Do you pee standing up?

[Cheska]

Only whilst in public and at work. I sit elsewhere.

Sit only.

This isn't something to debate.

Here in Houston we are debating the Equal Rights ordinance.   It's opponents characterize it as the ->-bleeped-<- bathroom bill.

This is serious. It is our dignity, equality, safety and lives on the line.

I will say this.  I was in a public women's restroom doing my business when someone walked in and peed standing up.

I was terrified.   Honestly I worked hard to not have an all out panic attack.  That sound does not belong.  Women don't want to hear it. 

One is stuck in a stall with who knows outside.   You are in a very vulnerable position.   

Just don't.   Ever.

I've hardly ever stood up to pee.

Aiming for sides of the bowl inside walls should leave others none the wiser. Direct fall is somethink to avoid anyway as it sparkles all over the place...

Doing it that way since being a kid to avoid the noise.

Well also feet should point out not in.  Seeing that is also bad

Actually, this reminds me - the last time I peed standing up was somewhere on the sixth day AFTER surgery. That damned catheter made it mandatory! We were all complaining about how ironic that was. And now I'm looking into getting one of those doohickeys that lets someone with a vulva pee standing, because my last couple of hikes up a mountain included some times when I really wished I could do that.

(I know, the question was really for people with penises, but I'm amused by both situations.)

Jenna Marie, there are times when peeing standing up is very nice and convenient, like hiking/camping.  I would think anyone with a vulva who did much outdoors, hiking/camping, would want to get one of the devices so they didn't have to lower there pants to pee.  I know the guys just step off the trail pee and are back so quickly.

Only in public restrooms. I sit down at home.

mm : Yep, it's very convenient, and the only time I miss it these days is when hiking. Plus, my wife got poison ivy squatting to pee once...!

Locking for clean up, review and to let things cool down

[Mariah]

  Topic remains locked for the time being to allow things to settle down.
Okay folks. Here is the deal. I know that bathrooms are a hot button topic and some of the concerns others have we all when in the bathroom. Despite all of that it isn't an excuse to take other posts personally, judge or attack other users for what they do. This topic isn't here to discuss the legalities of what bathroom and how how use it. The topic deviated in that direction and has been clean up as a result of that because it started to result in members attacking each other. Here so TOS to keep in mind. The topic will be reopened in a bit, but only after things have been given a proper cooling off time. Thanks

In the past five months I've only peed standing up a grand total of once. Only because the bathroom I was at was super super nasty. So it was the one time I was happy to still have the thing. Otherwise I don't know what I would have done.

It is nobody's business where stranger's feet point. What an invasion of privacy that would be. And I would expect it to actually pass in the US. That is, I sense trans women could be harassed in the US for standing in a restroom. It doesn't make that harassment right though.

Being reminded of those gaps, I can say I am glad to live in place where restroom spaces have actual doors that span from the floor to the ceiling. The gap is in range of millimeters. I haven't seen a high gap restroom space door since prim school in eastern Europe.

Sit down, always have done, unless it's super minging then maybe but I can't think of the last time I pee'd standing up.

[Rachel]

I sit at home.

At work I use the men's room and sit.

[rachel89]

Only if restroom conditions are pretty gross.

[Swayallday]

For as long as I remember I sit down

Thanks to my coffee habit and spiro, I've been having incontinence issues.  Whenever I pee, I've still got some left.  Over the next hour, about a tablespoon or two will dribble out.

The other day, I tried standing to pee and I got it all out in one go.  I alternated sitting and standing, and the pattern is clear: I can't empty my bladder sitting down.

Oh well.  I'm nonbinary.  I prefer voluntarily excluding myself from women's restrooms if it means not pissing my pants a few times a day.
