I was taking my daily mid-morning poop today and while I was wiping, I thought, I wonder how most people wipe.
I tend to wipe while standing up cause it’s more comfortable and allows for more cheek-spreaditivity.
So, I beg the question: How does most of Lemmy wipe? Do you wipe while standing up or do you wipe while sitting down? Why?

This question pops up every now and then on social media and it always blows my mind that there are people who wipe standing up. I just don’t understand the logistics of it and it seems like it would make things more difficult.

I wipe in a position that is more like squatting, because standing up clenches the cheeks making it harder to clean, but sitting leaves the possibility of potentially dipping your hand in the toilet bowl.
It is the superior way, embrace the squat wipe.
I just feel that the International Ass Wiping Authority guidance 27881 should be followed. By standing the cheeks close slightly, which what the hell, why would I want to wipe that. I do understand the white paper, “Stank Bowl finding 87712-b” outlined the wack idea of wiping over the nuclear blast you just left introduces some risk, but it’s not significant enough to stand up and introduce additional ass closing issues.
We don’t stand that way. It’s “standing” in the sense the butt comes up off the toilet. But the overall posture is still “sitting”.
Ok so the Council of Auditable Shats (1998 conference) did mention this is a good hybrid deployment model.
Makes me think about the video with the huuuuge bulky black man thought everyone pooped in their hands and caress it gently into the water.
For the life of me I cannot tell if that was a bit or not
It provides excellent access to the ass
Funny how I’m the other way around.
Children learn to stand up to wipe because thats the only way they can reach. Some people never learn otherwise.

I installed a bidet during the big Covid lockdown. Now, I just do a little butt bounce and drip dry a moment. Then while sitting, just need 4 squares to pat dry.
Bidet is the way.
My brother got a bidet and it doesn’t fit his toilet. The seat is lifted up on one side and I felt like I was gonna break something when I sat down. There was also a poop stain on the nozzle so no thank you…

Geez that’s a bit extreme. I think he installed it correctly on the bowl, but the seat just wasn’t designed for it. I was only trying to share the only story I have with a bidet. Sorry if it came across as me shitting on them…
Who needs a poop bidet when you can just clean with a poop knife?
Pass
obligatory Cyanide & Happiness comic:
Bidet standing up. Making it brown rain.
shudders
Some stay dry and others feel the pain. Chocolate rain!

This is what everyone means when they say they wipe ‘standing up’ and afaik more than half the world probably does this.
I would consider squatting a form of sitting not standing but if that’s what people mean then it at least makes more sense to me.
Squatting is distinct from sitting though because sitting necessitates your ass touching something.
i sit and wipe like anyone over the age of 8
I imagine it’s difficult for fat people.
I wipe captain Morgan style. Standing up, with one foot up on the toilet seat. That way I can scrape up in there.
Same.
Wait, you guys are wiping? /s
Did you really need the /s

People wipe standing up?
My favorite place to shit is at home because that means I don’t have shoes on and can slip one leg out of my pants allowing me to spread my legs more. Wiping while sitting allows you to incorporate using the seat to help keep your cheeks spread. The first wipe is a light touch so as not smash and smear but still catch any dingleberries. Second wipe is placing folded square over the hole and using a finger to work into any skin folds or creases. Continue as needed…
Additional tip. Slip one arm out of your shirt so it doesn’t accidentally rub against the seat hinges or back of the lid.
Also when involving shits of the more liquid variety, don’t forget to wipe your cheeks. Liquid will run down to the lowest point before dripping, and this can often be far away from the hole.
Prefer sitting down. Got me trusty rag on a stick.
Sitting down.
Standing up because then I can actually look at the toilet.
I go for a shit standing up
Reading this from the toilet. Will update in a few
update?
We’re waiting!
