I bet OP saw the same conversation I did on here earlier. I'm a sitting person, but the first time I learned about standers it blew my mind.

the auto flush thread?
Yep
This has been a topic across every forum I've been on, from Reddit, to Digg, to Fark, to Stile Project, to even old usenet posts. People just love talking about how they wipe...
Jesus fuck. Who tf wipes standing up.
Guilty 🙋♂️
🙋♂️
Fucking barbarians that don't mind having shit smeared all over their ass cheeks apparently. I mean, seriously, who the fuck thinks standing up to wipe is the proper "technique?"
🙋
Animals. The lot of them.
🙋♂️
Neither. Wiping is a waste of potential ammunition that I could use against my enemies.
(I sit.)
Why are you people just wiping and going about your day? If you got shit on any other part of your body would you wipe it off with some tissue and just say, 'yep, that's good enough'? Get a bidet and wash your asshole you fucking disgusting animals.
Maybe because our butts are never relevant except when in the bathroom. If there was shit on my hands, I'd wash my hands because I use my hands for tasks. Same with most other body parts. What am I going to need my butt for in the workplace, it's in my panties 24/7.
'merica
bidet spray gun / sitting
I'm standing, that's the way I always wiped, maybe I was taught to do it this way, but now I'm a big man and I think it would be messy now to write while sitting like my hands wouldn't fit, we need to research this further, maybe it's geographical thing, specific to a country, their toilet sizes and it's history or something
Sit and lift up the right hip
In a public stall I'll sit. At home I crouch on the toilet bowl like a bird, makes pooping very easy, and you get the least amount of poop contacting your cheeks
Like this?
Some people who grew up with squat toilets, like to squat on other toilets too. Thats why in some countries you see a lot of signs like this in public stalls:
What's the best way to go to the toilet – squatting or sitting?
huh TIL
Hybrids do exist:
I saw signs like that in Japan at Chinese establishments. Also ones showing that you face away from the toilet while sitting on it.
Blew my mind.
I've seen the signs in a tech office in San Francisco
Somebody stuck this sticker in a porta john at the job.
Yes, but rotated a few degrees to the right. I just feel like, if you had to shit in nature, you'd obviously do this, I'm not above the ergonomics of that.
I'm also lightweight, and I wouldn't do it in public because shoes on a seat is fuckin gross, also people would notice that in stalls, also you'd have to remove your pants entirely to not be fuckin gross, and I wouldn't put excess weight on other people's toilets
I think that this is a question for men. Catch a woman with period poops and I will bet money she never stands.
I wasn't raised by bears! I sit to wipe.
I just use the bowl of water to splash everything clean.
I sit down.
It depends on if I'm wearing pants or a skirt that day.
