There are many reasons why women want to pee without having to sit down. For this purpose, you can make or buy a special device online which, with a little practice, becomes quite easy to use.
Steps
Part 1 of 2: Learning to Urinate with the Device
Step 1. Prepare in advance
If you want to use this tool, start preparing a little earlier. Choose the model that best suits your needs and read the instructions carefully.
- You can also make a craft tool using a coffee jar lid, yogurt container, or other similar object. You just have to cut the edges so that you get a flat disc that you can roll into a funnel. Commercial standing pee devices are a bit expensive, so these solutions are good alternatives if you have to pay attention to your budget.
- You can buy these tools online; there are many different models in appearance. Some are designed to resemble a penis with testicles and are very popular among transgender people; others are simple plastic funnels that women can use on outdoor outings to make urination an easier task. Choose the device that best suits your personal needs.
- Read the instructions carefully when buying these accessories; the way you hold or insert them can alter their functionality.
Step 2. Train at home before using the device in public
There are several good reasons why you should practice using it at home: you certainly don't want the funnel to slip at an awkward moment and there will be leaks or spills. Spend a week or so to "practice" in your home bathroom before trying it out in public bathrooms.
Step 3. Hold it properly
The urinating devices must be held in different ways depending on the model. Always follow the specific instructions on the package; however, in principle, you need to fit the larger opening near the urethra with the thinner one pointing down. Avoid tilting the device sideways, otherwise you could get wet.
Step 4. Be patient
At first, you may not be able to pee like this; the device may give you discomfort or an unnatural feeling from standing. You can increase your water intake to encourage urination (if you feel stuck) or you can go step by step, lifting slightly from the toilet instead of urinating sitting. Be patient and allow yourself time to use the "funnel" comfortably.
Step 5. Shake the device when done
When you're done urinating, shake it lightly to drop the last few drops of pee into the toilet or onto the floor. You certainly don't want your clothes or the bag you're storing the device in stink.
Part 2 of 2: Basic Device Maintenance
Step 1. Bring toilet paper and plastic bags with you, as well as the device itself
It is advisable to have toilet paper and bags handy for when you intend to use it: the first you need to dry it a little after peeing and the second to store it. Leave it in the plastic bag until you need to use it again or if you are not at home and cannot wash it.
Step 2. Clean it after use
Contrary to popular belief, urine is not completely sterile; although it contains less bacteria than stool, it is still a waste liquid. You should also be aware of airborne germs that are present in bathrooms. Clean the device with mild soap and water or with denatured alcohol and rinse it thoroughly.
Step 3. Periodically replace some parts of the device
Some are equipped with a rubber hose that needs to be changed frequently; you can buy spare parts from the manufacturer of the device itself.
Advice
- If you are a transsexual, at the beginning of the transition it is worth learning the "etiquette" of the men's room; there are many websites dealing with this topic.
- The first time you use the standing urinating device you may feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable; if you have this problem, drink plenty of water before "practice sessions".
