Question: How do you use a urinal?
filed in Real Life on Oct.06, 2009
Here is a question for the dudes and maybe even the dudettes (you never know)
When you relieve you selves at a urinal… how do you aim to minimize the sprinkles?
Why this question is being asked:
I have been using urinals since I was in kindergarten and nobody ever told me of a magic way to use these urinals without getting any sprinkles on your pants, shirt, or shoes.
Now I’m taking a big risk right here. I just admitted that I can’t control my stream enough to not get any sprinkles back on me. so I want to assume that you have the very same problem and you are not saying anything about to keep yourself feeling cool…like you are in control of the sprinkles and they don’t ever hit you….ever! Don’t lie!
Just tell me the secret way that you use to minimize the sprinkles.

I have tried shooting up, down, left, and right and nothing seems to work consistently!

The best way I have found is to aim for the curve of the urinal. If you can hit right where the natural curve of the porcelain is (right along where the “wall” meets the “back” you should have minimal sprinkles. You want your fluid to meet the wall with minimal collision, then glide around the curve and finally down into the drain. Basically, as long as your stream is not hitting something perpendicular to it, you should reduce the amount of sprinkles. Happy aiming!

Like Bloggy, nothing seems to work consistently for me. The only thing I always do is, if there is a pink/blue/green/whatever urinal cake, I aim for one spot on it that has already been weakened and I focus all of my attention on breaking that cake down! Come to think of it, that actually reduces splashage too.

Like Lopezzi I aim for the curve of the urinal. Also, I find that standing back helps. Of course, you risk showing off your junk to the men around you. But, as long as you have nothing to hide…there’s no problem.
