I stand up, reach around and wipe and have done so as long as I remember.

I have tried to sit and wipe but have never been successful.

I agree with doniker, I have yet to be able to complete a successful sitted wipe.

I sit and reach between. Always have and always will. And I think I might have to put that into practice soon!

I do the reach around and slightly lift my right cheek. I am unable to do the same technique if I turn to the left.

I always wipe from anus to upper crack, never from upper crack to anus. I'm a girl and don't want any poop in my honey pot and this wiping technique prevents this.

I have a large brown freckle that rests just at the opening of my ass. If I catch a glimpse of my naked rear in the mirror, it always looks as if there is a wayward piece of shit that escaped the Charmin. I hate this freckle and have made it a point to mention its location to any doctor who may be examining that area. I'd hate for my doctor to think I was a dirty girl with crap on my ass.

I have digressed from the topic, but I'm curious if anyone has either freckles or birthmarks on their ass that mimic fecal flecks?

A single reach between from the front to dislodge any hangers, drop the paper into bowl then stand and traditional reach around wiping multiple times until last wipe produce no more brown.

I stand and reach around, wiping from the anus up, away from my bits. It's really not recommended to wipe back to front, especially for women. You don't want all those bacteria in your vagina or your bladder!

Gaseous, we must be distant cousins. That's pretty much my m.o., too.

I prefer to reach in between and wipe. Despite this - I still wipe from front to back making sure I don't get any brown on my cha-cha. Speaking of wiping, my husband reaches behind to take care of business, but he always ends up getting little bits of poopy toilet paper on the floor or on the back of the toilet...does anyone else have this problem? It's hell to clean his bathroom.

Being right-handed I just lift the right cheek a little and and wipe from behind. Too lazy to stand up. Wipe till the paper looks clean.

GottaGoGirl: I knew it!

It brings gladness to my heart that we are similar butt wipers!

These 3 comments actually made me sport wood. I seriously need to get laid.

That`s worrying doniker. I take it you`ld wait until the wiping was completed.

lean to the left, wipe front to back once, look at paper into the toilet it goes, twice with new paper, into the pot, flush and go. i'm too lazy to stand, and i think i've always been afraid that if i stodd the shit would smear all over my ass or something.

Very similar to some others,

firsty 4 sheets of roll, folded in 2 - lift up right butt cheek and lean over to the left.
with the first wipe its essential to determine what type of residue remains, so if no clingers are felt, you goto take alook - If clingers are felt, the paper is dropped to avoid any mishaps upon paper removal.

From sack to back is the wiping direction, and the above technique is used until paper is clean.

Stand and reach around. With the occasional cheek parting maneurver to get the nooks and crannies. Wiping while you're sitting involves your hand becoming too close to comfort to the seat, bowl, and toilet water. Reaching between your legs runs the risk of having your forearm rub against your cock (if you're a guy), and potentially becoming wet with residual urine dripping. And then you have to wash not only your hands, but your forearm as well.

I stand and deliver. Well, actually, first I sit and deliver, then I stand and wipe, facing the toilet. Not opposed to sitting and wiping, just find things more comfortable the way I do them.

I was a standing wiper for a long time. It wasn't til my girlfriend told me that if you stand you mush the poop making it more difficult to get clean. I realized that I was using alot of TP, so I weened myself off the standing ass cleaning and made my way towards a right handed reach around the cheek ass scrubber.

I hoist my blubbery right cheek off the seat and reach around back. Recently, I tore my rotator cuff in a motorcycle crash and experience extreme shoulder pain while wiping. I tried the left side and it is impossible.

Random Rectum will you marry me?

I used to be a "stand up and wipe" dude until I gained some weight and found this technique harder than the "sit on your ass" technique. But for some reason, I find sitting to be less manly than standing. I'm trying to lose weight right now, and hopefully can return to my fighting standing self very soon.

I stand - like BvPS, I can't stand the thought of my hand or forearm being anywhere near the toilet.

squeeze and pray.

but standing puts any potential hangers on directly over your pants! if they let go god forbid, or if you DROPPED the soiled tp it would end up on the pants and underpants pooled around your ankles. this is why i sit and wipe, and i just realized i forgot to mention that i wipe until the paper is clean, no swampass or dingleberries for me thanks.

Wow. I did not realize that there were standing wipers out there! Does the standing and wiping involve wide-legged squatting action?
I've always stayed on the seat, arm in the crack, paper in the pucker.
I've also perfected my technique by eliminating the "wiping" action. I give my spinct an extra pucker, and I wiggle the finger on there like I'm trying to wedge it in, then I retract the pucker the get some depth to cleansing. This is definitely more gentle on the winkie.

