Hi,
I just wanted to know how many women here can pee standing up?
I find it a useful skill in public restrooms
and YES all women are able to do this without "aids"
am i in the minority for being able to do it?

yelizaveta

wow, does no one find the ability to pee standing up as delightful as i do? i'm shocked...

SiN

i fail at it.

spray.

k, i've never tried standing up, but if i even hover, i'm spraying.

if i'm in the woods or behind a bush squatting, i'm likely to hit my foot.

and, it is not a hairy/large obtrusive genetalia thing getting in my way
/shudder

i'm pretty small and smooth.

sooooo...

how would I fix the spraying problem?

curious

well, the trick to it is putting a finger on either side of the clit and pulling slightly up and out. you practice in the shower (aim for drain) first. keep a strong , steady stream throughout to avoid dripping and spraying. don't let it peter off, just stop forcefully. you will get the "spreading angle" after some experimentation.
the first time i tried, i mis-aimed and sprayed it all over the wall behind the toilet...

I know that I can, I just don't wanna.

SiN

yes, for me at least

i suppose there could be an efficiency advantage, provided one does not spray.

does one still have to wipe?
(erm .. please say yes!)

i dunno. i'm all for efficiency. but beyond that ... it's just novelty.

not that there's anything wrong with novelty...

in a general sense

Yes, you are right...it's just a novelty thing. And possibly an envy thing. I always wished I could pee standing up outside like a man, rather than squat and, like you mentioned, have to wiggle away from the pee at the same time so it doesn't get on my feet.

And, yes, unless one is outside, I would hope they would always wipe.

SiN

me and my runny nose usually has a tissue in pocket/purse ...

but, i suppose my penis envy is only to the extent of the ability to spear a hot female on it.

erm ... yeah

I'm simply fascinated by this idea and I can't believe I've never thought about it before. I'm going to learn if it is the last thing I do!

ngdawg

It's actually quite a lesson in making yourself go(no pun intended) against the teachings of our youth, to break the bonds of what we were told is 'normal' and 'correct' and loosen those ingrained inhibitions.

serlindsipity

you know, i need to try this. I see perks at bars and clubs for sanitary reasons.


ha, that would make me have to put the seat up. Thats a funny thought to forget to put it down and hear the drunken splash of the girl after me falling into the toilet.

Serlindsipity, you are too cute!

I can pee standing up after fooling around in the shower, but I do wish I could do it without having to remove my jeans - that's one thing men can do that I envy!

*Nikki*

Just hover over the seat and all your problems are solved.

SiN

how does this 'hover' work? do you have one leg on either side of the toilet, straddle fashion, or do you just sit as you would normally, feet more or less in front of you, sitting down but above the seat?

if the former, do you face forward (like sitting) or backwards (like standing)?

obviously i've never tried it

oh, and do you lift up the seat, just in case, or... not?

Well,

Obviously you let out a carefully controlled fart which keeps you suspended just above the toilet seat while you urinate. Problem solved!!

ngdawg

SiN: do it once or twice in the shower to see which way you naturally 'flow' and to get the hang of standing(it's not that easy breaking a lifelong 'habit').
Squatting's not the same thing-a lot of women do that in public restrooms and leave their godawful mess for the rest of us to deal with.

I just thought to post this poll for women who would be interested to check out this website.

Here's a poll about the very topic. Hopefully it will serve as a good as this site as a resource for women.

http://www.misterpoll.com/1008915871.html

There are heaps of women who can pee standing up including myself without aid.

For years I've always found that hover or squat uncomfortable and sometimes it sprays for some reason (stress) and I often ended up getting nasty cystitis from hover or squat because it doesn't empty the bladder completely. So I decided to learn to pee upright for bit over couple of months ago and I have not had any bladder infection at all. I find pee upright is easier, quicker and clean.

I have found several great links for women who would be interested to learn how to pee standing up.

I am the master at squatting...hands down. However I am also the master at protecting my butt with toilet paper strips on nasty surfaces...or just holding it.

SiN

omg, i totally can't do that.

granted, I hydrate like a mofo, and have a bladder smaller than a walnut ...

if i gotta go, i gotta go.

I do try to avoid the 'gotta pee so bad my eyes are turning yellow' thing.
besides, how can that be healthy?






.....


this seems to be sidetracking a bit into a 'sit on a public toilet seat (the typical kind, not the freeway reststop kind, necessarily..) ... or not'.

i dunno, strangely i'm quite more freaky and cautious about what my hands touch, than my backs-of-upper-thighs.
