When using toilet paper, you can sit or stand. Your choice depends on your preferences and mobility. The right position is the one you feel the most comfortable in and that gives you the best access.
Make a ball of toilet paper or put a few sheets on top of each other and reach for the anus either from the back or between the legs if you feel more comfortable this way.
Keep wiping with new pieces of toilet paper until it’s clean.
Don’t rub too hard. It’s important to minimize the irritation as much as possible. You can use lightly wetted toilet paper and use patting movements. If you do it too hard, you might cause discomfort, itching, or damage the tender skin near the anus.
Wipe front to back. This recommendation is important because there are a lot of bacteria in the rectal area, and going back to front can cause a urinary tract infection.
