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.
If you lean fully forward, palms against the floor, then reach back?
Then that's not standing up anymore.
Reach back with what??
That’s practically what I do… sitting down
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.
Only in those strangely deep american toilets
Wouldn't deep make it harder to dip your hand in?
deep water, as in strange high water line, not deeper bowl
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.
You need a slight forward tilt for separation.
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
Funny how I'm the other way around.
Works fine and I’ve anyways done it that way…
I’ve tried sitting but feels wrong…
It provides excellent access to the ass
Children learn to stand up to wipe because thats the only way they can reach. Some people never learn otherwise.
