Of course they can. Whether or not it’s messy depends on how careful they are.

Sure it can happen, but it could get messy. Much easier to just sit lol. Next up; can people take a dump while standing up lol. XD

“Messy” I just do not understand why it gets messy! Why can’t girls point it at a certain direction?

The real question is can men pee while standing up? There’s a reason men’s bathrooms stink. They’re pretty messy too.

Short answer, yes.

Your particular physiology can make or break this, though. And there is a particular technique to it which you have to get the hang of.

Alternately, you can buy these cone-shaped thingers that facilitate peeing while standing up.

@charlie23 Ahhh well maybe because we can’t pee through long (or short) procreational devices like guys can.
But of course it’s possible, just stand up and pee. Although you will be peeing on yourself unless your skilled enough to pee in a certain direction.

so girls need to practice to pee standing up eh? but i get that it’s much easier to pee sitting. thanks everyone!

@MissAnthrope What does it take? Curious minds need to know. Especially curious minds who are jealous that guys can pee standing up. Knowing how to do this would make camping a much better experience. I could use those cone things, but then I couldn’t brag. ;)

@MissAnthrope I’m totally serious, by the way. I could start practicing tonight! :D

I had to do some digging for it, as the original site seems to not be in existence anymore.

What about the cone shaped thingers?

@everephebe http://web.archive.org/web/20030212212558/www.travelmateinfo.com/ They also have other products on the market now. Google it and stuff will show up.

I’m totally trying it without the device as soon as I have to pee. Which will be shortly. Hopefully I don’t pee on my hands. And maybe I should have a mop nearby….

I’m so amused right now. But also so genuine. Hahaha! :D

There was a period in the 90’s where this idea (the assister thingies so women could pee standing up) was really huge. I remember there being at least 3 different companies making different kinds. I’m amused to see there are several more, newer, companies. They also get the prize for funniest product names ever.

I don’t normally have a hyperactive bladder, but you put me in a car and it’s ridiculous. As someone who has to pee every hour on road trips, it is a huge drag to have to stop to pee. I figure I lose 10–15 minutes every time I have to stop. My ex perfected this peeing-in-a-cup-while-driving move, but it doesn’t work that well with my physiology. I would love to have a wang and just be able to put it in a cup and pee and not worry about getting it everywhere.

Peeing standing up can be really handy. You don’t realize how handy because that’s how you do it all the time. But women know, hence all these pee funnels.

Think of it like a hose nozzle. Only the sharp stream setting is going to be really good for standing up. Most guys have jet, but that does get quite a lot of splatter and just isn’t as clean. Now think about us girls set on shower, mist, fan, soaker, cone, angle – it’s really just so much easier to sit down.

@MissAnthrope I have a friend who has one of those for when she goes to Coachella. She’s got some thing where she’s afraid to squat for a piss but not to take a dump. So much maintenance.

charlie23's avatar

@DrasticDreamer do let us know how it goes (whether it goes through cone or your fingers) :)

DrasticDreamer's avatar

@charlie23 Well, I did it. And it went pretty damn well, actually. Toward the end I lost a little power, so there was a wee bit of trickle… But practice makes perfect! I can’t believe I’m Fluthering about this.

everephebe's avatar

I think it’s all about building those PC muscles.

DrasticDreamer's avatar

@everephebe I can cut off my pee-stream at the beginning, middle or end. It actually felt more like I just ran out of pee. So I think the trick is probably starting off with less power, letting it build more and then pushing it out at the very end.

No one knows how amused I am right now. God, this is great. I would actually recommend this for women who camp, though. I just get tired of having to squat, and possibly get pee all over the bottom of my shoes.

charlie23's avatar

@DrasticDreamer that’s great!! So practice makes perfect eh? good good. I don’t understand the power you are talking about now though. :( I have got another question btw. If a gal had to sit and pee, she can just lower her pants and do it. But when using the stuffs like cone or something, does she need to get rid of her pants fully? I’m getting too curious about this!

everephebe's avatar

Sounds like you got it on your first try then. I think there is a secret leaning trick too. You’ll master this in no time. Pat yourself on the back. And demand a raise at work, you go girl!

MissAnthrope's avatar

@DrasticDreamer – That is awesome!! Makes me want to try it. I just am afraid I won’t have as good luck as you and it’ll be a mess.

charlie23's avatar

@MissAnthrope i dunno if this is a good suggestion, but may be you can try it when taking a shower. Then mess or no mess shouldn’t be a problem i guess.

DrasticDreamer's avatar

@MissAnthrope Try sitting down first, and then just practice your aim. :D You’ll see the different directions it goes and how to control it, simply by moving your fingers. Pee doesn’t even get on your fingers, so there’s no need to worry about that, and it’s not like you wouldn’t wash your hands after using the bathroom anyway. Or yeah, you could totally try it in the shower.

charlie23's avatar

@DrasticDreamer thanks for supporting my answer :)

MissAnthrope's avatar

All right, I guess I’ll try that, next shower!

ucme's avatar

Pissing whilst in the handstand pose! Now that i’d like to pee…see :¬)

Seelix's avatar

It’s usually messy because of the way we’re built. There’s no real way to “aim” like there is for men. But yeah, it’s possible to get some sort of control, with or without using your fingers. I’ve tried it in the shower, and have not been able to not pee on myself – there’s just not enough force toward the end, and because we don’t have an appendage, the dripping happens a lot closer to the body.

I knew a girl in high school who was pro at it, though.

diavolobella's avatar

I’ve always been able to pee standing up with no problem and no mess. I don’t know if that makes me special or something. LOL If I stand right up against the toilet with my feet slightly apart and jut my hips forward just enough that I’m aimed at the water, it comes out in a straight stream going down. If you try to straddle the toilet, you are going to splash everywhere. The trick (if you’d consider it a trick) is to keep your legs relatively close together and push your pelvis forward.

I can’t believe I’m answering this or putting this much thought into something I do occasionally when I think the toilet looks iffy
