Sitter or Stander?

[unabear09]

When I lived in Spain in the 70s, most public toilets I came across were squatters. It took some getting used to.

The other thing that threw me were the little old ladies in the mens bathrooms. They would dispense sheets of toilet paper for you to use and you were expected to tip them on your way out. For a young, naive Midwestern boy it was an eye opener.

lol That reminds me of the first time I ate out for dinner @ McDonalds when I visited Holland. There were men's and women's restrooms, and both had attendants (that you tip on your way out...for keeping a clean RR). I spazzed out when the attendant pushed me into the women's and not the mens. I argued with her about it for a bit, but gave in (I really needed to pee) and went into the womens. Well, when I got back to the table, I told my aunt (who along with my uncle lived there at the time) what had happened. She laughed and apoligized for not telling me before hand that it was common place for the restrooms to be labeled by gender, but ignored.

My boyfriend, my son, and myself are all sitters. I've heard of people standing, and it always seems odd to me. Why stand? Just pushes your butt-cheeks back together and seems to make more of a mess to clean up?

My observation was way off, clearly.

I always used to use my grandmother's outhouse (well, a hole in the barn) in Portugal as a kid, so standing to wipe was pretty much you're only option. Guess it stuck with me.

I honestly had never heard of anyone standing before this thread , lol

 

[B_RedDude]

Is it true that ladies wipe front to back to keep those nasty bacteria from getting too close to the hootch?

Well. It's true that they SHOULD.. I can't say all women do though. :tongue:

Very curious to know why you have a theory ...
Hmmm.

When I first heard that people wiped while sitting, I, too, was completely floored.

I stand (as I assumed everyone did).

Not only can you sit or stand - you can also go between the legs or around the legs . . .

I'm an around the legs kinda guy.

You stand but you bend over. And for really tough jobs if you put one leg up on the tub or counter it really does the trick!

Yeah, I typically put my foot on the sink. (Imagine if anyone ever walked in on me....lol)

Use the off hand to pull apart your cheeks.

Exactly.

I stopped using toilet paper a few years ago when Cottonelle came out with their moist wipes and I've never looked back.

Moist wipes are the best (when necessary), but generally I'm extremely regular so I go at the same time every morning (+/- 10 minutes) so I just use tp to get nice and clean before hopping in the shower.


I feel like I shared too much information. So much for me ever posting my face on this site. LOL

I'm a sitter... I alternate between reaching back behind.. And then going through the front between my legs to ensure extra cleanliness...

This surely is a contender for the best post ever on LPSG? :biggrin1:

I can even embellish it further. You start with standard dry toilet paper and then switch to the moist towelettes and follow up with the shower head set on massage... and you are as clean as a whistle!

 

[willow78]

I don't use the moist towelettes, just the standard TP. But if it's a "tough one" (to put it delicately), I put a squirt of liquid soap on the paper first.

 

[HiddenLacey]

LMAO at this post. I think I'm switch sitter/ stander and definitely a squatter in public. I go the TP then moist wipes route.

This is the strangest thing I've talked about on this site so far and if I didn't grin and laugh at some of the posts I would never be able to share myself.

As a life long sitter....it was in college when I found out about standers.

We had a big number of international students in our dorm and we had issues with, uh, aim and footprints on the commode from the standers/squatters.

Then they realized what was happening and made changes to accommodate the foreign students, and everyone was happy.

 

[RawDog]

Sitter.

I spray it down thoroughly with my bidet, then wipe front to back (hey don't want to needlessy wipe that stuff on to my balls), then I spray it with my bidet again, the wipe back to front.

Wiping front to back does end up leaving my balls cleaner, but wiping back to front gets rid of the klingons around uranus.

 

[Remington]

Um....both?

 

[helgaleena]

I had to vote 'Other' because it depends on the need of the moment. Sitting is good enough most times, but if extreme cleaning is required, especially the washcloth, standing is necessary.

And females learn front to back to prevent urinary and other infections. Males can conceivably get away with wiping either direction.

Do NOT get me started on those who pee on the seat, of either sex, and then leave it like that!

 

[BiItalianBro]

Im curious as to WTF 'other' would be??

My first piss of the morning is almost always sitting down in order to prevent doing this to begin with. Piddling with a raging morningwood is hard enough, it's definitely worse if I'm half awake and I fart in midstream.

This is definitely the weirdest thread I've been involved with.

Darn it! I just dumped cereal all over my desk. PMSL...
