shifters are just as bad as standers imo.

cheeks need to be spread until the wiping commences.

this is correct, however, I must say, when standing, this is still possible.

Look, I have a general fear about people knowing about my bathroom habbits, so I'm not going to go into any further. I'll just say that I'm a stander, and my cheeks are spread until the wiping commences - actually, until the second wipe.

The comedian Jim Norton claims that he puts on foot up on the toilet, one on the ground, wraps the toilet paper around his finger, and goes up there that way.

as soon as the cheeks leave the toilet seat they are no longer spread.

Life long stander. I tried sitting once a few months back, but wasn't sure what to do.

I've had this conversation before and a few times I've encountered sitters who claimed to not know what I was talking about when I mentioned "skid marks," and to have never in their life found evidence of incomplete wiping on their underwear after the fact.

If that is the general rule, and it is only standers that ever face that problem, well, then I think we've got our answer, and it may be time to start learning a new way.

I seriously don't get how it is done. I sit back on a toilet -- I don't think there would be room between my butt and the back of the seat to even reach my hand down there. Plus, there is one other problem. One that no one ever talks about. If you wipe sitting down, how do you get to look at the toilet paper after you wipe? For that matter, how do you ever get a clear look at the poop before it is all covered in paper?

you wipe like 3-5 times and then look at the paper. even if the coast isnt clear, its not gonna be a dripping mess when u pull it out.

I'm a stander, and you won't convincer me to change. Regarding materials to wipe with, I was out of toilet paper one time and used Kleenex. It's like the perfect size. You don't have to rip the toilet paper, you just pull out a Kleenex, wipe, and grab another. Pretty useful iyam.

let's not even get into the folders vs. bunchers.


actually, let's get into it. i fold

bunch ftw

Bunch I guess, sort of a combination afaik.

What about with wet wipes - flatten it out, or bunch/fold? I unfold them and switch areas on the wipe, attempting to use as much of it as possible.

Standing and bunching has to be ******ed.

Please tell me that the majority here sits and folds, ONE TIME!

and doesn't use wet wipes. PLS

I'm sorry, but no way am I going for more than 1 wipe with anything

Well it works for me.

i'll give you a hint: you can use your hands to pull your cheeks apart.

(i feel like i'm giving gay sex advice itt)


btw, "bunch" ainec.



also, you cleanex/baby wipes people, are you sure these are okay to flush down the toilet? it would suck if you end up clogging your septic tank.

Poll of wadding vs folding please.

I had no idea standing wasn't standard. fml

you know what i find even weirder than standing (as a stander) is that apparently some of you actually thought this was normal. wtf. at least i know i'm a freak, and feel ashamed every time i go to wipe.

Sitting, folding, moist wipes FTW

i stand then lift one leg up onto the sink (kinda like a heisman trophy pose) and proceed to clean the brown eye using wet wipes. I lay a single across my pointer finger holding the end with my thumb and give it a good finger length clean, i usually get 3 to 4 wipes per WW. Anything else is uncivilized.

Sitting and folding FTW.

I have not used "moist wipes", but I would assume they would be extremely efficient and useful.

Idk, I'll worry about it when something bad happens.

OLOLOLOLO OWNED

This is an easy arguement. Standing is much more effective, at least for me. You see, I tend to wipe multiples times to achieve maximum cleanliness. However, this technique leads to multiple flushes (I've been known to clog many a toilet). So, after you complete the first wipe and are waiting for the water to fill back up, you can wipe the second and/or third time, depending on volume of TP used. After said whips are complete, you can wash your hands if the sink is nearby, thus saving you time on the total job.

It's tricky though, if you require additional wipes after your hands are washed, then you must master your technique so you don't touch anything undesirable so you don't have to wash your hands again.


Also, TP position is crucial, as show in the image below.

It's unfortunate you decided to steal Norton's entire bit after I posted it 15 posts above yours.
