Do you wipe with your dominant hand?

When you go to the bathroom, do you wipe with your dominant hand or your non dominant hand?

This question stems from the fact that in most western cultures the right-hand shake/eat isn't really an issue because of toilet paper. I often find myself using my dominant hand to wipe, but I'm curious what others do. Thoughts?

I prefer to use the paper.

Dominant hand! My left hand isn't even capable of uh, doing that. I have less control over it than my right hand.

Response by poster: I do intend this as a serious question. It was asked within this thread, though never answered. If you would prefer it to be less chatfilter, I'm not so much interested in your thoughts as I am your answers.

As for any ambidextrous cases, do you favor one hand over the other?

My dominant (right) hand.

(at last! a question I feel fully qualified to answer!)

Dominant (right) hand. A more interesting question would be to ask who is a "front-wiper" and why on earth, oh why?

Chatfilter. I don't care. Dominant hand.
