A bit back, I had a psychology professor that brought up an interesting thing that I definitely never had thought of. That different people wipe in different fashions.

So let's have it, which way do you wipe your ass? :eek:

Is this a joke? What does "Sitting" or "Standing" mean in reference to which way do you wipe? Isn't it "Front to back" or "back to front"?

Well, we all know Pomeroy wipes front to back, so as not to get his delicate VAG infected with poo bits.

I've created such a thread before.

Sitting or standing?
Push or pull? (Or alternating)
Fold or wad?
Reuse or Not?
From behind or between the legs?

I actually had a guy in the stall next to me at work wipe standing up. It was most decidedly one of those...

I only stand up halfway. Do people actually stand up all the way to wipe? That doesn't make sense.

On another note, I also thought this thread was going to be about direction of said wipe. On one hand, wiping towards the genitals is... well, wiping towards the genitals. On the other hand, wiping towards the back just feels funny sometimes.

See my post just before yours.

This is why I asked if people actually stand up all the way. If you stand with your knees at a 67.5 degree angle and then also lean forward, it helps in pulling the cheeks apart.

You'll be surprised. Yes, you have to lean to the side a bit, but it's FAR from standing.

In regards to the sitting standing thing.

Have any of you ever had to shit so bad, that there was no holding it. And the only place for miles is a gas station with bathrooms so dirty the only option is to hover? This is a good occasion where one must stand and wipe at the same time. Hence, the "reach around cheek grab and pull" method.

Here's a question.......how does a blind person know when they are done wiping? :confused:

I always wipe down the seat with TP before sitting on any public toilet, even if it looks clean. Seat's got to be pretty much made of diarrhea for me not to sit on it, as I have nerve damage in my legs that causes me to get cramps if I hover.

I actually googled it and found a lot of ground rolling-ly hilarious answers. Though, a blind person finally chimed in and apparently you just know it's clean.

I believe they probably just use too much paper...

I stand, and kinda...pull back on cheek with on hand, lean forward a bit, and wipe up towards the back.

I understand the sitting while peeing. I do too if I have the option; only at my own home though. It's the logical choice. But, why sit to pee and stand to poop? It's like you're in bizzarroland. Like someone said, "It'll change your life."

Luckily, it's never came up. If I had Chron's disease or something, I'd always travel with one of those camping chamber pots in case I ran across a toilet like that. If I absolutely had to, I suppose I could try to hover to poop, but eventually my legs would cramp up and I'd probably fall on the toilet anyway.

Bidet should be an option!

I never understood bidets. Wouldn't you wipe after using a bidet anyway? Otherwise you'll just be walking around with a wet ass. And you'd want the spray to be powerful enough to wash away even the stingiest of dingleberries, and with that kind of power wouldn't it feel kind of like anal sex with a limp midget?

I voted standing, but it's kinda like I get up off the seat hunched over to do my business. I'm not really sure how I would would be able to reach otherwise.

Edit: also I am in the camp that wipes the seat down with TP before I even think of sitting on a public toilet. And when I sit, I either have TWO of those seat protectors, or about an inch of TP between my ass and some venereal disease ridden seat.

On a side note, I try to not poop at work or in other public restrooms. I consider those for emergencies only. As in "OMG!!! IMMA SHIT MYSELF NOW IF I DON'T USE THIS PUBLIC SHITTER!!!"

I never knew standing was an option. I feel like I have a whole new lease on life!

Being that this has turned into a thread about poop, I finally have a reason to share something. I took a trip to Amsterdam a few years back and ended up using a restroom at a nice restraunt. At first I was confused by the capital G and D on the doors, but the toilet was the real suprise. Instead of American toilets where your waste falls into a pool of water, the Neatherlands toilet has a slightly slanted shelf in the center of the bowl. Thats right, you shit on a shelf. It's all there for you and God to see. It was just so damn...odd. I don't know why I was disgusted, but I was.

Also, how the hell do you do the sitting thing? There's no way I'd get my hand behind my back and down betwixt arse cheeks and the seat. All I can imagine happening is one of three things, touching your own arse and therefore your own shit,touching the seat and therefore someone else shit/arse sweat or your hand touching the water if it's got a higher than average water level.

