It's healthier. If you wipe back to front, you may spread germs from your anus to your vagina, causing infections.

The commonest cause of urinary tract infection in women is the transfer of bacteria from gut (anal area) to the genital tract (E.Coli). Such transfer more likely if you wipe from back to front. Wiping front to back minimises the risk.

Because wiping the other way round transfers bacteria to an area where you certainly DON'T want them.

Only important for women...
if you wipe back to front you are likely to wipe fecal matter into your vagina... not good!

The biggest cause for a urinarty tract infection is from the E. Coli bacteria....which is present in your rear.
And that's why.

If you wipe back to front, you can get an infection in front, because you don't want back waste depositing themselves in your front. lol
(in other words, you don't want to wipe poo on/in your vagina, you will get infection ewwwwwwww)

To minimise the risk of bacteria spreading to the vaginal area and causing problems.
