Comment Hidden (show)
haha. are you serious? well as long as that toilet paper isnt getting stuck between your cheeks then i guess ita all good.
Comment Hidden (show)
o.o How else... would you wipe it...? Wow, am I not supposed to be standing up?!
Comment Hidden (show)
ok i don't. now i feel awkward.
Comment Hidden (show)
who's to say that sitting down is normal and standing up isn't?

i think you're normal. everyone has their own ways.
if it makes you feel better, i do too.

I can't imagine NOT STANDING. For many reasons. Thank goodness there are others out there like me. I have met one other person who stands.
Comment Hidden (show)
LMAO! what does one even say here?

hey to each his own.
hey if you like to stand up and wipe ur ass, go for it man, its supposed to be a free world. it is normal?!? fuck no, wouldn't it be more easier to sit and wipe it off? i mean..

lol, i love, i mean i love this site.

I standup too, how the hell are u supposed to wipe sitting down?!?!?
Comment Hidden (show)
haha no sweetheart, its normal.
Comment Hidden (show)
I do it standing up, but the damn toilet at work always flushed automatically when I did that so I had to learn to do it sitting down too. I just scoot forward a little bit to make room for my hand.

But standing up is just easier, at least if it weren't for those damn automatic toilets.

By the way, those automatic toilets are evidence that it's not normal.
Comment Hidden (show)
lol, god. i always had this question. then when i thought it was weird i started doing it sitting down. so now i do both...ugh, god. haha
Comment Hidden (show)
I do it too- people think it's weird, but it's just a better working angle.
Comment Hidden (show)
Ha brilliant!! im a sitter myself but what ever floats eyy
Comment Hidden (show)
I do it. Sitting I find weird cos I am practically sticking my hand in the toilet.
Comment Hidden (show)
THERE IS A BIG F****ing CONFUSION HERE!!!!!!

Standing up for some people doesn't mean standing COMPLETELY up and then wiping because how the f*** can you get to the s*** between your cheeks?

Some people just stand up a little while still keeping they cheecks wide so they can wipe. What these people don't understand is how others can do it sitting down because they are afraid of toilet paper getting wet in the water or that a rat may come up the pipes and eat their sh** out.

Some people just like smearing their decreted fasatiables on the walls but that's a whole nother story.

I think its normal, i dont stand all the way up lol... but what ever makes you comfortable

Don't lie down...
Comment Hidden (show)
I didn't realize people thought it wasn't normal. I do it too. XD
Comment Hidden (show)
I always wondered about this! I do it also, i dont c any other way...
Comment Hidden (show)
thats just sloppy. its not strategic. when you stand up, your ass cheeks squeeze together. when you sit on the toilet and gently lift your ass to wipe it, you can cover more surface area. come on now, lets think it through next time.
Comment Hidden (show)
I raise my butt off the seat but don't stand all the way up. I bend forward. I'm not sure if that fits the definition of standing in other peoples interpretations here
Comment Hidden (show)
It's funny, i and a bunch of friends had this huge debate over which way is normal but really we were split down the line. maybe one person was the tie breaker in favor of sitting, but i stand by my feelings of not wanting to put my hand near toilet water that i just shat in. haha
Comment Hidden (show)
Why wouldn't you stand?
Comment Hidden (show)
As long as you are standing on your feet and not your head I can't see a problem with it.

I like to do a double back flip, one swift wipe while in mid air and then land back on the seat (with the paper safely in the bowl before I get there). It isn't as hard as it sounds the only problem I sometimes have is when the perforations on the layers of toilet paper don't line up right or when my finger goes through.
Comment Hidden (show)
i wouldn't know if it's normal or not but why would you wanna do it standing up? there's no way in hell you can get a good wipe that way. wipe standing up and i guarantee you will walk around smelling like your own shit
Comment Hidden (show)
This is TOTALLY normal. First the dump, then I stand up. Its alot easier then trying to reach back and under while sitting. When I am standing, I am bending over while I wipe. But this is far easier then doing the "sit down work"!!
Comment Hidden (show)
um i reckon it's just personnal preference. doesnt really make that much of a difference.
im the same as u.
Comment Hidden (show)
sitting down and doing it seems awkward to me, and somehow les clean
Comment Hidden (show)
What are you that fat,that you can't reach without standing up.?
Comment Hidden (show)
I stand up, rip, fold, wipe, look, throw, repeat about six times, and flush, in that order.
Comment Hidden (show)
Hmmm, for the standers that do the bend @ the waist method I would think it's a hold over from childhood when your parents likely wiped your butt that way...

