Question for the guys. Who else here sits down to pee?

As long as my legs work I'm standing. I have trouble enough just remembering to put the seat back down. She did complain about splatter and I told her to hire a maid. She did!

@Moppys_jalopy

If you always sit to pee, you don't have to remember to either lift the seat or put it back down.

To each his own though! Lol…obviously it won't happen, but imagine if the ladies decided to stand while peeing!

Well I do, it is not so hard. I have always been able to do it. I stand if it is easy to take my knickers off, or if I am wearing jeans or some other trousers I bend over and hover, I never sit.

All that is true but still not happening!

Moppy sez:

Wait til you get older.

The damn thing lays on top of my wrinkle bag and pisses out through the crack between the seat and the bowl getting my pants and the floor wet.

@Amethyst

Have you ever seen and/or used a woman's urinal in a bathroom? I've seen them in older plumbing catalogs, but nobody I've ever asked had. This is the kind of thing I have in mind, but am not sure that this particular one was ever marketed:

And here is a vintage design that certainly was sold:

No I have not @Sean, I have always just seen normal stalls with the normal toilet. I have used men's urinals 4 times and I thought they were easy to use. It was fun using them when I stood next to my husband, it was really quiet and nobody else was there lol.

I like the pics of the women's urinals on those pages though and I would use them, they look very easy to use. I would face the wall though to use that lady p, and I think I would straddle the urinal from the 1950s and face the wall too. Maybe that bit at the front is a bit too narrow to do it into confidently and maybe it would be too messy for it to be easy to use for a lot of ladies. I think backing over them would be harder but it would be fun to try.

@Amethyst

You make a good point about the Lady P. Apparently, the user is supposed to sit on it facing away from the wall, as illustrated in the wall plaque, but then what's the point? Why not just sit on an ordinary toilet? And, if you're in that position, what happens if you poo?

A related question is, of course, how does a woman use an Asian squat toilet without soiling their panties?

A lot of ladies do not like the contact with toilet seats because of the mess. The urinals are just for urine so you would still need stalls, I think even men need those lol.

Well I have used something a bit like it and I just took my knickers off because it was the easiest. I am sure it would be ok to keep them around the knees and squat low too.

When I'm at home I usually sit down as I don't have to worry about missing; especially when I get up at night. When out of the house, I always stand.

When out I squat over the bowl like I girl why because I'm kept locked in my chastity cage

An addendum to my prior post, here is a pic of more female urinals:

Thanks @Sean - I never knew female urinals existed before!

@gwhap

Most people don't and that probably includes ⅔ of women.

I only know about them because, when I was a kid, my parents wanted to do some bathroom renovations and the plumber left a loose leaf catalog of plumbing fixtures for them to choose new fixtures. It was probably from American Standard. I was fascinated by the toilets, urinals, and bidets. My parents were very “old school” and chose the simplest toilet and sink, much to my disappointment. Actually I doubt I ever expressed a preference to them.

Since it seems I'm the perv who brought up females standing to pee, I shall chime in again. As for Amethyst, cheers if you can stand and deliver into an ordinary toilet without leaving a mess. Apparently you can!

As a separate issue, America apparently did NOT catch on to stand-up lady urinals. It seems U.S. women have spoken on that subject. I'll leave the finer points of their apparent rejection to those properly equipped to do so. As a penis owner I am not qualified!

I have been standing and delivering since I was very little so I have had a lot of practice but I know other ladies who can do it. Ladies can do it but I think they have just been told they should not so they think they just can't, and they are not confident about it.

@Edevotee

You are probably correct about America not catching on to the woman's urinal. Until fairly recently, the same can be said of the bidet, a common fixture in many, if not most, European bathrooms for a century or more. They have been available in the US for well over a century, but i believe very few were installed before the 1970s at least. Even now, I doubt 1 in 1000 bathrooms has one. They were largely unknown until the bidet toilet seats began to be aggressively marketed in the internet age.

As to women peeing while standing, I suspect there are several parts to the issue:

Using a toilet offers far more privacy than a row of stand-up urinals, even when they are separated by opaque partitions. I imagine that standing, with your panties at your feet, hence hobbled, exposed from behind is not a very secure feeling. I'd feel a lot safer in my own little room with a locked stall door separating me from the world, especially these dayswhen anyone can enter any bathroom.

Also, I suspect there is little actual time saving for a woman useing a urinal rather than a toilet. So the number of urinals could not be fewer than the number of toilets required to service a given number of people. Hence there are no facility cost savings. Real estate developers don't want to waste money.

Finally, my guess is that most women are not expert at peeing standing up. I don't believe most women have much control over the direction of their pee and the stream can be diverted if they don't spread their lips or by pubic hair, resulting in parts of the stream missing the target, resulting in a mess. To work best, I'd expect the woman has to fully straddle the urinal fixture, in the same way as a guy should stand close (and many guys don't).

About the only real benefit I see to a woman's urinal is that she doesn't have to sit on a seat possibly sat on very recently by a complete stranger and still warm from the previous occupant.

Finally, a little informal poll for women reading this:

Do you refer to pee sitting on a toilet with an open front (commercial) or closed front (household) seat ?

Can I suggest you do this as a separate discussion thread, or even an actual poll - otherwise this discussion goes too far off-track. Thanks.

Sure, do it all the time, especially at 2 AM, 4:30 AM and 6:15 AM. 😉 As long as you make sure you are pointing into the bowl, you won't make a mess. Only issue is guys like me with BPH might take longer to pee if you are sitting, standing helps both with gravity and with less pressure on the bladder/prostate.

Well Amethyst, this is not for you, but maybe some vulva owners you know. Check out that Amazing retailer and look for “the tinkle belle”. Gotta love that one, lol! Also the “ go girl ”. As well as other offerings for the femmes needing to stand up for any number of reasons while doing that indelicate thing. Then again, indelicate things are what makes Zity what it is. IMHO, a work of heart.

Meanwhile, I'll always sit if the seat is clean. But that's just me. As we say, it's a free country. Sit, stand, whatever. No handstands though.

Sure do sit. It feels so much better to urinate sitting, plus a lot cleaner.

Most of the time I sit . . . it really is much less messy.

I am in chastity so I have to sit down to pee…no choice….

@Amethyst It amazes me how women who are wearing a dress or skirt can pee under any circumstances without wetting their clothes…I salute them!

As for those continental ‘hole in the ground’ type toilets they baffle me completely, how women can use them without messing their clothes or stepping down the hole and breaking their ankle is beyond me. Oh yes and the ones in France where you pay the woman a few cents to sit there and watch you pee!

@Dr_Philip I’ve never heard of this. Can you elaborate?

@Dr_Philip I’ve never heard of this. Can you elaborate?

@Hookajoe In France the woman attendant often sits on a chair at the entrance and between the mens and womens sections. She takes your money and at some facilities gives out a few sheets of toilet tissue. The urinals are normally just inside the men's section, so she has a clear sideways view of the men standing there peeing if she chooses to watch!

Here in England, in my local town, the big public toilet block is now staffed entirely by women. So you can be standing there having a pee while a woman is mopping the floor behind you… You get used to it…

As a Crossdresse; David stands to piss while Davida sits to pee. Of course if I’m caged .. sitting is mandatory!

Occasionally.

I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night with a need to pee but I got semi-erection from sleeping partly on my belly. In that case I sit down when peeing. Otherwise I would pee all over the bathroom.
