How Do YOU Wipe Yourself After Toileting? #Shorts

Do YOU wipe front-to-back or back-to-front?

For females, you should start wiping front-to-back if you don't already. You could reduce your risk for UTIs (urinary tract infections) especially if you get infections frequently. Wiping front-to-back prevents bacteria from the back end getting into your urethra at the front (and for females, the urethra is shorter than males making it easier for us to get UTIs).

Got questions or concerns about sex, periods, peeing and pooping? Ask a pelvic physiotherapist like me 😉. Don't be embarrassed to ask, we can help! SHARE this post and tag a friend who may find this video helpful!

Thank you, I was really embarrassed looking this up but after getting my first UTI I wanted to make sure I wasn’t doing anything wrong ever again

Thanks for the info. I actually carry a wet napkin with me whenever I go outside just in case I have to use a public bathroom. That's when you don't have to worry lol just wipe however you want

Is it more hygienic to wash or wipe?

Water is considered more hygienic since all feces and urine are washed off and leaves no bad smell in underwear whereas wiping does leave residual smell behind no matter how much one scrubs with toilet paper. Water washes away feces particle that may get stuck in hairs around our bums which is not the case for wiping.28 Feb 2019

First of all Commonsense should tell you that you should have a designated cup or bottle to put warm or semi hot water in to pour down your but as you are wiping. I’ve been doing that since 3 or 4 yrs old & I took it on my own to do that.

Serious question, the paper always gets stuck at the beginning, so that it cant be pushed back. Can anybody solve this😅

[Zira]

Kinda embarrassing I literally never knew that’s how you supposed to do it always done back to front

[anieesama]

Just use water first then wipe with toilet paper to dry ur wet ass. It’s super easy.
