sitting

[Rachel]

so am i the only one who has made a concious effort to sit to pee, or is everyone else thinking on the same lines?

idk, it just feels better anyway, its not as uncomfortable

[katia]

no you aren't the only one and sorry to burst your bubbles!

[Rachel]

-bubbles are bursted now-
lol, cool, so im not totally out of this world

Yeah I abandoned the stand to pee about the time I started to come out to people (which was september or so)...it was totally a conscious thing then but after a while I got pretty darn used to it and now when my mind grazes back over to the idea of standing...OMG just the idea feels awkward!

[Rachel]

im starting to get that way myself

[Kate]

I never did, until I started transitioning, read on here that others were doing it, and figured, "well, I might as well get used to it..."

It also solves an annoying aiming problem of mine (ewwww! I know)...

It's just routine habit now, even when waking up at 3am (oh I DO so love spiro).

I always sit, not a conshus desion, just do. OMG is it possable to pee standing, i had no idea.

[Sarah Louise]

Not that I would ever consider standing, but just think how it would look if someone saw you facing the wrong direction in the women's restroom.

Have been sitting for some time now. I can't find enough of it to do it standing. I have to sit. The little worm is in hidding.

Sitting to pee is a very good idea especially if you're in a women's bathroom. Not only don't you want to be seen with your feet pointing the wrong way but if you forget to put the seat back down you'll have some explaining to do.

Hmmm.... I've been told if it walks like a duck,
quacks like a duck it must be a duck so.....

If a frog wants to be a duck
all it has to do is walk like a duck,
quack like a duck and.....sit to pee.

LOL

January 27th, 2006 was
the last day I stood to pee.

I must say though,it has not been
all that covienient at times.
Like when the urge hits me, all of a sudden,
I must now find a restroom.
Whereas before I could jump out of the truck,
run around to the shoulder of the road
and take care of business.

I am not at all into squatting and
exposing my backside for public view.

I am quite embarrassed to say I do now know
how embarrassing it is to not be able to make it
to the next rest stop.

If I remain in trucking
I am going to invest in a port-a-pot
for the truck.

Always Love,
Heather Rose.

Well, the last time I stood to pee was a week after I went fulltime on this camping trip and the restroom stunk bad and there were poo smears on the seat (unisex restroom, so it must have been done by a man), so I made an exception to stand so I could get out of there ASAP.  The girl I was with decided to try and hold it.  I hope she didn't have a UTI.  Before that I think it was sometime in early 2006, but I can't remember for sure.

Do I have anyother choice? 

Even when I did, I'd always sit!

One of the things that got me thinking i was meant to be a girl, was that ever sense i could remember (except on a few occasions) i always sat to pee. i hated to stand up. It didn't feel natural to me.

[Rachel]

the only times i stand really is out of sheer need

[GQPAT]

Here's an add-on question...how many of you use toilet paper instead of the 'ole shake-it-up method?  I mean its kinda crucial to passing in a women's washroom I think but do you do it when in the privacy of a one stall bathroom (such as home for instance)?

Cheers: Patty

[Rachel]

cant say i have ever done that....hmmmmm