Motelshit: There's no reason your husband should be dropping shit encrusted bits of paper due to wiping technique. Even if there were, why doesn't he pick up!!! He's an unhygenic slob. You should keep him away from your cha-cha too.

I stand and wipe until the paper is clean or let's face it- clean enough. If I am at home sometimes I have to do the shit and shower routine.

i made the switch from back to front to front to back. you get a better wipe that way, twice with tp and then i hit-up the wet wipes for that oh..so fresh feeling.

For some reason my cheeks are squished tightly together, I literally have over an inch of contact between the cheeks when i stand up. As a result I am forced to wipe while sitting down in order to not get it all up and down my crack.

I'm a fat ass, and I'm always squeezed together in any position.

I prefer to get in the tub with my but facing the faucet, and direct the water through the crack and provide an abrasive, both with my right hand, while the left holds the rift open.

I tend to lift the old right cheek, leaning against the cubicle wall if there isn't much room and have a good wipe using more toilet paper than necessary just to make sure my finger doesn't go through

Northy, being from Britain I`ve had that finger through the cheap-shit paper they put in public toilets many times. Not pleasant at all.

Roll to the left a tad, lift the right cheek, and wipe, from front to back (hating getting mud on my sack)

On diahreha days, I limit myself to 4 wipes since my anus is on fire and any excess wipeage is murder.
If the fourth wipe is still fairly dripping, I grab a wad of paper to cram between my cheeks as a sort of manly sanitary napkin. By the time my next bowel movement rolls around, this ass-wad will have absorbed the majority of my poop.

Just use the TP to make a Manpon. Problem solved.

Sitting...lean forward...pull cheeks apart with left hand...first wipe is back to front...then front to back...then repeart step 1 and 2 and then last wipe with wet one's

Sitting, for optimal cheek spreadage, lift right cheek, reach around, wipe up (what most seem to call "front-to-back"). Follow with a down-wipe (back-to-front), repeat alternate directions to prevent wiping residoo (shit residue) too far in either direction. Continue until paper comes clean. For particularly stubborn clean-ups, dampen paper in sink, and follow with a dry-wipe.
And my wife says I can't wipe my own ass. HA!!!

Keep up the crappy work!

I prefer to reach around and pull the poo backwards. I guess it's what my mom taught me. She wipes that way too.
Poop on!

Thunderbox - I couldn't agree more. That cheap stuff that they put in the toilets that looks more like tracing paper than bogroll is not good

i lean forward and wipe my lovely ass from front to back, and follow with a wet wipe to clean up the germs because they are gross.

Standing wiper, and I reach around, usually on the right side. I have never been able to get clean sitting. Stuff gets everywhere!

I always reach around and wipe from front to back, normally sitting. Then I fold the tp and wipe some more. Then if there is still more, I have to get a new wad of tp and get to work again. I can't believe I am saying all of this. Anyway, has anyone ever had one of those poops where you wonder if anything splashed out of the toilet onto your clothes? I frequently look at the back of my shirt in fear that poop might be on it, although this has never happened. If you have never checked your clothes to see if poop was on them, you better watch out because it could happen any day now.

As a woman who has spent most of my life on the weightgain and loss rollercoaster ride.I have fluctuated up and down 70 pounds over 15 years and I have discovered that reaching around and wiping front to back is the most sanitary way to go.(nobody wants funcky, fecal, poo-poo in their whoo-whoo) A follow-up with a moist wipe for added cleansing and always end with a warm, soapy handwash.
Although....I have to admit during my fat ass stages in life, it is much easier for a fat ass to reach between and give a few swipes from back to front, rather than trying to reach around all that extra gurth. So, I have wiped for comfort but, I must say a lifting a cheek, reaching around and wiping front to back is the sensible way to go.

From birth, I've suffered from SWMS (Skinny White Man's Syndrome). I have very little in the way of cheekage. So I stand, reach around, wipe front to back, check the TP, and if needed, I'll wipe again. I prefer four squares of Kleenex brand Cottonelle TP rolled around my fingers and folded over, securing the shit-mitt with my thumb.

I have a book published. The title...it's "Brown Spots on the Walls".

The thought never occured to me that one might actually stand and wipe....Anyway, I always sit a little forward on the toilet seat thus allowing enough space to sit and wipe with a reach around technique. Of course, I wipe from front to back, refold the tp and keep on going. Although, sometimes the task is a little overwhelming, and I'm wondering why wet wipes aren't the standard when it comes to taking care of our number two business? One more question....If you stand to wipe, are you still bent over at the waist or standing completely verticle?? It seems to me, standing would just make clean up harder.

I stand nearly straight (I have bad posture) and put one foot up on the toilet, then reach in to wipe. It's a lot better that way than plain standing, and I can't reach sitting unless I go in from the front.

