How do you wipe your butts?
Today I learnt that the majority of people remain seated to wipe their butts. I’ve always stood up and bent over. I assumed this is what everyone did. Today I learnt this is not the case and that I’m weird for standing up. I had no clue. My life is forever turned up side down.
I did a poll on my Instagram and found 70% of respondents said they remain seated. Would be intrigued how DL results compare.

What??? OP. Come on. Seriously. WHY would you stand up to wipe? When you are seated your cheeks are spread and you can clean most effectively and efficiently. Why on earth would you stand up, whereby, your cheeks will close and you will have less access to "main exit"? What a fucking weirdo.

R16 - agreed. You just keep wiping until it's gone.
The act of standing up can actually push a little bit more out. Plus I don't want to stick my hand inside a toilet bowl - gross. Particularly a public toilet.
Sitting and wiping is just weird and unsanitary.

If you eat a shitty diet - expect shitty things to happen on the way out.

On reflection - do you think this may be based on female experience? They wipe on the seat after urinating, then probably do the same - just switch to do the back for poop. And then they teach their kids to do the same?
My dad taught me to stand up to wipe. (I'm a male).

Most women I know tell me they don’t ever sit to pee in a public toilet. They stand/slightly squat, wipe and get out of there ASAP before someone tries to open the door or someone’s kid puts his head under the door gap. They have some funny stories about standing up, holding the door closed and holding the handbag to keep it off the floor. Unless someone had a medical issue I can’t imagine they are leaking. I stand to wipe and have never leaked poop and if I did I’d be changing my diet ASAP and seeing a doctor.

I won’t comment on my wiping methods but I would like to add something. I always remove my shirt (or whatever I’m wearing up top) when I poop. I don’t like the shit smell wafting up and marinating into my clothes causing me to walk around smelling like fart for the next 15 minutes. I’ve tried flushing as I’m pooping to see if that was better but the only thing worse than smelling like a fart is getting your bare ass sprayed with toilet water during the flushing process.

R31, First of all, yes, women sometimes squat over public toilets (which weren't the topic, but...) because they're not clever enough to place toilet paper on the seat as a germ barrier.
Secondly, you must know only women who haven't reached Medicare age (why do you think they make "Depends"?).
Finally, it makes no sense anatomically to stand up to wipe, increasing the distance between hand and butt.

How overweight are you? There should be more than enough space between the back of your ass and the toilet bowl rim.
Also, you bend over while sitting down of course, lifting your asshole in the process, leaving even more space between your ass and the toilet bowl rim.
You spread your ass cheeks by positioning them on the toilet seat and thus have perfectly clear and full access to wipe... unless you’re very overweight. Bit if you’re overweight, it makes even less sense to stand up to wipe. I’d wholeheartedly recommend to take a good long shower after pooping if you can’t reach your ass while sitting on the toilet.

How is this so complicated? As R50 says, you just need to lean forward. I do squats. I have a pretty big ass. I have no issue leaning forward (without standing up) to wipe. And, no, it doesn't require me putting my hand IN the toilet bowl. Honestly, I don't know how some of you have made it to old age.

I lean forward. Not completely stand. I may elevate myself more, but I do raise off the toilet, lean forward, spread cheeks with other hand then wipe back to front until clean.
I can’t imagine reaching down into the bowl and possibly getting my hand in shit water. That’s just gross.

I raise up, hover, wipe top down so any dingle berries fall in the toilet. I switch to a wet wipe. Then finish with a paper towel and hand soap. Clean as a whistle! You could eat off this hole! (And some have!)

Get off of bowl but crouch low for each wipe.
Start out dabbing with paper. Can’t start wiping immediately because it spreads it around. Then wet wipes to finish the job.
I carefully wipe back to front a few times. I found out I was missing some when I only did front to back. I’m not a woman, so it’s not an issue.

How? You’re asking how? With the hand that’s not busy wiping the butthole, that’s how. Why do you even need to ask this?
I remain utterly confounded by the practice of standing to wipe. I don’t understand what advantage it confers. All I can picture is a person’s butt cheeks—initially spread apart on the toilet during defecation—coming together to mash any remaining fecal matter all over and around the butthole. If you remain seated, your butthole can stay spread open and you clean the inner area better. Once you stand, all bets are off.
I feel certain that men who stand to wipe their asses have a lot more residual fecal matter than those of us who don’t even let our buttholes close back up all the way before we start cleaning them.
I can’t believe fully 1/3 of people stands to wipe.