Oh, since we're talking about poop now, I should add that I have unnaturally large poop, and have a history of trouble with clogging non-industrial toilets constantly. While I was away at school this fall, my parents moved into a new house. When I got home, I pretty much shat right away. I had bad vibes, because everything about the toilet screamed "problem" -- the pipes were skinny, and it had a narrow aperture, etc. I was right.

I clogged it so effectively my dad had to replace the toilet to unclog it. The new toilet will be much better, I think, because it was built on the entirely correct assumption that my shit is. . . epic. Magnificent. Mondo. Amazing. Shitty.

This sounds like a thread I would have started a couple years ago. Ha!

I use wet wipes though I wipe with a bit of paper first. The wipes are very refreshing and get you super clean.

I also never thought people wiped any other way than just leaning forward and wiping. This is bizarre.

The best thing about taking enormous dumps, is to pinch it all off at once, so as that the turd hits the water with such force you create a tidal wave of water that cleans your bottom. Problem solved. No need for TP.



Seriously though, at my work, the toilets are so powerful that if you flush while still sitting you run the risk of giving yourself an enormous ass hickey. The suction practically sucks the shit right outta ya. The water whips around your dangling nuts with hurricane force. It's dangerous and wonderful all at the same time.

At my old job we used to make fun of this guy because it sounded like he was scrubbing a floor when he wiped. Seriously, rub a brush over some wet bricks and that's what it sounded like when he was in the stall next to you.

To this day we have no idea what he was doing in there.

On a slightly related note, I had the option of getting a free wax done. I had never felt so much cleaner after a crap than that time period. But the waxing hurt like hell, I will probably never go through that again.

For those that wipe after standing up, how do you prevent the poop that you are wiping from falling into your pants/shorts/underwear directly below you?

Never do the first wipe standing completely up. Squat for the first wipe and you're generally safe after that.

At my old job we used to make fun of this guy because it sounded like he was scrubbing a floor when he wiped. Seriously, rub a brush over some wet bricks and that's what it sounded like when he was in the stall next to you.

To this day we have no idea what he was doing in there.

I am disturbed beyond belief but I can't stop laughing.

I think we're going to have to start a folded vs. crumpled poll after this. And then we'll cross-reference the polls to see if there's any correlation to standing/sitting and folding/crumpling.

Is that where crumping got started? People who crumple their toilet paper and stand to wipe?

This sounds like a thread I would have started a couple years ago. Ha!

I use wet wipes though I wipe with a bit of paper first. The wipes are very refreshing and get you super clean.

I also never thought people wiped any other way than just leaning forward and wiping. This is bizarre.

Agreed on the wet wipes. If you stepped in dog crap, would you use a dry piece of paper to wipe it off?

I would consider wipes just as eco-friendly since you have to use far fewer to get clean.

Also: sitting it the right way, standing is just weird.

I lean to the side, front to back, crumple. Folding is for bitches.That just always seemed too risky. If you don't get a uniform crumple, you could end up with shit on your hands, which is not optimal.

Plus, count me in for another that didn't realized people actually stood. I don't really get the advantage. Seems like too much work.

A wad has much more surface area. The fold doesn't work as well. I've tried both. The wad has more of the patented 'nooks and crannies'. It's the equivalent to using a puff or a wash cloth in the shower. The wash cloth doesn't work as well as a puff.

What I don't understand... is don't your ass-cheeks close when you stand up? How this works, will be a mystery to me. That is, until someone here decides to enlighten us.

This. Wiping standing up defies physics.

I am literally floored by the number of people who say they wipe standing up. At first I thought people were joking. I cannot comprehend how you wipe standing up, nor the purpose or benefit of it.

I also have never been in a bathroom with someone who wipes standing up, at least to my knowledge. While I am not in the stall with them, you can tell when someone stands after having been on the toilet, and to my knowledge, every time I've been in there, I've heard the paper come out before the flush and stand.

Your folds are too small. I use a combination fold/wad that works well for me. It alleviates the hidden nooks in the wad that lets my finger penetrate into my bunghole, but still gives me a decent amount of ripple for peeling the turd remains from my butt hair.

Actually, I think I do something similar. I don't just randomly wad. I more or less create a ball by wrapping around my hand, then removing from my hand I am left with a wadded fold, or maybe a folded wad. Either way, it's more like a wrapped up ball of paper. When I hear people talk about folding, I think that they are using a flat piece. It seems like this would be difficult to hang on to.

