Wiping

I am a stander. Until recently, I never knew there was any other way. During a drunken conversation about poo, my process was revealed. To my shock and surprise, I was called a freak and told that it was unhygenic. Apparently, it is also weird to look at the TP, to know that you are totally clean. Feeling somewhat self-conscious, I got online and discovered that the world seems to be split about 50/50, with the sitters outnumbering slightly. When I passed this info on to my sitting "friends", I was met with further ridicule. After reading some message boards, I have come to the conclusion that sitters are HATERS, and that standing is considered something gross! I take pride in my personal hygene and I feel that some things need to be cleared up. First of all, standing does not cause poo to squish all over your ass. I'm not standing at attention, and how much poo do you have left over anyway?!? Secondly, never in my life have I had chunks of fecal matter falling off of my ass as I stood up! If you think shit would be running down your leg, than you need to look at your diet. If it is a rare messy occasion, I hover while I wipe enough until I can resume my normal position, so I don't have to stick my hand into a shitty toilet. Finally, If you're not looking at the TP, how can you be sure that you're properly clean? Also, you should probably be monitoring these things to look out for health issues! Sorry if I seem overly dramatic, but the hate must stop!

so, what's the normal one? sitting? how do you wipe it then?

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.

o.o How else... would you wipe it...? Wow, am I not supposed to be standing up?!

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.

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?

i stand up too! now, i'm self concious

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

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.

I do it. Sitting I find weird cos I am practically sticking my hand in the toilet.

I standup too, how the hell are u supposed to wipe sitting down?!?!?

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.

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...

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

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!

hahahahaha.
these comments are shit crazy.
this is amazing!

I didn't realize people thought it wasn't normal. I do it too. XD

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.

Ummm...I lean to one side..

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

Wow... You guys wipe?

Uhm...WTF??? Lmao, I didn't know there was anyother way to come about wiping your ass! Well, I've learned a lot today

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.

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.

doesn't matter, usually no one's looking

sitting down and doing it seems awkward to me, and somehow les clean

I was born in the good old US of A, and roll my ass to one side, and get one cheek up (left cheek up for me, I wipe left-handed) :)wipe from my taint back towards the bunghole, away from my nuts. Thought everyone wipes like this except the mexicans on the construction jobs, who stand on the toilet seats to poo...and leave balls of tp on the floor of the porta-john.

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.

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?

I would think everybody stands. otherwise how is it possible/ easy? lol uh....

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?

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.

@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?

Oh my god LOL. some people actually stand up?! XD how the hell do you stand up and wipe your ass?! XD

I regret clicking this.

To each their own I suppose.

Im a sitter. The way i do it is to not sit fully covering the toilet seat hole. Leave enough room for your right hand (my left is too uncoordinated) to go behind and wipe. I also check the paper to see if i have the all clear. Dont forget to throw a small amount of toilet paper in the bowl beforehand to prevent splashback.

Thank you for taking the time and interest to learn how I shit.

I didn't no it was abnormal to do that, I always do it lol! Just relax, itl be alright

I don't even wipe anymore...instead, I get in the shower and rinse off. :)

And wiping back to front will spread bacteria, dumbshit up there^. Ever heard of a urinary tract infection?

You'll get shit on your balls...

oh shit, i didnt even know people did it sitting down....how would that even work..i have now began to question myself hmmmmmm

I always wondered about this! I do it also, i dont c any other way...

I do it too- people think it's weird, but it's just a better working angle.

haha no sweetheart, its normal.

Why wouldn't you stand?

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

Huh. I just walk over to the drapes and swipe it.

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

I never heard of standing up before, sounds like it would be rather inefficient. However, I did hear about how the Romans used to do it. At the pantheon there were public sponges on the end of a stick. And then wonder why you die so early.

this is one of the funniest things i have ever read!!
i was a stander until a year or 2 ago, now i wipe a bit while sitting to get the worst of it out the way when your arse is most open (kind of prepping your butt for the main course), then i stand and wipe until spotless to finish. You gotta stand at some point cos you cant get the same amount of oomph in the wipe if youre sitting. but i generally stand in public toilets because i dont want my hand anywhere near that dirty bowl!

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 !

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

Don't lie down...

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

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

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.

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.

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

i get my girlfriend to do it :)

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

:S the comments have made me lol so much i forgot what i was going to type

The way I see it, chicks sit, men stand up.

ohhhhh toilet paper! i use my hand

I squat when I wipe my behind. :)
I hate those automatic flushing toilets because it flushes before I'm done wiping... Lol :P

I Am a god at wiping

lol i stand i thought it wasnt normal but yay it is lol what is normal anyway

I think sitting and wiping is the only way to go. I had no idea there was such a thing as standing to wipe until I saw my ex do it. I was in shock. It is on of the reasons he is now my ex, see one day he bent down to play with my puppy and to my horror he had poo on the back of his jeans right along the waist line. Its very unclean to stand and wipe IMHO. Sorry :/ Also everyone make sure to always go front to back.

