I have always been standing up while whiping and I thought that everyone did but after I brought it up about a year ago I realised that more than half of my friends sits down. I have tried sitting down but it's impossible to reach and my arm always hits the side of the bowl which is extremely disgusting.

Sitting down.
It's pretty easy and straightforward. I'm the opposite of you, OP, I'm surprised anybody does it standing up.
I'll be honest here because why not. I do that standing up and I've never even thought about wiping while sitting until this question. At least while standing, my hand doesn't have to touch the toilet and neither can the newly feces-covered paper accidentally graze it either which would be unneeded messes.
How can you wipe your anus while standing up? Seems like you will be smearing the feces all between your buttocks. Sitting down and leaning forward is how it is done.
I wipe after peeing,standing up. (Guy)
Been doing it at least 30years .More hygienic.
I stand up. I don't get how people can sit down and do it. After all, they are sticking their hands down the loo where it could accidentally graze upon their leavings...
I stand up. I'll tell you one thing though, the person who invented automatic flush toilets was definitely a sitter.
There is only one correct answer, sitting down. Or hosing off in the backyard.
Some advice, use a shower nozzle then you won't have to wipe at all. Best of all it doesn't smear that way.
I monitored myself. Apparently I'm sitting down, and I reach around with my left hand while leaning to the right so my ass comes off the toilet on the left side and I can put my arm down. LOL!
To OP - When you tried to wipe sitting were you going between your legs? If so, I'd say that's why it didn't work. I've been managing my whole life with zero toilet bowl contact.
I first wipe sitting down as to prevent drizzles or drops, and then I stand to wipe- so I can get the whole butt and thigh area. I wipe (as stated before) until paper is clean.
In my opinion, standing is far more superior but MUCH for degrading to stand because you kind of squat and make weird faces (At least I do because I'm concentrating) but it doesn't matter to me because nobody sees me anyways. If you sit, there is a much bigger risk of touching the bowl or the water and it's so much harder to get everything. If you squat you can easily get everything without difficulties.
I must admit I have never touched the bowl or water and I am a life long sitter. Next time however I shall attempt to stand and tell you how it went.
Yeah, I just tried it. I tried several times to wipe but it was impossible to reach. I still don't understand how people can do it! xD
lol, this is making me realize there's more of a technique to what we all call "normal" or "natural" than we realize. As a sitter who has never had any problem "getting it all" and has never touched the water or bowl, it sounds so weird that someone would not be able to "reach". But then I realized that it's probably because they assume sitters reach between legs... as far as I know no one goes between legs, it's always lifting one cheek, or scooching forward and reaching from behind. For me, the side approach gives me complete clearance. The thing that disturbs me most about standing is that you have to drop your shit paper through the air from your ass, I don't like the idea of seeing it fall from any height.
Yes, it seems so unnatural, I couldn't even go ahead with it after standing how on earth do they manage!?
I wipe standing up it comes naturally, what about in those public loos you have to be with me on this one
This has been asked at least 3 times here before.
The population seems to be divided roughly half and half.
I thought everyone wiped standing up. I tried wiping sitting down once and it is just way easier, more efficient, and more comfortable to do it standing up.
