tips to avoid urinal splashback

This one's for the guys out there:

I'm tired of walking out of the men's room with, well, piss drops all over my pants/shorts. What the hell am I doing wrong?

Thus my appeal: how do you avoid urinal splashback? Has it happened to you, does it happen regularly, and if you've conquered it, what's your secret?

Attach a length of hose and stand at the other side of the room. Or grow a massive cock.

Surely that's a lot harder. Sinks are generally up a bit to high to piss in, possibly for that very reason.

True, but you can often rest your junk on the countertop and let it go. Since it doesn't spray as far, there's less splash and if it does, it hits the mirror instead. :)

If you're going to piss in the sink, turn both taps on about halfway, then piss into the middle. That way you minimise splashback.

I don't really mind about that, because that dries quickly leaving no mark or dodgy smell. I guess slightly less than halfway, though be sensible about it if you know the taps flow really fast.

Oh, and don't try this in public toilets. Unless there's a really long queue.

Pee along the inside edge of the urinal. If the stream hits the side at a very slight angle the stream looses a lot of its force and any splash goes toward the back of the urinal and wraps around instead of bouncing back at you.

Also, they have urinals in Europe and in some US airports that use this principle to minimize splash-back no matter where you aim.

This only the second place I've ever heard/seen someone use the word 'micturate'. First time was when I saw The Big Lebowski.

By the way, it shouldn't be 'micturate unto', it should be 'micturate into', and it should also read 'God said unto them'. And probably 'bathe their hands' as well.

Someone's already said it... but don't use the urinals. I hate public bathrooms to begin with, but urinals don't help the situation any. :p
Besides, I find it far more comfortable to sit during the process... so long as some monkey pretending to be raised by humans hasn't pissed all over the seat. I hate people who haven't realized they can lift the seat up.

It is certainly funny to joke about peeing in the sink, but in reality-that is possibly one of the most uncivilized things you could do.

Dont stand so close to the urinal and piss down into the bottom-dont get in real close and blast at a 90 degree angle to the back of the urinal-of course its gonna splash back on you.

Make sure you're shoelaces are tied up and not touching the floor before you walk in there too.

And for crying out loud-wash you hands when you're done.

While entertaining, none of the advice was rather practical.
I agree: Don't hug the urinal.
There's also dark places for late night excursions when public WC aren't open. Its a good idea not to hug those either.

I've only ever tried it in ceramic basins, and I've never had any problems with splashback. It's possible in a stainless steel sink that there may be a problem with splashback. I'd say that any basin or sink that's at least half decently designed would prevent any significant splashback.

Just head to the toilet and sit down. Honestly, I don't know why men are obsessed with the notion that it's unmanly to sit down to piss. It's cleaner--well, unless you're in a public room that's been used by filthy dickheads who can't clean up after themselves--and, I think it's just relaxing to sit down for a minute and do my business. Stretch out your legs, scratch whatever needs scratching... It's a fine break from the world. That's what toilet stalls are for.

Using the toilets that aren't urinals (not sure what they're called outside of England) is an obvious answer. You don't have to sit down on it though. Remember to put the toilet seat up first though!

Sumamba Buwhan
01-05-2006, 23:54
it's just a matter of angles. work with the best places to hit the urinal to avoid splashback.

if you are unable to do that, just sit down, it makes it a lot easier unless you have a giant cock - which sucks cuz then you have dippage which is much worse.

what I hate is when you let loose and you have two streams heading in different directions!

Or, instead of pissing in a urinal, you could just go into the "cubicle", or th regular bathroom stall, lift the seat up, then piss there. Not only is it better for splash resistance, its more private, AND, there's toilet paper in case you have a drip.

Now there's a silly question. So here's a sillier answer. How about utilizing the homeless as a living spalshguard shield? You can even pay them if you like so as to make yourself believe that you are doing something positive for the economy as you are doing so. And if the concept bothers you, well, at long last you finally have a good reason to learn how to urinate without splashing the poor unfortunate you've selected as your designated splashguard.

Check, please.

*waves at Legendary Rock Stars*

I think with urinals it's alll about angle. & not standing too close.

The best way around public toilets is to pick a place outdoors and out of sight (if only temporarily) and piss away. :p

You people scare me. Rather a lot.

For goodness' sake, use the toilet if you have such problems with the urinal! And if you still can't hit the toilet bowl, sit. I've never had problems aiming, but given the prior state of some public toilets I've used it seems I'm largely alone there ...

And for goodness' sake, wash your hands! I know, after what some of the people in this thread have posted I'm rather afraid to as well, but the next time you shake hands with someone, think; has this guy cleansed his hands after urinating?

And of course you don't know. Creepy, isn't it?

I usually just take a piss at a certain distance to start off based on knowing how much I have to pee. Then I adjust the distance and angle accordingly. But most of the time I just let fly and aim all over the place. Just to see how much of the inside of the urinal I can get wet!

if it's one of those abbreviated urinals -- the ones which end at about knee level, with a collecting reservoir -- aim for the water or, if there is no water in the hole, aim for the deodorant cake... in my experience, the cake thing allows less urine-rebound than the ceramic walls of the urinal itself.

if it means that much just piss yourself->shower->change it doesn’t take a genius to know that pissing in your worst pants is better than your best pants smelling of urine

Alternately use a toilet I do but mainly because I’m bladder shy (yes it is real and no I'm happy with my penis)

omg I just had a great idea for a product

urinal bibs! like a cooks apron (made from the same material as those sanitary things you put on the toilet rim - I can't think of the name of those things for teh life of me) with a hole in the front that you can discard afterwards.

come on! noone thought that this was a good idea? it'lls ell dammit. I just need someone to invest some money...

shaking it more than 4 times is just playing with it.

you indirectly touch something like 9 penises a day.

while I was sitting in a stall the other day doing my thing, the guy in the third stall down from me got up, flushed the toilet, and left the bathroom without washing his hands.

"Nice," I thought. "I want to touch the CRAP you just left on the door handle."

Cripes. Great way to promote work-place hygiene.

I only piss standing when I have a raging hard-on.
For the most part I sit down, of course as in any public place, massive wiping of the seat is required. HOW THE FUCK DO PEOPLE GET DROPLETS OF LIQUID ON THE SEAT?!

Messy people in the world.

Attach a length of hose and stand at the other side of the room. Or grow a massive cock.

In my observation, the massive dick just leads to a more turbulent flow. That is to say my stream can come out at just about any angle. Of course, in a public bathroom, just stand in the middle of the room and let loose the dogs of war!

I worked as a janitor for a while. Believe it or not, I found more urine on the women's room seats than the men's! :confused:

Pee to the corners. Also, tried to aim for the hole, if the urinal cake isn't coverning it already. Yes, I pay attention to these studip things.:)

Either your urethral opening is monstrously large, or you've failed to grasp the concept of pissing at a downward angle towards the stall's drain. In any case, I'm afraid I can't assist.
