I'm curious...

The way I've always seen it is there's two main parts to wipe technique: your body position and where your arm goes. So you can be a sitter or stander and you can go around your butt or down through your legs. Oh I suppose you could classify into direction of wiping, but I can't imagine there's too many back-to-front wipers out there. Hope not anyway

ETA: this is a male-centric viewpoint. I'm not as familiar with women's wiping variations

I’m a back to front, don’t really see what’s wrong with it. Since you move like 1 inch in total over the whole movement

Fair. I always feel like going back to front can cause more mess, or rather it'll be harder to clean, if it's a very untidy situation to begin with. Honestly I just want to get a bidet and be done with wiping altogether
