I found this Web site: http://www.restrooms.org/standing.html
It tells you how to pee standing up. The only time I’ve ever done this is in the shower but they swear it an be done.
I’m sure it can be done, but I’m not gonna. Like you, only in the shower.
I’ll just sneak in here for a moment then leave quietly…
Does this mean that you ladies will be able to write your names in the snow? You have now taken away the last thing that men could do exclusively. I hope you’re happy with yourselves.
BTW… looks like a great idea.
Oh my…
My first question is who in the world founded restrooms.org? And why?
I think I’ll practice this just to startle the hubby when I master the technique.
I’m giggleing (sp?) like a loony just imagining the look on his face…
Now if only we could write our names in the snow!
I tried to pee standing up once when I was a child because I saw my brothers do it and wanted to try it. I was, let’s say, unsuccessful. I remember pee running down my leg and never tried it again. The way this site explains how to do it makes sense but I doubt that I try it. I’d rather squat above the toilet than pee standing up!
First blue m&m’s… and now THIS?
For the love of god has the world gone MENTAL???
You mean…
there’s other women who pee in the shower sometimes???
Oh oh!! The lady at http://www.restrooms.org/device-assist.html shows you a “device” that um… seals around your urethra and lets you direct your stream!! Perhaps writing my name is snow would NOT be an impossibility after all!..
[does anyone else think the device looks like a children’s liquid medicine dispenser?]
I actually mastered a standing up pee technique many years ago, when we were first stationed in Japan. To paraphrase the great Dave Barry, the standard Japanese public toilet is basically a hole in the ground that someone forgot to put a toilet on top of.
Not so bad normally, but when I became heavily pregnant, manouvering and squatting became basically impossible, so I just stood and let fly. With a little muscle control, it’s not really hard to avoid a mess.
I couldn’t resist being the first guy to post here.
Peeing standing up? C’mon, ladies, this doesn’t take any special skill. Aiming standing up, that’s a different story.
It can be done, or so I’ve heard. This is just crazy though. There used to be balance. Women had the joy of giving birth, and men had the ability to pee standing up. Now women get to have babies and pee standing up? What the hell is going on here?
My, my, we talked about this before but I haven’t found it in the archives. Sure it can be done, few, very few, woman want to do it.
Hey!!! Great idea!!! Now women won’t have anything to complain about if we leave the seat up!!!Yeah :):):)
Oddly, about 2 hours before your post here, I started a thread on this exact thing on the 3FMB! http://fff.fathom.org/ubb/Forum7/HTML/000209.html
I think it IS a medicine spoon, with a hole in the bottom. As for it saying “TravelMate Device” on it… I also found a site that sells medicine spoons that will put your logo on them.
Oh yes! My first thought when I saw it was, “Hey, I can make one of those!”
That’s exactly what it is. That’s how the site got started.
Do not ask me how I know this.
I emailed them asking “isn’t this just a medicine spoon with a hole drilled in the end?” Their email was a cryptic “There is more to it than that”
Uh huh. There sure is. The price
Medicine spoon: $1-2
Pee device: $4, or $11 with carry case.
Wasn’t there another thread on this very recently? Oh well, I’ll say it again:
Women can pee standing up. Easily and neatly. No device required.
Here is the technique:
Drop trou. Bend over a bit. Pee.
(You pee out the back, not the front.)
You do it all the time, gals. You just don’t think of it as “peeing standing up” because you are facing away from the toilet. When you go into a grotty rest room, and you pee without sitting on the revolting toilet seat, you are peeing standing up! With a little practice, you can learn to aim.
As for writing our names in the snow, I guess that’s still out. 
A good friend of mine says that she’s mastered the technique (she briefly posted here, actually). I’ll try to get her to come back and let y’all know how it works.
As for writing in the snow… with guys, we have a little hose in order to maneuver the urine stream… women would have to maneuver their whole bodies in order to do it. Meaning that even if a couple a’ gals managed to make some designs, their peemanship wouldn’t be as clean as men’s.
Sexist! Bigot! Chauvinist!
It’s tinklewomanship.
