I'm asking you as I always wonder. Also I have seen girls trying to pee while standing up and it was kinda funny. Some can :) I just sit call me lazy. I don't use public restrooms, only when I really have to and I always go behind doors. But there I never sit of course. So, what about you?
Everyone: How do you pee? Sitting or standing? Which is more comfortable?

I am a female and I most definitely sit down to pee.
I voted other though, because when I was a little girl, I had a fascination with standing to pee and actually accomplished it after a few attempts by leaning and tilting my pelvis and sort of standing around the toilet awkwardly
I haven't tried since, and I don't really want to-- it's just not on my mind when I really have to pee!
And if you mean crouch above the toilet, so as to prevent sitting on the toilet seat, then I don't do that either. You cannot catch any diseases from a toilet seat.

Ive peed standing up, not into a toilet tho. That would be weird . but i can.
04/29/2011
This poll makes me want try to pee into the toilet standing up. If wasn't worried about making a mess I would probably test it out.
04/29/2011
I've peed standing up successfully. I did it in the shower before. DONT EW AT ME. YOU'VE ALL DONE IT AT LEAST ONCE IN YOUR LIFE! Lol
04/29/2011
I pee while squatting sometimes
04/29/2011
I sit now, but back in my younger pain free pre-child days I could stand It is to painful for me to try and stand or squat now, I carry baby wipes or sanitizing wipes to clean the seat before sitting if its dirty.
04/29/2011
I'm a guy and I stand while I pee the majority of the time...nothing new here.
04/29/2011
how many other ways can there be to peeing?

I'm a girl, I sit down to pee. Though being able to pee while standing would make things quicker I imagine.

I'm a girl and I usually sit down to pee. But if it's in public then I squat. I never sit in public.
04/29/2011
I've heard about girls standing to pee and was interested but never curious enough to try it myself. So I sit down to pee, but only in my own house. Everywhere else I squat.

About 4 years ago when camping, I was crouching to pee in the bush and I peed on my big baggy jogging pants, lol.
I was so emberrased when I had to explain to my friends why I was walking back into the tent wearing only underwear. Good times, lol.

Other than when I'm in the shower, I never try to pee standing up. I think I tried it once or twice when I was a kid, but wasn't very successful, lol.

I'm female, and I identify as a furry. I don't have a pee fetish or anything, but many furries (and possibly others) will agree with me that sometimes it just feels good to take a squat. *blush*
EDIT: By which I mean, full-on squat close to the ground or grass or floor (shower for me if I do it indoors), not just raise your bum off the toilet awkwardly.

I can pee standing up, I just can't aim. Very frustrating.
06/22/2011
I pee standing up, and I've a good aim, too! I'm surprised, how are we men supposed to hit the smaller targets in life with our dicks, if we can't aim properly with the much larger target of a toilet?

I like to sit when at home or a comfortable place... i'm lazy what can i say. But when I'm drunk i'll piss wherever and however.
07/04/2011
I always sit to pee, even in public restrooms. I use the paper liners if they are available, but I'm not paranoid if they aren't. Peeing standing or crouching is hard. (Thought I would avoid TMI, but then again this entire discussion is about pee )It starts out ok, but then the end trickle always seems to end up on my leg. I have peed standing into a ziplock when on a long car trip but nowhere near a bathroom. That was my mom's answer to little kids needing the bathroom frequently.
07/04/2011
If I spread my legs while straddling the toilet, I can pee while standing. It is iffy, though, and the pee might run down one leg.
07/04/2011
As a female I tend to pee sitting but do have the ability to pee standing if the occasion calls for it
07/04/2011
Sitting down.. but I am really curious to try those "pee standing up" devices during my outdoor adventures.

07/06/2011
I've seen some invention they made that's like a cup with a forward drain that women can use while camping so they don't have to squat over unchartered areas and pee There's some bugs at night yanno..
07/06/2011
The only time I stand to pee is when I'm in the shower. Otherwise, I sit.
07/23/2011
I sit and pee when I'm using the toilets at home. I stand and pee if I really needed to go in the shower. I pee squatting over the toilet, when using a public restroom is definitely necessary.

I definitely sit. As for my husband - he always stands to pee. He's not comfortable sitting to pee. He did once when he was sick, and it was a mess, lol.
11/10/2011
I went on an Outward Bound type trip for like a month & learned how to pee standing up if I had to. This was a pretty hardcore trip... no flashlights, really cold, possible rattlesnakes & cacti (though it was Winter, so a bit cold for snakes)... So, squatting wasn't desirable.
I have to have a tree or rock or wall or something to lean against to be at all safe from peeing on my feet, though.

I am a woman, and I taught myself at a young age to urinate standing up. The only time I do it now-a-days is when I am extremely drunk, AND I have amazing aim
11/11/2011
I can pee standing up and not even miss! Lol. Heck, I can pee in a coke bottle without missing while standing. Unfortunately, I've had tons of practice. Lol. Honestly, my aim standing up peeing is better than my partners! I hardly ever miss. I'm a female by the way.