"Double the flush, double the fun" --The Amazing Anus

I am always naked when I poop so I stand up and squat and wipe from back to front.

Just having an argument with my older sister. I personally find it amazing that people stand and wipe. I thought it was perfectly normal to sit and wipe and that everyone did it this way. My sister on the other hand is baffled to hear that I sit and wipe and thought that EVERYONE stood and wiped. It is now our main objective to ask all our family and friends what they do to find out which is the superior wiping method. Until this Debate neither of us knew that other methods even existed.

I'm with Double Flush, I also stand up as strait as possible, and then reach around. I'm right handed, so obviously, I go around the right side, and then swipe from front to back. Don't want any debris on my HARDware. Love it man, love this site. HOO-HA!

So you only poop at home, or do you get naked to poop at work or at the mall or in a restaurant or at a friend's house?

Someone once asked me how I went about doing something else. I had never thought about it before. The harder I tried to remember, the less I could recall. Now I can't do it anymore at all. Hell, I don't even remember what it was. Nice job, people. Now I can't remember how to wipe my ass. I'm leaving before I forget how to shit.

I stand and wipe until the toilet paper is clean. If I am at home, I take the paper off the roll holder and "roll" the paper (approx. four times)around my hand. I find this works well for optimum wiping. Oh, and Scott Tissue rules!

I do both. If I use an elongated toilet, I wipe back to front, reaching between my legs. If the toilet is small, I reach around and wipe front to back.

Jammin' lo'flo's since 1977.

I’ve always widened my legs, held the boys off to the side with my left, and with the right pushed it all on back and off my ass. Occasionally I’ll reach all the way back (generally having leaned forward and lifting the ass just off the seat) where I know it’s clean and pull forward to make sure nothing extra is hiding out smeared way back there. For the last couple years I’ve been using the “spit shine” method. I tell my buddies about the spit shine as a huge contributor to my “post dump euphoria” and they laugh, but it’s just like a baby wipe – fresh and clean! (If you’re at home, or in a small restaurant, you can use the variant which is to lean over and get the paper wet from the faucet.)

These, then, are the three levels of wipe. Depending on the greasiness, you rise to the wipe level needed.

There is a fourth level of wipe. When you have diarrhea and after the fourth dump in a row your ass gets so sore that you have to use the “pat method”. The art of pat absorption is something beyond the scope of this lesson, and takes time and care to perfect.

Okay, there's not even a debate here...you HAVE to wipe front to back or you will get poo in your pussy (well, if you're a woman, that is). It's just more hygienic. I'm guessing you'd have issues with that if you are very obese and can't reach back there.

An apple a day keeps the ExLax away!

I generally balance (head down) on one hand while placing legs behind my head. This enables me to wipe with one hand (reaching over my back) while reading Sanskrit texts.
This would also explain the fact that I am often a shitty mess.

OK you guys have some skills and I think the females of course have to be even MORE careful. Butt let me ask yet another related question. I am also not only a Shameless shitter and turd terrorist (when provoked of course) I am the world's messiest shitter I mean I wipe and wipe and wipe and wipe and wipe. Now recently I gave up on that and now I have wet wipes on the toilet tank which help and if I am taking my morning shower I have that "special washcloth" for my rear end. Does anyone have a similar arrangement?

I almost snotted into my tea on reading this. I'm still laughing now :-) I'm a reach around type of person.

I have a special mixed CD that I use to help me through my elimination process. Right as I am ready to REACH AROUND and wipe, I skip to track 16 which is "Stonehenge" by Spinal Tap, and I perform the Reach-Around-Butt-Grab, pinch my left cheek, and wipe horizontally.

I stand up, and wipe front to back. Then fold the toilet paper over itself, and wipe back to front to prevent shit stains in my ass crack.

I stay seated, lift my right cheek and wipe front to back with the right hand (although I'm left handed). I tear a long sheet, fold in two, then use the end, which I fold over, then wipe on that, fold over, and again, etc! Guess I don't like keeping on tearing more sheets - and am a creature of habit!!

Well, medically speaking, it is strongly recommended that one wipe from bottom up, reaching around.
it supposedly provides a cleaner and secure wipe... I learned this in school health class, so I wont question it too much.

personally, I wipe sitting down...
never been able to do otherwise.

but I suppose what works best and feels the most comfortable is really the best way to cleanse oneself...

To clog or not to clog...
too late - already clogged.

I find it easier to sit and wipe,by lifting one cheek. I've never been one to stand and wipe...to me it is weird!

I rock forward and shift weight to the right. Holding the TP in the LEFT hand I reach around and wipe from front to back. A forward tilt helps the package swing away from the anus and gives room for a more vigorous cleaning. Even with the luxury of soap and water I NEVER wipe with the food hand.