A lot of it has to do with how your potty training went. Now, after 20+ years, you're going to be good at it. No matter how the fuck you do it. Even if it's upside down. I just didn't realize this was a whole awakening for some. I thought it would be a simple preference poll.

I shit at 2 places. Work and home. Work, I have wipes in my desk (need to restock and bring some more with me tomorrow). I use cheap ones (like .98 cents for 80 of them) and they are somewhat thin and I need very little so I consider that more environmentally friendly than using rolls and rolls of TP. I bring the wipes into the bathroom when I go--I put them in a little baggy at home and take them to work, and I stuff that ziplock baggy in my pocket when I head to the work bathroom.

If I REALLY need to go somewhere else, I don't. I'm a master of holding it. But if I had to go, I would just use TP and clean as best I could--maybe use a wipe when I get home or something. I've been using wet wipes since I was a teen or maybe earlier--I just like them. And they aren't harsh on your ass like some TP--like the work-grade "cardboard" TP. Man that shit is harsh.

I guess if you really wanted to be eco-friendly you could use a washcloth each time you shat. I'd actually rather do that than use just TP any day.

Actually, that's interesting. Because I look at the tissue after I blow my nose as well. I need to know just exactly what I've just blown out of my sinus cavity. I wouldn't be able to blow my nose and then just wad up the tissue and throw it away, as that would not be satisfying enough. I wonder if there is some sort of correlation between looking at your shit smear and snot rag.

Hmm, that reminds me of the strangest two places I've pooped:

Once I really really had to go and my cousin and I went to a Blockbuster video to ask if they had a bathroom. They were complete assholes and despite my pleas refused to let me use their facilities. By that point I had to go and decided to take the watery shit right at their back employee door, hoping that when they left for the night some of them would step in it. It felt great.

Another time was a White Trash Cocktail-infused (prescription diet pills and Jack Daniels) hazy high school night when a friend and I decided to take shits off of a freeway overpass (the pedestrian walkway before the Fallbrook Ave exit on the southbound 101 in the Valley for those of you that know Southern California). I remember taking a shit but not much else as we were pretty fucked up. But honestly even that memory could be wrong as I might have thought I took a shit. Either way we hung our asses over the side, took a shit (or thought we did) and ran like hell. I do remember my friend cut himself because the chain link fence was twisted off at that point.

I have enough trouble pissing in a urinal next to another stranger. I have a nervous bladder. Taking a number 2 is worse. Heck, if I'm mid-turd and someone knocks on the door, my sphincter snaps shut like a scared turtle. Slice a turd in half and have fun wiping/getting the rest out cleanly. :)

I just like privacy when I do my doody. When I'm in a bathroom pissing and I can hear the dude next to me grunting and groaning--I just can't be one of those guys. Sometimes at home I'll turn the bathroom fan on for white-noise so I can't hear the tv or wife/baby. But I've been like that since I was young.

In addition to my earlier post of "Of course I sit!" I'd like to add "Of course I dampen the toilet paper!" I mean, my sink is easily within reach, and it'd be silly NOT to, really. And on top of that, "Of course I look at the toilet paper when I think I'm done!" How else do you KNOW you're done? You don't; you assume. And really, is having a clean ass something you want to assume?

That actually came up in conversation a month or two ago. Me, my brother, two cousins, and two family friends were having All-You-Can-Eat wings at Hooters, and one family friend went to the toilet. Soon, a cousin followed him to urinate, and turned the light off when he left. Honestly I was horrified. "That's fucked up! How will he know when he's done shitting?" I asked.

"What, you mean you check the toilet paper after you wipe?" They laughed, jokingly.

It was then, that I realized my brother and my cousins have shitty asses. Since this moment, I consider them all unclean.Who are you kidding? People love shit, they love talking about shit, and they love TO shit.I think this was an appropriate, but missed, opportunity to talk about that awesome feeling of a shit well deserved. The best is filling up at an "AYCE" ribs affair, and then later doing the deed in the privacy of your home bathroom. Afterward I stand up, feeling fifteen pounds lighter with a rib-sated stomach, and walk like I own the goddamn world.