Ass long ass you get the ass clean what is the problem? Up-down--- come on!!!!!!

This is the one of the longest threads I've read on here and just makes me laugh. Because poop gets funny after awhile and everyone is so serious. I'm usually pretty mature but, like I said, poop is hilarious after awhile.

And I'm a stander for the record. I thought everyone did that until recently, but I want to try sitting now. :)

I never knew people did this.. never met anyone that does it.. weird.. where did you guys learn to do this?

As long as your don't wipe back to front...

...wait, so i'm not supposed to be standing? so how the hell...?

Last year I went on holidays and whilst in the hotel the door on the toilet got knocked open and myself and my boyfriends mate were shocked to find my boyfriend standing in the toilet wiping his butt! We were so confused - why the hell do you stand up to wipe? Are you serious? Lol the thought of standing had never crossed our minds! He was brought up in an asian country though where they had squat toilets so maybe he got it from there? Not sure. As for the your hand will dip in the toilet water - Here in Australia the water level is quite low in the toilet (only a few cms deep) so theres no chance your going to 'dip' your hand in whilst in the US the water level is quite high so I can see that as an issue; and wiping - I have a degree in childcare and during my studies they told us when changing nappies on children and wiping - always front to back - otherwise poo gets near the genitals and causes infections.

how else can a person wipe? kind of hard to fit your hand between the lid and toilet, or the lid and your hand!

I STAND WHEN WIPING AND PROUD OF IT. Have been doing since I learned how to wipe

i do it standing.... how the hell can u do it sitting? lol its not possible

uh, yeah i guess, i know i stand up when wiping my ass but how can you do it while sitting down on the potty

i think its normal i do that all the time i think its easier and faster

Heck no I don't stand up if you do gray you are trapping the poop between your cheeks u gotta lean to one side or space you cheeks out using both sides of the seat for maximum wiping efficiency

hey whatever gets the dodo out your butt!!!

Really? People actually think this isn't normal?? I thought EVERYONE did this, not just me. lol

I stand up too!!! I thought I was the only one. I feel better now. I think its nomral. I feel cleaner when I do that. I stand up when I wipe my front too. God I'm weird. lol

Both male and female genders should ALWAYS wipe your ass from the bottom up, otherwise, you will have feces on your genitals! :-)

What the fudge! I thought everyone did that...

I do it in public restrooms

oh yes, completely. i like to do a handstand, it makes wiping your ass more interesting :D *sarcasm intended*

I stopped doing that when I was about 6-7 ha ha ha.

What? are you supposed to wipe sitting down?

I never knew people stood to wipe... Lol this is a great contraversy!

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.

LMAO.

toward the front or toward the back?

I stand up, rip, fold, wipe, look, throw, repeat about six times, and flush, in that order.

I dont poop..

Im taking a huge stinky dump at this very moment

three words -

what.
the.
fuck?!

Wait, you stand up to wipe your ass?

It might be normal but it sure isn't typical, as far as I know.

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.

crazy people. I love this website. And no, is not normal.

I sit and wipe between my legs. Front to back, and a pinch in the middle. Cheeks too... just so much easier to make sure you are clean when you sit. Hard to wipe an asshole that is clenched shut!

What are you that fat,that you can't reach without standing up.?

This is my favorite post on IIN.

Wipe sitting down you asshole. If you stand up it'll all get smashed in your crack and make a mess. You dillhole. Funny bc I'm taking a dump as I write this. Lol. Stay seated when you wipe. No point in standing

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

It's totally normal! I wipe on my socks upside down. But...is this normal?

everybody does

But what if u get shit juice on ur butt from the crap flopping in the toilet, would ya stand up then, with juices running down the back of ur ass? Just squat and wipe, squat and wipe!

You are a freak

No! This will close your cheeks together, smearing your Marmite all over your mounds.

same. But I also do it before i sit.

gross... you probably get poop on stuff and you cant clean your ahole properly in that position. i bet you have horrible skid marks

ok i don't. now i feel awkward.

haha. are you serious? well as long as that toilet paper isnt getting stuck between your cheeks then i guess ita all good.

haha

That's completely normal. I didn't know people DIDNT check the TP. And ow would you wipe sitting down? That sounds uncomfortable

Normal. It may render the inside of your asscrack a bit dirty, but that's what your underwear is for.

Would you clean your dishes by wiping them off with tissue?
For God's sake, invest $30 in a bidet and use water to wash with and tp to dry.

Most natural/normal to stand up and wipe your anus clean I like that part of it especially after I have relieved myself: I clean slowly, a few times with double sheets: Then I wash with a cloth to be sure to be sure my anus is clean

When I was a kid I used to stand up... Some time in my teens I actually thought about the process for the first time, and decided it would be a far better job done sat down with arse cheeks spread, so that's how I've rolled ever since.

