Let's look first at the urine on the seat. Many women do not like to sit when using a public washroom and so will hover over the toilet. While this will keep you away from any urine on the seat left behind by the woman who hovered before you, it won't allow your pelvic floor muscles to relax as they need to and will also not allow the bladder to empty completely.
When the pelvic floor muscles are not able to relax, the urine has a tendency to spray hence the drops on the seat. When the bladder is not able to completely empty, over time it will start signalling you to empty before your bladder is full. This means more frequent trips to the toilet. It is important to sit down and allow your pelvic floor muscles to relax so the bladder can contract and empty.
Much love from Australia. Thanks, TMIG. I believe that this process is kind of personal and neither you or people in the comments of this post have right to tell me how to do it. I prefer standing up personally , but there is no problem with sitting down if you like it. Hi Felix. Thanks for the comment. I was telling other people.
Interesting stuff there. No joke. Less cleaning the bathroom for me! Even my boyfriend in high school peed sitting down. Thanks Kelly — for the kind comment, for the anecdote from your experience with your boyfriends, and… for cutting your TP usage! I have no problem saying that I sit to pee. I grew up in the country where I could walk out the back door and pee off the back porch without a chance of being seen except, perhaps, by a U2 Spy plane.
So yeah, I sit to pee just as my father told me to do. He was right. Also, I share the cleaning duties with my wife and I hate cleaning urine off the floor or anywhere else it might land. At home, we sit because we like a clean home that takes less time to clean.
My wife grew up with brothers and appreciates men who prefer to sit. So, I did the nasty job of cleaning up the piss one last time and have been sitting to pee ever since. Outdoors, standing. Sitting is the logical choice. Congrats, Bob. Better than my post probably, too.
Soy boys? Ever heard your Dad complain about prostate issues? It happens to the best of us. I totally agree with you. As I see above a lot of those folks really have problems with woman. I wish they will someday find the man they needed…. Then you track it all over your house and onto your bed and sofas, how pleasant is that! They do it for their prostrates, they do it for cleanliness, and they do it to be a better partner in their marriage or relationship.

If you never teach a boy or a girl how to pee, the girl will squat to pee, and the boy will pee standing up.

Between my husband and 2 boys, it is gross to say the least. I am very happy to have 2 bathrooms in the home. I am trying to convince all of them to sit at home even if it is more convenient to stand.
Who ever told men it wad girly to sit, has probably never had to clean a bathroom. I like it. Good luck with it, Tina. Making an all or nothing statement removes all credence from an argument. Or at least not say it and still have your argument taken seriously. You literally have a chair in your house that you defecate in. It goes airborne, and so do many particles of urine, sitting down or not. The arguing that sitting down all peeing is going to solve indianola issues of cleanliness in your bathroom, and therefore you must do it eternally is incredibly black and white thinking and short on facts.
That sounds like an all-or-nothing argument, too. You sound smart. Good point, Mr. There is indeed a risk of peeing through the crack. I usually sit down to pee, and use a strip of toilet paper to clean myself up, so drops of the golden stuff will not land in my underpants later.

The million dollar question: How do I stand to pee without getting urine all over my legs, the seat, the floor?
Enter pee devices. There are funnels available that will let women pee while standing without making a mess. The GoGirl funnel is reusable, while the Stand Up funnel is disposable and biodegradable. In hiking circles, these funnels are called female urination devices, or FUDs, and they can come in quite handy on the trail. There are many brands and variations available, and Backpacker. If you can't bring yourself to use a funnel, it is OK to sit on a public toilet.
It may not be your happiest moment, but it is highly unlikely you will catch any germs from sitting on a toilet seat. Stand up to pee or sit down to pee—your choice. But, please don't start peeing in front of strangers. We'll let men keep that curious behavior to themselves.