Legit. I wait until I feel finished, and then I check (Too much hassle to check every other time). Considering all the times I'm wrong, and I'm not finished even though I feel like it, I'd certainly be wary of those who don't check at all.

It was then, that I realized my brother and my cousins have shitty asses. Since this moment, I consider them all unclean.

And you are correct to do so. They are befouled and should never be allowed to sit on nice things.

I tried wiping standing up yesterday, and I don't get it. Your ass cheeks squeeze shut and makes it very difficult.

Bend slightly. None of us thought it was necessary to include the note: "Don't make your hand into an asscheek sandwich."

Take a vacation to India, your mind will be blown

The most confusing thing about that picture is how clean the orifice in the center is...

Actually, considering how your plugs and sockets work, cleanliness is vital, you should be a god damn expert.

This is very true. Cleanliness is of the utmost importance, lest one face the dreaded Santorum. :eek:


I tried wiping standing up yesterday, and I don't get it. Your ass cheeks squeeze shut and makes it very difficult. It's uncomfortable, and unless you use a tremendous amount of paper, your hand goes into your butt.

Standing = fail

As a "stander" myself, I think it's obvious that you don't stand completely upright when cleaning yourself. You hunch over the bowl, so that your glutes are still open.

Then again you might just have a big ass. :p

This is possibly the greatest, most relevant thread in the entire history of the internet. Sitting down man myself. Even for peeing. I clean the seat every time in public and don't believe in ass-gaskets. Assuming you have no open sores on your ass, anything powerful enough to leap off the seat and into your arse-hole is powerful enough to tear through a few sheets of tissue paper. I have extensive files on the bathroom habits of people at work: who I can shake hands with, who I am better off avoiding, who I don't want to borrow books from, and who I want to use a piece of paper towel to open the door after. Wiping standing up in any fashion other than the most dire of circumstances is an affront to humanity in my book. Front to back, a little back to front action just in case and you always check the paper.

First, some people here seem to think that standing equals completely straight knees and waist. For me, standing just means my butt's not on the seat. It may be hovering over the seat, but not on the seat.

Second, anyone here in a country with squat pots? No one sits on those at any point, even during the pooping.

The only time this has ever happened to me is post-sex, when a little of the crusted-up Love Juice has "sealed the tip", as it were. Then it's just a matter of a little squeeze to loosen it up and I'm back to my former single-stream glory.

Uncircumcised no. You know how your lips can be glued together in the morning? Same thing down stairs. Circumcised... I've no idea. It's been years, other symptoms would of shown by now.

As for morning wood, it just means you need to pee. Your bladder is full so it uses your wang as temporary parking, note how it's usually preloaded when you do pee. I've never had a problem, I win by being small! I just lose everywhere else.

I've known about ratemypoo.com's existance for years. Its been around forever.

I'm not clicking on that Swap link no matter what though.

Don't worry, it's just text, mostly the story of how it came about. The visual horrors are given very strong warnings, this is almost too horrible for even SA. An exert:

They're laughing. It's over. I check my revolver but I have fired off my last cartridge at an Indian I caught eating a discarded shoe from my trash. I place the pistol to my temple and pull the trigger anyway. One of them seems to be crying. Click. Click. Click.

It's a sad state of affairs when this thread is five pages and going strong.

I, for one, am completely suprised. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everyone_Poops)

Oh... and I knew!!!!!


P.S. So, here's the thing, as we've seen it's really quite common to wipe standing. But... here is the one we haven't touched on much... who out here wipes by going in front between the legs? I know you're out there.

Oh I use it to read and mobile game.

Mobile gaming on the can is great. I've done around 300 Picross DS puzzles and the entire 1st Professor Layton game while on the shitter.

I hope someone slid food under the door, or at least came to check on you...

Careful of piles man. That'll lead to whole other dimension of which way to wipe.

Since the picture is a "FAIL", isn't this really an argument for sitting?

J.D.: You're right, my friend, man is the only animal that wears pants during twosies.
Turk: It's just so unnatural.

I prefer no pants while going, assuming I'm at home. It just feels right. So, pants or no pants?

I have roommates, so they prefer that I wear pants all the time. As such, it seems like WAAAAYY too much trouble to take them all the way off, go, then put them all the way back on.

Taking your pants all the way off to crap? LUDICROUS!
