Please help me feel not so alone (gross)

Can anyone else no longer wipe their a$$ while sitting down?

I am horribly embarrassed...I guess I can blame my short arms?

WIKristen · October 2010

I can still do that, for now! But I think I have have shaved down there for the last time today.....way too much effort!

designermusings · October 2010

I've been noticing this in the past couple of days. As my belly button popping, I'm sure it will take a couple of weeks before it is completely impossible. I hope by then I have given birth...or there will be some issues.

I've had a hard time for a few weeks now. It is easier to stand and do it. Try that!

danssugahbugah · October 2010

You are SO NOT ALONE in this!!!! Very difficult!!!!!

Hyfagal · October 2010

It hurts my belly to twist sometimes. Not all the time, but I've def had to get creative at times. ; )

kpmd1 · October 2010

You're not alone

But, hey, it could be worse...remember when we were all complaining a few months ago about not being able to poop at all?

SnoopyLuv · October 2010

No, I meant it took my belly button a couple of weeks to pop. It is difficult to wipe now, but I am sure in a couple of weeks it will be nearly impossible unless I stand.

mrsschrager · October 2010

Yea I am starting to have the same issue.. so gross!

Sorry maybe I'm being daft but I still don't get why this is hard, or what it has to do with growing belly...? Why would you have to stand? I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything...?

I just realized you're 28 weeks. At 28 weeks I thought I was going to be able to continue sleeping through the night, my belly button was never going to pop, I was never going to get heartburn and I didnt know what it meant to have a heavy belly. Enjoy your bliss.

AppleMomma · October 2010

You aren't alone. It's highly embarrassing. Sad to say after having DS I needed DH to wipe for me because I couldn't reach from being so sore and huge. I cried...a lot. Luckily I was fine a few days later from losing a ton of water weight!

OK seriously I don't need the condescension, I need you to actually answer the question? Is it b.c you are wiping back to front and can't get around the belly or b/c it hurts to twist around or b/c your ass is too big or a reason I'm clearly not aware of? Trust me, I'm not naive enough to think these things are not going to happen to me I just don't understand what you're saying and I can't seem to get a straight answer here?

And P.S I already have insane heartburn, my belly button is halfway out and I'm getting a good sense of the heavy belly, not exactly blissful over here!

I don't mean for it to be confusing. Let's see if another poster can help you with a better visual.

I've been contemplating posting about this myself.

I just recently learned I am a TOTAL weirdo for wiping back to front (I do my butt area first, and then my vag separately with clean tp - I DO NOT do one complete wipe because I'm not a moron.) I have been trying to do the wiping from the back, but I can't do it.

Anyway, I think I'm going to need one of these.

LOL I love it! I think I need one, too. Oh, and I do the same thing. I guess that makes me a total weirdo too

Mrs.Reyna2008 · October 2010

It is def. getting harder, along with not being able to shave my legs very well and forget about the chocha getting shaved........ oh yeah and I can't take nail polish off my toes! :P

mchupie · October 2010

My friends looked at me in horror a couple of months ago when the subject of wiping came up. In that split second, I realized I'd been doing everything "wrong" my entire life. Now I seriously ask all of the women I know about it and yeah, only my mom wipes like I do.

People always respond with, "You know wiping back to front is BAD, right?" Duh. It's not like I poop and then wipe it into my vagina. I'm not an idiot.

I guess I never realized we are in the minority. I've tried it the other way, but it's so freaking hard. Why go through that much effort? It's so much easier to reach down there from the front and duhh, it isn't hard to make sure poop doesn't get in your vag.

I used to do this too until it was brought to my attention it could increase your chances of infection. I think during our puberty talk during grade school. Our school nurse was all about feminine hygeine.

Angel002 · October 2010

It hurts me to even try. Even if I happen to be successful, when I stand up I wipe again cause it doesn't 'feel right'. *sigh*

I use SO much toliet paper also. I honestly go through almost a roll a day at home (an I work all day).

Now you're just being bitchy. I'm confused b/c it never occurred to me that women wiped back to front, that's all. Your belly is in the way, I don't understand why you couldn't just say that? Whatever I get it now.

I'm all about the snark (duh) and yeah, I didn't get the reaction to your question, either.
The cool people wipe back to front, but take care of the butt area first and then move on to the vagina. Weirdos somehow contort themselves to wipe from behind.

Thank you! I'm down with snark too but super into straight answers to these oh so pertinent questions and there is nothing to be ashamed of you friggin back wipers! I'm a front to back wiper but I still make 'mittens'!

bridexcite · October 2010

I have been meaning to write the same post for days....

I want to tell DH so he really gets the gravity of the situation but clearly dont want him to know!

sparklesbrooks · October 2010

I have to do a lean to the side lol.

stbmittleman · October 2010

I've always done a lean to the side too, wiped my behind, got some clean paper and came around the front to hit the vag. I was so confused mchupie why you were asking this. I thought everyone wiped the way I do...lol. It looks like we can create a seperate post with just the ways we wipe and analyze it from there.

BabyS2008 · October 2010

Haha!! I was just telling DH this (funny that I won't fart in front of him, yet I'll tell him I can't wipe my ass lol)!! Too funny!!

Sunnyinseattle1 · October 2010

I can wipe my bum sitting down, now my front I have to stand to wipe it...TMI.

KeriMac · October 2010

FWIW, I am a more traditional "front to back" wiper and I am getting to the point where it is cumbersome for me to twist my body that way... don't feel bad!!

MJHershey · October 2010

I have had to do acrobatics to wipe for weeks.. don't feel bad. I also gave up on shaving down yonder around 30 weeks....
