When I sit to use the porcelain throne (I’m female, btw), my pants generally get pulled down to maybe mid to lower thigh (meaning the waistband is sitting just above my knees or so). At work, I’ve noticed a few ladies who seem to pull their pants down to their ankles to do their business. (I notice this while sitting in the stall next to them; the partition is sort of high. I can’t believe I now know the color of some of my cow-orkers underwear.)
Not wanting to ask my cow-orkers about the positioning of their pants while they do their business, I’m asking here. How far down do you pull your pants when you have to go?
Maybe I should clarify. I don’t just pull them to my thigh as that would cause me to piss all over my pants. I actually pull them down to just above the knee.
raises hand for the pantomime question Yes, as I was writing out the question I had to pantomime. Heh.
I’m feeling a bit more normal now about the pants thing. I was starting to wonder if I was doing it “wrong” somehow or if I just have odd cow-orkers.
Of course, giant signs are in the stalls telling us to clean up after ourselves and there’s a limerick asking people to use the air freshener.* So I probably shouldn’t wonder that much.
*The bathroom can smell really bad
So nasty it could make you sad
To make it go away
Please use the spray
And folks after you won’t get mad.
(I’m the one who felt compelled to write it and post it in the stalls anonymously. :rolleyes: )
Ya, see??? This is why God meant for women to wear skirts!!! :rolleyes:
Actually, I wear skirts most of the time–even in winter. Skirts go up, not down, although you do have to make sure that the back panel is high enough not to fall into the bowl as you sit down.
I’m not opposed to pants at all. I just feel more comfortable in skirts.
Knee level, definitely. Although occasionally when I’m wearing pants made out of a silkier material, they slide down to the ankles before I can catch them. gross
Ok, I have pushed my pants a lot closer to the floor at a certain time of the month…I wear tampons and it just makes it easier to do my business with the pants a little further away. Not really dure why it is, except maybe I can open my knees wider? But other than that, just above the knee.
When I wear pants, they go to knee level. Any higher and there’s the yucky bowl. Any lower and there’s the yucky floor. Knee level is definitely where it’s at.
Kiminy, you explained quite well why I prefer skirts. I totally agree with you. It probably also explains why I prefer those crinkle cotton skirts that you’re supposed to dry all crinkled up. Because I wear long skirts and to gather them up when I go pee will make them all rumpled if they’re nice dressy ones I just spent 10 minutes ironing. But if they’re already totally crinkled, no worries!
I have a related question that i’ve been meaning to ask (i’m a guy).
What do females do when the have long flowing dresses (e.g. prom dress or elegant evening gowns). It seems you can’t go down since it’s one-piece and that you don’t want to bunch it up by hiking the dress up. So what do you do?
At home or work (where the floor is always pretty clean), to my ankles. Also in nice restaurants, or anyplace where the bathroom floor seems clean. In most public bathrooms, though, it’s to the knees.
The skirts that I wear tend to be ankle-length with stretch waistbands, so I usually just slip them off and hang them on the back of the door until I’m done. Keeps 'em dry, clean, and unwrinkled.
Easy: we hold it!
Actually, I’ve never worn a one-piece formal gown like you describe. My best formal outfit is a two-piecer, and I do like I said above: I just take the skirt completely off. Only if I absolutely have to go, though, because the whole skirt/pantyhose thing is a complete pain in the ass. Basically I try not to drink a lot when I’m all dressed up.
