brushing my teeth etc I wont bat an eyelid if he has a wee next to me. If you can put your husbands penis in your mouth the least you want to know is he wipes the damn thing after a piss!

Oh apart from number twos. No way I'd want to be in the room when he does that.

NotMyCat · 07/09/2021 23:16

@ElvisPresleyHadABaby

Knew this. Was disgusted. Insist DP soaks with loo roll or absolutely no BJs.
That ^^ Men that go to the toilet, come back without wiping/washing/anything and then wonder why oral isn't on the list. Well, because you stink of wee Hmm
TitoMojito · 07/09/2021 23:19

I had a male friend at school who was baffled when I said I couldn't use the school bathroom because there was no toilet roll. He was like "ew, you shit at school?" And I was like "uhh no? I was going for a pee." And he was so confused as to why I'd need toilet paper for that. Eventually my other male friend jumped in to point the basics of the female anatomy.

But that was when I learned men don’t use toilet roll to pee. And apparently when my friend learned we do.

Sweettea1 · 07/09/2021 23:30

Funny people saying the MEN (so no little boys) in my family do I have no idea about my teen ds and not gonna ask either. How on earth could you possibly know what they do unless your in with them. Maybe they know there is no tp left as they done a number 2 🤔

maryberryslayers · 07/09/2021 23:37

Even my potty training 2 year old worked out it's probably sensible to 'dab dab' himself dry after a wee!

VodselForDinner · 07/09/2021 23:42

I went to school with a guy who tried to give himself a nickname. He wanted to be called Shadow. He would get really annoyed when nobody else called him Shadow.

Nominating yourself for Classics has a touch of the Shadows, doesn’t it?
