I prefer to sit for now. I am just starting out with a home-made STP.

I use a cut off medicine spoon, it's pretty good IMO.

Sadly, I use the womens restroom when I'm not "dressed up." Otherwise I avoid the restroom like the plague if it's public. I can't go full time yet, so yeah.
I'll be there someday, I can go the distance
I will find my way, If I can be strong
I know every mile, Will be worth my while

When I go the distance, I'll be right where I belong

Hate public restrooms, avoid them like the plague. I've actually gone out in bushes to avoid using a crowded public restroom (many times) before. If it's a risk of pissing my pants, I'll use the women's restroom. (weak bladder... bleh)

I use an STP (except when the red death is visiting... and even then, I use one at home). I've still got a couple travelmates kicking around, I've also got a medicine spoon with piece of hose attached. Also gotten good enough I can piss in a bottle without needing any sort of 'tools'. (We do a lot of gardening... so most of the urine ends up in the yard, as fertilizer. lol.)

Lol im pretty clumsy myself, and that's what im afraid of. I haven't gotten a good enough technique for it to be quicker than sitting.

Stand. It's been hella cold here lately, and the toilet seat is freezing! I also feel kind of bizarre standing to take a pee in the women's room, so I will use the mens, unless it's a bathroom that's single only and I'm with my boyfriend, in which case I'll usually just use the womens and then sulk about it.

I've used medicine spoons, sanded off medicine spoons attached to hose, the Pstyle and the Travelmate, the 'hand' method, have a Shewee coming in the mail, will eventually pick up a Whiz also. Once I've used/determined the pros and cons of each, I'll probably make a video or something talking about them and visually comparing them.

I feel you on the clumsiness thing. When I'm trying to adjust a prosthetic, undo my pants, get the thing in place, hold this with one hand, hold that with the other, fiddle, gah! I only have two hands! So for the first couple of weeks, yeah, definitely not time effective and also, pee'd myself a couple times. But since that first week I've been almost exclusively standing with no leaks whatsoever. Now if only I could do it through my pros without having the thing smashed BETWEEN my thighs! (Not right... Just... So anatomically not right to have balls in your crack and willy bent at a downward 90 degree angle!)

I use the men's room and sit to pee.  I don't really feel the need to buy/make an STP, plus it seems inconvenient to carry it around.  At first, I'd feel really weird sitting down to pee in the men's room, but guys really don't think anything of it.  I've never even had a weird look
;D

:icon_weee: that just about made me laugh hard enough to pee myself!!!

Anyways, I STP whenever I a) have my device and a waterbottle with me and b) don't have to go so bad I'm at risk of peeing myself (periodically weak bladder). Doesn't matter whether I'm in the ladies' or the gents', but it's better when the gents' is a one-person WC. My STP is kind of a hassle to use, as it has to be at least rinsed well after each use before storing cos it can't pack.
But since I'm on a small college campus, I could run into too many bio-males I know in the gents', and then there would be a major weird-factor in there ;D so I try to use only the dorm loos.

Sit, womens since I'm pretransition.  The only STP device I use is a folded empty toilet roll and that's for at home on occasion.

I use a medicine spoon to stand at home, but I don't use it in public because I haven't completely gotten the hang of it yet. I always use the men's when I'm in public - i.e. at college, though. I want to get a packing stp, but I haven't really decided what one yet. ???

I can tell you guys (as a used to be guy) sitting to pee isn't gonna be seen as weird by other men in the bathroom. Guys are NOT going to be wondering why you chose a stall, they will assume you didn't just have to pee. They sure aren't going to be "checking" what you're doing either so don't even consider being paranoid about it. If you want to stand, have at it. But it's not required to not be clocked.

Im still paranoid to this day, and ive been consistently using only the mens room for a while now. :/ But I use the stalls only, even if im alone I sit. The only time ive used my stp standing up in public was when I would be intoxicated lol. It gave me confidence, plus I had to pee and there were no toilets around :O

Wow...this is an extremely old thread.  o.O

I prefer to stand because it reduces dysphoria and feels natural. I just have a medicine spoon right now. Sitting can be convenient though at times, so I do that too because it's faster and no chance of pissing on yourself. lol.

Mens room, or sometimes if it's closer or I feel like it I will use the disabled bathroom. I mostly sit, unless I feel the need to stand and usually that's only at home. When I STP I use a go girl and modified packer. Problem is in the past when I've worn it out etc things move and are no longer lined up etc so if I used it in public I would need to go to a stall anyway to be able to position it right..

I'm just waiting for bottom surgery. I've never had any probs sitting - if there is no stall when I first walk in I have stood at private (singular) urinals for a few moments til others left and the stall was free, then just went in there or just walked out.. As we all know guys aren't really into conversations in the john so are unlikely to say anything and like I said I'm yet to have any prob... It helps looking like a bouncer :D

If I'm in public I usually stand unless I don't have my STP or if I have to piss really bad, then I'll sit.
At home it's 50/50 . . however I'm feeling lol.
