Per the linked story below does anyone have a pic of what these mysterious beasts look like? And no, you don’t want to do a Google “Images Search” for “She Pee”. You’ll get lots of females urinating, but no female urinals. [Female fans get festival toilets](http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/3809927.stm) ---

Oh come on astro. 😛 [First google hit](http://www.restrooms.org/urinals.html) for “female urinal”, with [picture](http://www.restrooms.org/ladyp6.jpg).

Here’s an utterly fascinating link for you: [A Woman’s Guide on How to Pee Standing](http://www.restrooms.org/standing.html) Don’t miss the “problems and solutions” page. I’m amazed. ---

Futuro makes a female urinal, but it’s for females who can’t get out of bed and get to the toilet. Anyhow…I will declare that all the yoga and Pilates I’ve done has made it possible for me to pee standing up–and in a fairly straight line, if I might say so–if necessary. I’d rather not if I have the choice, though. 😃 ---

That website is fascinating. I never knew! > [@](#): > > Gabrielle writes more… regarding drips: I don’t really have any problems with drips, as I said, I can often get away without even having to wipe when I go standing up. I always seem to need a wipe when I go sitting down, however. Perhaps the lack of drips is due to 1)the fact that I give a hard push to get the last of the flow out as I stop, or 2) the fact that women simply have less length of plumbing between the bladder and urethra to contain urine, making it easier to drain completely. Regarding aim: It wasn’t great when I started peeing while standing on a regular basis (probably 10 years ago), but it has improved over time. I am now precise enough that I can go through the fly in a pair of jeans. Aiming and stream control are accomplished mostly with the hips. When learning, a good technique is to place your hands against your lower abdomen, on the pubic hair triangle. By pressing with either hand your stream can be angled. By pulling up or pressing with both hands you can point the stream upward. Try this in the shower where it doesn’t matter if you are sloppy the first few times. Eventually you may become good enough to be able to write your name in the snow. (yes I’ve done this!) Hope this insight helps. ---

> [@](#): > > I am now precise enough that I can go through the fly in a pair of jeans. Dear Lord! Now, _that_ is what we call talent, Ladies and Gentleman. If I ever met this woman I would definitely have to ask for a demonstration- having nothing to do with urolagnia, just a fascination for the physics behind the whole venture! :eek: ---

I’ll be impressed when you can write your name in the snow. ---

I may be the only male on the boards who has actually seen one of those with his own eyes. Some of the womens dorms at Western Illinois University have those (or at least, they did when I was a student there 1988-1991). When a man was in a woman’s dorm room (visiting, making out, whatever) and had to use the bathroom, a woman would have to escort him to the bathroom, go in to make sure no one was there, and then stand guard so no one came in while the guy was in there. So, yeah, there were two of those on the 10th floor of the women’s side of Wetzel Hall in Macomb, Illinois, if you’re interested in seeing one.