Just a thought...
Comment Hidden (show)
its so much easier standing up, if your sitting down you'll just end up getting sh** all over your hand and its so awkward.i stand too! i bend over while wiping, and all you who are saying its not normal shut up cus it is! you the ones who end up covered in sh** for the rest of the day
Comment Hidden (show)
toward the front or toward the back?
Comment Hidden (show)
LMAO.
Comment Hidden (show)
well honestly. of course sitting down is betta... u get a nice relaxed open anus and u can get the tissue right in there.
...i often wonder how much residue your curlies collect? might use a little shampoo there next time. geddit? sham-poo haw haw.
Comment Hidden (show)
hahahahaha.
these comments are shit crazy.
this is amazing!
Comment Hidden (show)
None of u have got it right. Stand one foot on the floor and one foot on the seat, ergo...cheeks open wide so easier to wipe a**.
Unfortunate if foot on the seat slips cos ure in the sh*t.
Comment Hidden (show)
How do you figure it isn't normal? At least the job is getting done. I stand while wiping. I don't know why I do, but I get just as clean.
Comment Hidden (show)
Of course it's normal to stand up! I certainly do. I mean, how the hell are you supposed to wipe while sitting down!? There's no room to wipe that way. I'd feel like my hand is in the freiken' toilet! Which, I happened to have just shit in. Gross. And then there's always the chance of getting shit on your hand. That's even more gross.

Funny story: Once I tried it for the hell of it, and my hand hit the toilet lid behind me and I smeared the shit covered paper all over my back in a rebound result! Not to mention my wrist hurt like hell after that.

Bottom line: It's normal.
Comment Hidden (show)
To each their own. Even if you have to stand on your head- Whatever gets the job done.
Comment Hidden (show)
@: Malfoy
Lol. Agreed.

But sometimes I find Standing up squishes it between your cheeks, so its kind of half standing up, half sitting down. I do both.

I Guess standing is normal, unless you really wanna wash your hand in your own crap >_>
Comment Hidden (show)
The Healthy thing to do is to STAND UP ENOUGH TO SPREAD THE CHICKS FREELY. I do. Less chances of spreading E-coli and Salmonella to others coz not every one you see out there washes their hands after shi>>tng !
Comment Hidden (show)
It's not normal. When you're standing your asshole is closed and your buttocks are together, when you sit or squat your cheeks spread and your asshole is open. It's a lot easier to clean. People who wipe standing up aren't cleaning themselves properly.
Comment Hidden (show)
gross... you probably get poop on stuff and you cant clean your ahole properly in that position. i bet you have horrible skid marks
Comment Hidden (show)
strategic? what is this some sort of game? lol everyone has their own way of wiping.
Comment Hidden (show)
yeah i dont understand how you wipe your ass whilst sitting... and also im not quite understanding how everyone knows how you are supposed to wipe your ass.. you all observe the process of others ass wiping?
Comment Hidden (show)
wiping it is just fine wither standing or sitting but do you wash it afterward.
washing it is the norm and is more hygienic. That what Islam says. Hypiene comes first.

@: harachi
You can always stretch your buttocks and then push up the paper in your ass, that's what im usually doing.

oh shit, i didnt even know people did it sitting down....how would that even work..i have now began to question myself hmmmmmm
Comment Hidden (show)
@POSTER

This whole topic is just HILARIOUS! Man.. here it is. It's NOT normal to stand up to wipe because it requires more work, and, therefore, most people rule it out.