How do you wipe sitting down?

the best thing to do is get yourself regular take your shit first thing in the morning wipe either sitting or standing. The key is to shower and thoroughly clean your ass immediately after going, that way you wont have to worry about fecal odors during the day.

Well, im one patriotic son of a bitch! so i stand up, march in place with one hand over my heart singing the star spangled banner, i procceed to say the pledge of allegiance, then i do a lil twirl, bend over and wipe. then i take the used toilet paper and hold it to the sky to reinact the famous lion king scene BAHHHHHHHHHHHHH SOWHENYAAAAAAHHHHH MAMABEATSSEBABAAHHH, SOHWENYA !!!!!! then i drop it into the toilet, flush, then march out of the bathroom.

I'm a sitter but my Mom always used to wipe my ass so I'm fine with either one lol

When I'm finished, I don't fully stand, but bend over and wipe. No fuss.

What ever u feel comfortable with. Just don't leave any dribbles on the toilet seat :P
~Luciana

I lean to one side, but then I check the tp

IIN to lose my moral sexual boundaries when I look at porn?

Unless I went diarrhea... I stand with one foot on the counter/wall and one on the ground, than i lean some for better reach and wipe. I check the paper and sometimes wipe again with new paper if necessary. I shut the lid and flush the toilet with my foot because I figure it's cleaner than my hand I wiped with. I started the water with my elbow and squirt the liquid soap with my forearm, wash my hand and voila!

ah i apologise as the comment to which i refer has been deleted by the editors

i am neither, i have for years now much preferred the bat pooping position, i am lucky enough to have a very strongly fitted and equally fortunately low placed curtain rail running some three foot above our turd depositor (if i can on the rare occasion bring myself to defecate there, bat style being the only way i can with my condition - see my question for full detail) i fix my trousers between my feet and hop on the bog seat then onto the window ledge, spin round and then leap and grab the rail, tucking my feel and clothing behind the rail, performing a half pull up i then shit with ease and pleasure, producing some wonderful full unbroken logs, and the best bit is that i hardly have to wipe my rusty cake hole as the badger comes out clean, only thing to contend with is the considerable tsunami and splash he or she makes, this is another dilemma for another day, and if i feel i need to or that the check-wipe produces some brown skids i normally have bog paper held in my ears, in this curled up position i have and i try not to boast but i have no need on shit paper inspection as i have a clear view of my ringer and it's cleanliness

Yes I think it's normal to stand. I myself am a sitter but I have stood before and will stand again. I also use baby wipes proudly and have recently started to follow up with aloe vera gel as it soothes the hemorrhoids. Always freshness, especially if you get hemorrhoids because otherwise one can get the itching and the itching begets the scratching and the scratching begets the skid mark. And the skid mark is unclean.

Ok, I'm a sitter, and I've seen plenty of explanations on how to wipe while sitting, but I haven't seen an explanation with the standers. Do you bend your knees? What's your stance? Do you have your feet together or spread apart? Do you bend at your waist?

When someone says they stand, I picture someone at military attention well in front of the toilet, somehow cramming the toilet paper in between their cheeks, and depending on the type of toilet paper, leaving debris on the floor in front of the toilet.

At least that's how my 12-year-old stepson does it, and not very well. Inevitably we find little balls of toilet paper and poop on the floor on a regular basis. And he uses so much toilet paper that he inevitably clogs the toilet. I'd like to hear how the standers avoid the above.

i like to sit but stand or sit i dont
give a shit

I wipe lying down. I shit sitting down, then get off and have lie down, stick arse out of bed, dry it by a nearby portable electric fan, then wipe off the dried clinkers which fall into a piece of paper provided for this purpose, then get up and put collected clinkers into the toilet. I've saved an awful lot of money on TP, I can tell you!

I tend to sit, see I'm lazy, and it gives me a longer resting period.. LOL Also. I never did know that people stood up to wipe, lol Guess ya learn things everyday

I thought everyone did this. Now that I look at the comments... But this is perfectly normal

If you stand up you can wipe more thoroughly but the main reason I do it is because I don't want the toilet roll to touch the back of the toilet and get all germy before I wipe!

Normal

How do blind people wipe this question has haunted me for ages it's a visual activity.

I usually do the first wipe sitting down, then stand up to finish the job, so I guess i'm a little of both!

Wait, I'm supposed to sit? The ONLY time I ever sit is in a public restroom, and I STILL hover above the seat. I don't use a public restroom often, unless I'm taking a pee, which is a different matter.

i never realy thought abut that but i do it too.

