The correct way for a woman to wipe is to wipe from front to back.

When wiping as a woman you should always wipe front to back and start at the urethral opening and then wipe towards your anus.

Wiping front to back as a woman prevents bacteria from your anus from being transferred to your urethra which can cause urinary tract infections.

You should do the same when changing a baby girls or toddler girls diaper.

When changing a baby girls or toddler girls diaper you should also wipe front to back and start at the urethral opening and then wipe towards the anus when cleaning them, especially when they have a poopy diaper.

If you wipe the poop from back to front you can cause the poop which contains bacteria to enter the vagina and could lead to urinary tract infections.

The same is true with poop in an adult woman or any girl that is wiping after pooping.

The poop can be transferred to your vagina which can cause bacteria to enter and lead to urinary tract infections.
