Since starting college and having no choice but to pee in public occasionally...I've been looking in to getting an STP

Hours and hours of research and I'm still confused about the actual logistics of them, regardless of the type you buy

How do you use them standing at a urinal while other people can see?

Don't you have to reach into your boxers and fiddle around and hold everything in place? I just don't understand how you can get it into the right position without looking like you're groping yourself for a good 5 minutes. I know guys don't tend to look at each other but I can't imagine nobody noticing the weird guy groping himself at the urinal

I don't know how many people actually use them in a urinal to be honest. I think you would need considerable practice. Heck you need some practice to use anyway. The best ones for using discretely would be a something small like a medicine spoon or a coffee lid. I've heard the snee-kee is good for this too. I think guys must have a plan and so on. It's like sleight of hand for card tricks for instance. People are expecting certain things and never expect to look at somethign else, esp if the person is deft at it.

I only have legitimate experience using the Peecock (which is quite a bit different from the medicine spoon and nipple style STPs, or the sort that one keeps in their pocket), but from my understanding the key is primarily: practice, practice, practice before attempting the urinal.

I was one of the fortunate ones (it seems) in regard to the Peecock because I got the hang of it very quickly, and while I haven't attempted a urinal I have used the toilet at home and (mostly) used it outside on a backpacking trip on which I was stealth with nine other guys (the only person who knew was the professor/instructor). There was some adjusting, but really not enough to be suspicious, and most of it was just whipping it out with some positioning at the end so nothing that really looked like I was groping or anything that seemed weird. Once you get the hang of where the receptacle part needs to go, things seem to go pretty smoothly.

With a urinal, it's mostly aim, which you can practice pretty safely with your home toilet (or even the shower): imagine a target if it helps, or use the drain as a target -- that improves cis guys' aim as well.

What may help regarding the fiddling around and such is to not necessarily bother with using the flies: I just undo my pants, push my briefs down enough to pull it out, position, and go. Of course, as mentioned, I wear briefs (boxer briefs or just briefs), so if you use boxers they might be easier to use the fly on. I haven't attempted that, however.

It's kind of a practice makes perfect thing XP. I still haven't mastered it, so I will still occasionally use the stall. I'm not even close to the only one as I've seen :'P. Unfortunately I seem to be one out of maybe 3 people that know how to not piss on the damn seat or floor @_@. Seriously, I've only been doing this about a month, and I can aim! Why can't these guys do it!? D: Oops, got distracted :'P.

ahaha this is another reason I would like an STP, I have to sit down in the stall at the minute. Not only do I feel this makes it look like I'm doing something other than peeing - but I always have to wipe the seat first xD

I've had trouble with STP's as well...the whole gravity thing just works against you.  I've yet to use an STP that has been easy and didn't take a lot of practice.  I think anatomically it's just difficult to make an STP that works really well.