Unless it's in the shower, I sit. Sometimes out of boredom I'll sit the other way, facing the tank.
I wouldn't mind learning how to pee standing up (or at least getting one of those STP devices) for occasions when I might be far from a restroom. I don't like the idea of having to completely pull down my pants and squat out in the woods or whatever - it makes me nervous. And while 95% of the time I don't mind sitting on a public toilet, occasionally I'll encounter a port-a-john gross enough to make me squat. It would be nice to stand in those cases.

theres this thing called the GoGirl and you can pee standing up if you use it ! You should look it up it would be convenient for most women if they want it.
03/09/2012
I hover and touch nothing lol
03/09/2012
My basic rule is stand when it's convenient, sit when it's not!
03/10/2012
Standing male. Prefer not to touch anything in a public restroom whenever possible. And aiming is actually pretty fun in case you had any doubts.

I'm a girl and had to learn how to pee standing while I was living with an alcoholic stepparent who couldn't aim while drinking (which was always) and constantly left pee on the toilet seat. It took a while to teach myself how to do it, but I can manage pretty well now and never make a mess. It comes in handy in public restrooms, let me tell you!
03/10/2012
pee standing!
03/10/2012
Ever been hiking? As a lady peeing while sitting in the woods would be messy and impossible. #_#
I guess guys could if they really don't mind leaves in their butt though.

I've practiced peeing standing up in the shower (as a cis female) but I can't really bring myself to do it in a urinal. It's still messy.
04/10/2012
Sometimes I sit to pee when I'm feeling lazy, or if I've had too much to drink. Only ever at home though.
04/10/2012
Firstly: I'm female.
I did master peeing standing up when I was younger, but I got a pstyle and it's a lot more convenient. And it doesn't involve groping of genitals or removing pants. I take it with me when going somewhere bathroom-less.
But 99% of the time I sit because the pstyle is not amazing enough to carry around with me wherever I go.

I cannot pee while standing up.
04/11/2012
I only attempt to stand if a bathroom is super nasty. I learned to stand and pee when I was little and we would travel by car on vacations and stop at disgusting rest stops. I can't seem to do it anymore, I just about fall over trying. I have found a great alternative though, you just take a cup in the bathroom with you, pee in that, dump it, and throw the cup away, and ta-da no contact with nasty dirty toilet! I can't believe I just told everyone that haha.
04/11/2012
It's more of a squat
10/08/2012
I can pee standing, but yeah, it's a bit more of a squat, depending on the situation. I usually lean against something.

I'm a girl and I mostly pee sitting down, but I can pee standing if I want to / need to. It's much easier in a skirt, though. The only problem I've ever had with peeing standing or squatting has been my damn pants getting in the way. I'm still pretty proud of having managed to drop my pants and pee behind a tree while very very drunk without hitting my pants once when I was in high school though.
Honestly, the ease guys have peeing is the one thing that gives me a mad case of penis envy.

I'm a man, at least the last time my wife and I looked. Away I will pee not only standing up but with feet spread apart. Don't like to step in urine which is always around the urinal or bowl. At home I prefer to pee sitting. Lets air out of the other end at the same time. Also better when shaking it to get every last drop out ! Doesn't get all over the place. LMAO !

Oops, almost forgot to answer myself! I sit and standing is hit or miss for me as it can easily get diverted down the leg. I find I have to make sure to push forcefully and be sure to have my labia fully separated so the stream doesn't go anywhere but straight down. It's too much work!

I'll keep to sitting thanks Never once stood up to pee. I've crouch before in really nasty restrooms, and even outside. Course outside took me a bit longer because I'd strip from waist down >.>;
06/02/2014
Irrelevant to myself but I've seen comics pasted on public toilet doors telling females not to squat on the toilet seats like this lest they fall in the toilet bowl itself.
I also frequently hear people complaining about females hovering over the seats and ending up getting pee over the seats, hence they also hover over it to avoid having to clean up after the others or sitting on it.
Standing is so much less complicated

If you really had to, do you use paper to cover? Or you always do that, or how? Crouch? I have no insight how this happens with the ladies. Men, do you care about the infections you could get if you sit at a public place to do your big thing? Do you sit at all? I wouldn't. Did you know there are countries where you can't sit because there is nothing to sit on? That's the other extreme, I found that really nerve racking!

I sit. On the toilet seat. There is no infection or disease you can really get from the top of a public toilet seat. I think it was on MythBusters, the top of the toilet seat was cleaner than the sink you use to wash your hands!
If I were in a country without toilets (or out camping), I would just squat.

Your hands pick up tons of bacteria all day long.
I definitely wouldn't sit on a toilet seat that was covered in poop or urine though. I mean,common sense.
But how do you think those things got there to begin with? People squatting!

I'm with you tigerkate, I just sit on down. If nothing in there looks tremendously clean but it's either go in there or behind the building where everybody can see me, I might try to squat, but I'll use the paper if it's available. I have a friend who refuses to sit on public toilet seats and it drives me crazy, cuz I've seen her pee on the seat trying to keep from getting dirty, and then doesn't clean her pee off the seat! I'm like, dude! You're one of the people you complain about!!!

I sit. The doorknob to the front of the building has more germs on it than a toilet seat will. If I'm not going to freak about the doorknob, why worry about the toilet?
Besides, it seems to me that on the rare occasion I try to squat (which wears out my legs like hell!) I always seem to spray on the seat. I find myself wondering if the ladies trying to stay clean by squatting are the ones making the biggest mess. It really annoys me when I have to wipe up someone else's leavings. At least urine is sterile.
