Men and boys use urinals in communal bathrooms.The use of a urinal can be difficult.Many people have encountered situations at the urinal in which they end up in the water.It is possible that a fine mist of urine, or even larger drops, may have landed on you.Proper urinal usage can prevent urine splash back.
Step 1: If you can, choose a urinal with privacy guards.
Privacy guards are between urinals in some public restrooms.Privacy and shielding from other people's splash back are both served by the guards.You will be less likely to fall victim to someone else's splash back if you find a restroom with privacy guards.
Step 2: If you want a urinal in the middle, pick it on the end.
Pick a urinal next to the stalls or the sink if you can't find a restroom with privacy guards.You will be less likely to fall victim to the splash back generated by the guy next to you.
Step 3: You can choose a urinal remote from other men or boys.
Studies show that the closer you are to someone else, the harder it will be to pee.The panic and anxiety that you both experience could lead to a splash back.When the restroom is crowded and there is no alternative urinal available, it is okay to stand and pee directly next to another person.You don't have to wait in line or use a stall in these circumstances.
Step 4: Before you approach the urinal, look at the floor.
The floor in front of the urinal is often wet from other people's urine.As you approach the urinal, be aware that you don't want to step in someone else's puddle and accidentally splash urine onto yourself.
Step 5: Before you pee, think.
Sometimes we have to go, and we rush up to the urinal and pee in a hurry.Don't do this.You have to think before you pee so that you can take precautions that will limit your splash back.
Step 6: Don't hit the urinal cake.
The urinal cakes are small and placed on the bottom of the urinal to fight odor.They aren't meant to be targets.If you hit them, they will create splash back and spray urine in your direction.
Step 7: Hit the wall of the urinal slowly.
The angle of your stream can be changed.Don't hit it.The closer the temperature is to 90 degrees, the worse the splash back will be.Try to hit the urinal at a soft angle.
Step 8: Aim for splash-reducing inserts.
The impact of your urine stream can be absorbed by some urinal inserts and splash guards.Shoot for these if you can pee on one that bends upward so that it is vertical and can hit it at less than 45 degrees.
Step 9: Stand at the right angle.
Splash back is increased when your urine hits a surface at a sharp angle and from a long distance.Your urine starts to break into droplets after a few inches.The droplets create a bigger splash than a solid stream of urine.If you are too far away, your stream will break up and you will have a higher chance of creating splash back.The farther you stand from the urinal, the more urine you pick up.You will be in good shape if you impact that porcelain before the stream breaks.
Step 10: Don't stand too high.
You definitely don't want to be standing too far away.If you pee after six inches from your urethra, you will lose coherence and power.There is no "magic" number when it comes to how far to stand from a urinal, because each urinal is different and everyone's comfort level is not the same.
Step 11: Don't shake too briskly.
Don't shake too fast when you're done.This could cause your urine to fly through the air or it could hit the urinal and cause a splash back.
