I actually wipe front first and then back with regular toilet paper and then wipe again with cottonelle wet wipes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wipe-front-to-back-or-back-to-front#post-118925 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 08:19:37 +0000 littlebug 118925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: @BabyBoecksMom: @Beyond2: Double-wiper! Definitely with a distinct line between the 2 zones. And always with new tp for each zone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wipe-front-to-back-or-back-to-front#post-118917 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 08:11:53 +0000 Adira 118917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: @Beyond2: I'm a double-wiper too! First the front and then the back, haha. Glad I'm not the only one. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wipe-front-to-back-or-back-to-front#post-118892 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 07:34:25 +0000 volksgirl64 118892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually did back to front for the majority of my youth until I figured out it was wrong. It just made more sense to reach back and pull forward. After a series of UTIs I figured it out and changed it but it took some doing to re-train myself. Now I push back.</p> <p>ETA: My 3yo went potty in the toilet the other day for the first time and when we went to wipe she wanted to do it herself so I handed her the TP. She automatically went to wipe back to front. I thought that was interesting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wipe-front-to-back-or-back-to-front#post-118883 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 07:10:03 +0000 sorrycharlie 118883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beyond2: now that I'm thinking about it, I think I do this.

I wipe like you do.</p> <p>Also, i was warned all over the place--by OB/GYNs when I first went, but my OB clinic and baby class at the hospital, etc, to ONLY wipe front to back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wipe-front-to-back-or-back-to-front#post-118535 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 17:30:21 +0000 banana 118535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@miss-spunkin: Yes! That's how my friend wiped! Back to front in one swoop. </p> <p>@navy-mommy: OMG I never really sat here and thought about my wiping process. But now that I think about it, I think I actually wipe/dab the front, then I either use the same TP or new TP to do the back. LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wipe-front-to-back-or-back-to-front#post-118525 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 17:22:46 +0000 Navy_Mommy 118525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wipe front to back BUT I reach around from the back (so I'm pulling backwards rather than pushing backwards) and one of my friends IRL thought that was nuts...</p> <p>Do you guys push from the front to the back or reach around and pull??? (lol - I don't know how else to word that) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wipe-front-to-back-or-back-to-front#post-118524 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 17:22:30 +0000 Mrs. Pen 118524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beyond2: yup, same here!