I didn't know people wiped while sitting down ... how does that even work :$ When you stand up it doesn't get all smashed up , because there shouldn't be that much left in there after you take a crap ... It won't make a mess unless you have fucking diarhea or somthing . :3 like wtf

NO COMMENT

To everyone who questions the purpose of this question... Wiping is an artform! You have to do it right, lest you end up with your hand in dirty toilet water. Standing really is the best way to go.

wipes is the way to go... better then TP!! when using wipes you can stand, sit, lean to the side or bend either way, it doesn't matter your bung hole will be clean and fresh.

Where have you people been? My family has used a bidet for decades. If you had traveled outside the USA most other countries use them. It's great, a spritz, a blow dry and you are as fresh as a daisy.

Damn, the things have been used for centuries in everywhere but here in the USA. I wonder why we Americans still use trees? We will use up our trees just wiping our ass.

Oh yea, when I have to, I tip forward, raise a cheek and do the paperwork. I have to get up high enough so I don't get my hand in the water. So I guess I slightly stand up to get the job done.

i do both depending on the mood i'm in

I sit, because poo and gravity do not mix...

how do people wipe sitting down? how do u reach it? standing up is easier

I was considering making a topic about this, but I guess it has already been done.

Anyway, for the record, I stand as well.

What other way is ther

How the fuck can you wipe without standing

lmao no shit dumbass!!!!

i do it i think it is alot easyer.

It depends...if I'm in a public restroom them I stand up but if I'm at home I wipe sitting down

Yeah I stand up to wipe my butt but you can sit down or stand up, do whatever you feel comfortable doing really.

I thought everyone stood up to wipe....

haha! hey man, doesn't the poo like drip down ur legs before you get to wipe it? especially diarhoea poo?

It is simple to take a shit while sitting down in 3 ez steps:

Step 1: Squeeze that last turd out.
Step 2: Lift dominant hands sides ass up, while leaning on the other side.
Step 3: Rake your asshole with toilet paper, folded in half. I myself use kind of a pinching method, hard to explain.

How the FUCK can you wipe your ass standing up? Obv the shit will squeeze between your cheeks creating a blotch of shit in between your asshole, creating more surface area of shit stain. Maybe that's why some woman have stained skin in a circle around their asshole.

Ok heres my take on this, I think standers are a bit weird. surely you should just kind of roll your own bodyweight to the left whilst sitting, then by using the left arm and hand crossing in front of the body, pull the right arse cheek open a bit more to get easy access. using the gap between right cheek and looseat to go in with the right hand and wipe the chocolate starfish front to back. drop the offending paper in the pan (still seated but with a left and forward lean) and repeat until clean. I also roll the paper round my right hand to create optimum thickness before sliding it off the hand and using it as a wad, so neither really folding nor crumpling. perfectly normal id say. Try it for yourselves all you weirdo standers.

Nope not normal I have a friend that does this and he also wipes front to back so he gets poop in his butt crack and then leaves it on the toilet seat.

OK, this is just tooo far out there....

When I was younger I would stand while wiping my own ass it's normal.

Ofcourse that's normal, if anything it's abnormal to put your hand down there

it depends if im at home then i'll stand cuz its easier to get it all ...however if im at a public restroom or im at school i'll sit just depends on the size of the stall :D

standing up is more effective then sitting, as far as proper cleaning is concerned, my technique is similar to that of serton

I stand up. Then put one foot on the bath.

I wipe from back to front, from front to back and give my bum hole a good circular wipe.

In the end I would not get that kind of access while sitting down and I have a nice clean bottom...

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.

All I know is women shouldn't wipe from the back to the front. And who would put a shit house that close to a snack bar LOL

WHAT? That doesn't help!

i do it sitting first, then when i stand i do it again.

oh man... too funny!

I do it too!
I feel as though it's more comfortable! :D

Personally, I'm a sitter. But I find that many people do stand to wipe in between their cheeks!!

I have some sort of this problem to.
Sometimes i get the feeling to put my hand on my ass or between it not in it LOL
If i do this im like what the fuck am i doing lol
Help?

wow!

with which hand do you wipe ???

Whatever is takes to get your ass squeeky clean, baby doll.

Just make sure you wash the shit off of them when your done

Doesnt rally matter just make sure you wipe!!

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

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'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.

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 stand up all the way.................lol

hahahaha wtf man

You jus half stand and do it. Sitting down and doin it is for lazies! Lol

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

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

yer i sit down but year lol

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

wtf?

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.

Sure. Gives yourself a better angle to work with, right?

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).

its totally normal

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. :)

@DBess

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

and I stand.. yo.

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

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???

I take it you don't have a hairy ass?

This is anawkward subject

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.

To each their own. Even if you have to stand on your head- Whatever gets the job done.

um i reckon it's just personnal preference. doesnt really make that much of a difference.
im the same as u.

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"!!

Ha brilliant!! im a sitter myself but what ever floats eyy

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.

every one is differnt so I guess you are in a way.