My guess is that if standing up actually improves your ass-wiping ability, then it's because of your weight. So, to whomever post this, are you fat?

I dont get it how can you not stand up :c I cant reach if i sit down :P

Interesting story a little odd and gross but you know haha good strong point of view too oh and your haunted undies haha good story also xD i'd like to talk toy ou more about your problems would you mind...? :)
Frank...:)
Comment Hidden (show)
Wow I honestly thought that was just a myth! Do the poop remains not squidge between the cheeks when standing? Or do you lean forward in a doggy style position? How does the poop not slide down your leg before you apply the first wipe? Is this also done when drunk or do you just go with the old sit'n'wipe? So many questions...

My preferred pooping habits are as follows (feel free to take notes):
1. Wipe toilet seat thoroughly with TP and drop into bowl. This is so the splash doesn't shoot up the anus.
2. Poop.
3. Scrunch TP.
4. Now for the tricky bit. Lean slightly forward and to the side with one cheek resting on the seat. In this position, by simply maneuvering your ass in the opposite direction while maintaining cheek-to-seat pressure, cheek partage is not only possible but desirable also.
5. Now you have an all access pass and can totally get yo wipe on.
6. Stand. Put seat and lid down. Flush.

Have I missed anything? Any hints, tips, tricks or techniques I should be aware of?

same. But I also do it before i sit.

@: DBess
No,DBess, I think you have just about covered everthing in your dissertation on 'The merits of the sit-to-wipe technique'.
Your attention to detail and your scientific approach is admirable.
Thankyou.
By the way, I am a stander, always have been, always will be.
Comment Hidden (show)
Hahaha! First, I want to thank the poster for providing such a great avenue of laughter! 2nd,I had no idea people stood up to wipe, but now that I think about it, that makes total sense! I've always felt weird wiping while sitting down, but squatting over the toilet to clean up makes sens as you are sure to get all possible angles! Now, I wonder how many other people prefer to use wipes rather than TP???
Comment Hidden (show)
I do too! I hate sitting down to wipe my ass...2 reasons 1) I don't want to touch to toilet's under side of the seat. Dried piss and pubes are all over that, even if it's at your own home! And do standing up just feels so much comfortable and you can really get a squeaky clean arse! Try it for yourself before you knock it!
Comment Hidden (show)
i think that either way is normal.. if you have been doing it all your life. I think that you would probably get the same amount off either way. It would be better if we had wet naps or something to use in washrooms, instead of paper tissue

wait wait wait..this is not how your supposed to wipe your ass?? how else are you supposed too?

@DBess

Forgot to wash your hands..... Do you wash your hands before you flush.. or after..????

and I stand.. yo.
Comment Hidden (show)
Sure it's normal. It simply depends on what you've learned as a child or found out through experience--people should excrete and clean themselves in a way that works best for them!

Personally, the only time I've ever stood up to wipe is if I get up after finishing and feel that I might not have done a good enough job. :)

doesn't matter, usually no one's looking

its totally normal
Comment Hidden (show)
Whether you stand or sit, please spread your legs good, (it is easiest to do with your butt just up off of the seat and use both hands to pull the cheeks apart and hold and then sit, the toilet seat helps hold them apart - I often spread my cheeks before shitting too) and firmly deeply wipe in the hole and surrounding areas with as much paper in every angle until the paper no longer has a trace of shit upon it. Moisten toilet paper with tap-water if needed/desired, i find this often helps, but always make sure your final wipe is a dry one (and stainless).
Comment Hidden (show)
I would think everybody stands. otherwise how is it possible/ easy? lol uh....
Comment Hidden (show)
Sure. Gives yourself a better angle to work with, right?
Comment Hidden (show)
Standing up and bending over is even more effective, and if feels great if you are using wet-wipes.

but you have to make sure you wipe off any dangles before you get up.
Comment Hidden (show)
wtf?
Comment Hidden (show)
what the hell? My ex's father was a real old man and he thought toilet paper was too expensive too. He was one of those backwoods Appalachian hillbilly creatures, and he'd use his bare hand to wipe his ass with, he'd flush the toilet, slosh his hand off down there in the new water, then wipe his hands on the walls. We had many a fight over this disgusting filthiness.

