Bunnykins: nice of you that you could pee in urinal like men.
almost all men would not ever look at others when they are in bathroom doing their business. basically you would follow same urinal etiquette.

I’m a woman and I pee standing up. I’ve also been known to go in men’s toilets on a number of occasions to use their urinals and can use any type with ease! I stand and face the urinal just like men do and aim my pee into it, and I don’t have to remove any clothing to do it. Simple! It saves queuing outside women’s toilets at large public events and eliminates having to hover over a grotty WC. Just curious, but how is this urinal etiquette meant to apply when a woman walks into the men’s (that’s got ya thinking hasn’t it?), or does it just throw the whole system to the wall, so to speak?

This is a good, well thought out article on peeing etiquette. Same goes for the ladies restroom. Don’t go into a stall next to an occupied one when the other 5 are VACANT! Bloody hell and holy mary urinal! I’d like one.

Excellent article, which provides timely tips for children who are about to be able to use urinals (like, tall enough), and those who have been flouting the rules for years (from peeing on the sides of buildings, to trying to deal with “stadium bladder” at half-time, or between periods).

Since we have (finally) this open forum, please elaborate on the use of the “Turkish toilet.” For those unfamilar with these devices, they comprise a hole in the floor with treadles either side. You either stand on the treadles and pee, or squat backwards somehow, aim your bum at the hole and defecate.

Since most of these things appear in Europe, toilet paper is either optional, or available at extra cost from some crone guarding the door (four squares for 20 centimes).

Flushing involves getting your feet off the treadles, and pulling a chain connected to an overhead tank. Then you step smartly back so as to avoid getting your shoes wet.

Questions arise, like:

1) What happens when you have diarrhea? Do you just end up with a brown stain on the back of your waistband?

2) What do old people do who have arthritis in their knees?

3) Is it better just to hold it in until you find a “real” toilet?

All of these questions should be explored, and answered (hopefully) for the convenience of North Americans and Brits.

[...] allow for breathing room between machines. This is kind of like urinal etiquette (Urinal Etiquette), but not as awkward. Now keep in mind that this really only applies to when there are many open [...]
