What are urinals purpose?
Urinals are, generally speaking, a good idea for a public restroom. You pass urine many more times a day than you open your bowels. Using urinals not only reduces the amount of water wasted by flushing, it also saves on space, and are cheaper to buy/build around than toilets.
What are the urinal rules?
With that said fellas, here are some key urinal etiquette rules to know, at least in North America:
- Always leave a gap. If there are three urinals and only one – the end one – is being used, use the one at the other end.
- Keep your pants up.
- Meandering eyes.
- Talking at the urinal.
- Clean it up.
- Use the toilet.
How do you use a public urinal?
Aim your pee stream closer to the sides of the urinal at a downward slant, and you decrease the “impact angle.” (Check out this mesmerizing video to see it in action.) It’s like keeping the foam out of your beer: Pour it down the side of the glass instead of straight in.
Who uses urinal?
male patients
Urinals are most frequently used for male patients, since they are easier to use with male anatomy. While female urinals exist, they are more difficult to use, and the common practice for females is to use a bedpan. Female urinals require a wider opening and must be placed between the legs.
How does a guy pee?

How should a man pee?
Go with the Flow
- Keep yourself active. Lack of physical activity can make you retain urine.
- Do Kegel exercises. Stand at or sit on the toilet and contract the muscle that allows you to stop and start the flow of pee.
- Meditate. Nervousness and tension cause some men to urinate more often.
- Try double voiding.
How do you pee without splashing?
Pee splashback is caused by two main factors: height from the toilet/urinal bowl, and the “angle of attack.” By far the best way to reduce splashback is to alter the angle of your pee stream so that it hits the wall of the toilet/urinal at a gradual angle; the closer to 90 degrees, the worse the splashback will be.
Can a woman pee in a bottle?
Use a pee funnel to direct the urine into the bottle. This can be especially useful for women. If you’re worried about potential spills or missing the opening of the bottle, place a pee funnel against your body to direct the stream into the bottle. Just be sure to clean the funnel when you’re finished!