WTF, why the hell wouldn't you stand up?
What are you going to lay down on your stomach and have someone wipe your ass for you?

who cares in the end your cleaning shit from your ass, hahahah btw its not normal :P

I stand up all the way, and have no problems getting between my cheeks.

it is not anatomically appropriate to do this... might lead to bad hygiene, and in extreme cases disease. any particular reason to rise up???

Thats what i do...I didn't know some people sat down...I didn't know it's possible to wipe your ass sitting down. How?
Comment Hidden (show)
No! This will close your cheeks together, smearing your Marmite all over your mounds.
Comment Hidden (show)
You jus half stand and do it. Sitting down and doin it is for lazies! Lol
Comment Hidden (show)
If it's such a huge dilemma for you, just quit wiping it altogether! Wear a long T-shirt that will cover your asshole and take care of the problem.
Comment Hidden (show)
But then you can pee at the same time :D

hahahaha wtf man

I'm a convert. Untill about 2 years ago i was a stander but then somehow it came up in the convesation with a group of friends. To my horror i was the only stander in the room and concluded that i'd been doing it wrong my whole life. I trained my self to do it sitting and i think you actually get cleaner quicker. To make it work i did have to switch from wiping back to wiping forward.You just hold your cock out of the way with one hand if you had a 1 and a 2 so you dont get pee on your wrist. Stick your hand between your legs and wipe. Another benefit of wipeing forward is at the end of each wipe the toilet paper is right in your eye line, ready for inspection so yu can determin weather or not further wipes are required.

I would be interested to know if all sitters wipe forward and all standers wipe back.

My daughter is five and wipes standing up. My son is nine and sits while wiping. My husband and I sit. I do remember standing when I was younger though. I think it is not common, but perfectly normal!!!

I never knew people stood to wipe... Lol this is a great contraversy!
Comment Hidden (show)
I'm a sitter. I've always heard rumors about people standin' and wipin'.. But now those rumors are confirmed. Too each their own I guess :D

@UKGuy26 - while sitting.. It's best to wipe from front to back.. Meaning from your scrotum to your anus all the way to the top of your crack. Then on the 2nd last wipe.. Do it from back to front. And last wipe - scrotum to anus to the peak of the crack. You'll have a perfectly clean anal region.
Comment Hidden (show)
everybody does
Comment Hidden (show)
Some people may stand but if you think about it...it's not very sanitary. Sitting pulls your cheeks apart for easy cleaning. Stand just smears it on your ass and prevents you from getting it completely clean. So although it may be normal for you I would seriously rethink your method haha!

I do that too sometimes. Not all the time cause im trying to work on it. People always tell me its not normal

i stand and wipe. i don't think its weird... whats weird is sticking your arm inside the toilet where your poops at, so you can wipe.


stand up. its easier.



a really questionable topic is which direction you wipe. personally i like the front to back motion myself.

Yeah it's normal. I hang upside down from the ceiling when I wipe mine lmao

I always jog in place and salute with one hand while I wipe with the other. Helps to scream German obscenities too.

No that totally sucks man. If you wipe while standing then your butt-hole is crunched inward. then when you go sit down it will do the opposite. Exposing any remaining poo you left that's going right on your undies.
Comment Hidden (show)
WTF you have to stand up to wipe your ass are you guys telling me that when your sitting on the toilet you somehow have enough room to dip you goddamn hand into the toilet and wipe your asshole without touching the water? I mean there is no way to wipe your ass without at least leaning over which would require to partially stand up.

What self respecting man doesn't stand up to wipe, because for guys there's... Something in the way
