OK, so hiding behind anonymity joy of MN. Increasingly sure I can't be the ONLY person, but can't find any other evidence of this challenge.

So, am lucky enough not to be constipated. However, since about 30wks have been finding it difficult to reach round my bump to, ahem, wipe. Any clever solutions? Emulating the romans and sticking a sponge on a stick?

I'm Ecstatic that the bum wipe stick exists on the same point of the space/time continuum as me. Fantastic ! Thanks Kitty!

Because:
a) it's easier to see what you're doing
b) your spine bends forward not backwards, so actually it's a shorter distance unless you feel the need to have a ramrod spine while wiping.

I wipe from the back and was enormous with DS. Never had a problem. Had to slightly shift onto one thigh Blush but tis fine.

"No never wipe back to front!!! That's one of the primary causes of UTI's and Cystitis!

Sorry don't understand this post, surely you wipe from behind after a number 2?!!"

no not from your to your bum to your hoohah , I meant go in from the front and wipe the opposite to how your hand will wipe if you wipe from the back so it's back to front- so you go in from the front of the toilet and wipe your hoohah and then bum IYSWIM, NEVER wipe your bum then your hoohah as you get infection etc.

Or you an go in from the front and wipe each part separately
