I wipe sitting. I think most people probably do. Standing up will push your arse cheeks together, so the poo inside the crack will just smear everywhere.
As for bidets, I don't use them. They're very rare in my country. I just wipe with toilet paper. I try to get my arse as clean as possible with the toilet paper, so I wipe multiple times.
Thank you for reading my post about my pooing habits.
Rare or not, get a bidet for home. It's like $25 US for a basic model, and you will never go back. I feel like an absolute savage when I can't use a bidet now. My best argument is this: Imagine if you fell into a pile of manure. Would you just get some dry paper towel and wipe yourself off and call it good?
If your answer is anything other than no, I don't have a rebuttal, but you do you.
In answer to the question, I still wipe the water away sitting down. Standing up doesn't make any sense as you essentially make a shit sandwich with your cheeks... and even though I'm clean down there now - I learned that way and don't plan on changing.
I used a $30 bidet for about 6 years. It's has always been amazing. We finally redid our bathroom so I went with a deluxe heated seat, heated water, blow dryer, etc. Gat damn is it wonderful, but it will spoil you. Makes pooping anywhere else dreadful. I'm trying to solve this by gifting my friends bidets for Christmas. So far it's working.
Lol if I fell in manure I wouldn't just take the hose and wash it off, then paper towel dry either. There would definitely be LOTS of saop involved. Just saying.
I'm in total agreement though. Got a nice bidet seat and it's hands down the best thing ever. I hate using bathrooms in the wild, at all, because they lack the heated seat my bidet has, in addition to the lack of the bidet part.
If you know someone who would get poop on their hand and wipe it with paper saying "good enough", they are uncivilized and not to be trusted. And they have a dirty butthole.
If you are considering getting a bidet, you might also be interested to know that there is a hand bidet variant. The positive is you don't have to move where you sit, you can control the position and angle as well as the pressure with your hand, and it's more compact.
Half stand wipe north to south. My old bidet doesn’t fit my new toilet anymore so I am S.O.L unfortunately, been using one of those travel bidet for more emergency situations
Sitting, but until I was an adult I stood. No idea why I stood for so long, probably how I was taught and just never changed. Sitting is more efficient.
