Do men wipe when they pee?
Sorry if I’m asking a TMI question. I’m asking as a mom of a 7 year old boy. My husband never taught him to wipe with toilet paper when he pees because my husband doesn’t wipe himself. My husband shakes it off. I asked my husband why he doesn’t wipe and he thinks he doesn’t need to since pee is sanitary. I just googled it and it’s not. I think my husband should also wipe too. He can have poor hygiene sometimes.
I can’t tell if I’m overreacting about this or if my hygiene concerns are valid. My son has gotten a rash on the tip not too long ago which is what started this debate between my husband and he still has so much pee stains in his underwear.
Edit: Thanks everyone for the insight. Glad I also posted this to Askmen. A lot of different responses. I’m going to go with wiping should be happening and just because the public urinals don’t have toilet paper doesn’t justify that’s a great way to keep yourself clean. My husband agrees to wipe going forward since he found out urine is not sanitary. For those who don’t wipe, you all keep doing what you’re doing. Everyone is different and has different approaches to taking care of themselves. I’m just happy my husband will be wiping now and hopefully my son will be good about it too.
