Please help me settle an argument I have with my husband.
Do most people wipe their bottoms after doing 'poos' whilst sitting down or standing up?? Which would be the correct way to teach your children?

Sit. Especially for teaching kids.
The more you stand, the more the buttocks come together and the less poo you wipe off. With kids this will lead to brown streaks in their underwear.
I don't see a particular need to squat. With the toilets and toilet seats I am familiar with there is plenty of room to do it seated. I would agree with the folded paper rather than scrunched.

Wipe while standing and just for the record with folded paper not scrunched. It way any civilised person does it. By the way do more men wipe standing or sitting compared to women.

Halfway between sitting and standing. If you're sitting you're too close to the toilet and you take the chance of making a mess. If you're standing your cheeks are closed and it's harder to wipe. So, I squat when I wipe. It's the best way. If you and your husband agree, than every-body's happy. I know, it's to much information!

Well i sit and my husband stands. I taught both my children to sit to wipe. but my eldest child (a boy age 6) now stands to wipe. it was his choice / preference. my daughter (4) still prefers to sit. so as you see it doesn't really matter how you teach them in the end they will do what suits them. and i suppose as long as the job gets done and done right it shouldn't really matter

Somewhere between the two. Like a mid squat.

Standing. It is easy to get it all without touching the back of the toliet (which you don't want them to do in a public place)

I'm having a hard time believing that so many have given this so much thought!

Tell your kids just to go try it out and do it until all the stuff is gone.
