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?

Use a bidet. The idea sounds weird- a toilet that sprays water up your ass. I wasn't sure it was for me. Then I tried it. Holy fuck game changer. FULLY clean EVERY time.
But yeah, sitting down. Finish the dump, run the bidet, then wipe to dry, all while sitting.

What does it count as if you lift one thigh and buttcheek off the seat?

Yes, do you?

The real question is if you use a wet wipe at the end? Total game changer.

Why? Mine say; flushable, made from plant sourced fiber.

I know someone who's home flooded with poop water because of them doing exactly that. The plumber pulled a LOT of them out of the blockage. Apparently it's a common mistake, although that doesn't make the repairs any cheaper.

Just in case, don't flush tampons or pads either.

It's most likely a lie. There's no industry standard, manufacturers can say what they want and their wipes end up blocking your plumbing or the sewer system, or decorating beaches.

To test whether flushable wipes are truly flushable, Ryerson University gathered 101 products, including 23 wipes that were labeled as flushable. They conducted a series of tests to determine whether any of these products would actually fall apart or disperse safely through the sewer system and found that not a single flushable wipe product passed the tests.

there's people for everything, imagine the most bonkers absurd but still vaguely feasible thing and at least 10 people out there consider it to be the norm and find not doing it equally absurd.

I'm still waiting for the handstand folks to chime in.
