assuming you are female (boys do not bother to wipe) you should wipe front to back basically pushing the toilet tissue into the toilet. if you wipe back to front you could be contaminating your vaginal area with bacteria that may have colonized around your rectal area. when i instruct little children i tell them to "push the paper into the potty"; never pull it "out of the potty". since most urinary tract infections in women are caused from bacteria that normally live in the rectum/colon proper bathroom hygiene is an important skill to learn and to practice. wipe from front to back after using the bathroon. the reasoning for this is to help prevent urinary tract infections. try not to reach from behind because this could transfer germs from the rectum to your hands and the opening of the urethra as you wipe. use the same direction when washing or showering. after a bowel movement also wipe the from the front of the rectum to the back. this answer is from diapering baby the healthy way but the same is true for adults. women particularly should wipe from front to back to avoid infection. hope this helps! the webmd answers staff it is front to back to avoid bladder infections.
