i'm in the sam predicament i wipe back to front but have been trying to change my ways,i understand when you say you feel you don't get it all, well this is what i do i buy those femine wipes unscented though wipe front to back then go over again with a lil toilet paper to absorb the wetness down there and then i feel all fresh again but the down side when i run out of the wipes i go back to back to front just to get that feeling of getting it all . it's hard to break a habit from since you can remember right but i'm trying so hang in there hope this helps you out a bit.

I saw that show, too! Personally, I never figured out how to wipe front to back - whenever I try I invariably miss lots of areas. I sometimes wonder if by "back to front" they're referring to starting at the anus and wiping all the way up. That's just gross. If that's the case, then I wipe from middle to front.
I also get UTIs a lot, but always from intercourse. Now I take a pill after every time I have sex to prevent the UTIs - works great!

I used to wipe the wrong way, but I wipe correctly now. I keep baby wipes or those Cottonelle wipes in my bathroom so I feel clean. I also have a smaller container that I"ll put a few in when I'm going out. Either way you wipe, just dry toilet paper will never get you completely clean.

If it is #1, I wipe back to front. For #2, I always go around and wipe front to back....

If I'm just going for a pee, then I just wipe my "lips" from the front.
If I'm taking a dump, then I reach behind me and start wiping from the bit between my vagina and bum hole, and wipe upwards from there. Check the toliet paper, and use some more toilet paper until it comes away clean.
Wiping your a** from back to front drags poop into your other bits...

front to back. i think that you need to start using those wet toilet paper wipes. this should help with the unclean feeling. i think that the pain might be from irritation in that area of some kind. ask you OBGYN what to do if the wet wipe things don't work.

I have always wiped front to back, it just seemed normal and cleaner to wipe that way. If it hurts when you do it?? maybe you are doing it too hard, try doing it soft. Don't you think that is kinda nasty after going number two and wiping it into your vagina..eeeww. ..

Always Front to back!! If you do it the oppposite you are pushing all kinds of germs forward towards your vagina and urinary tract and that will cause an infection.
