How do I teach my son to pee standing up? He's 6, and absolutely refuses to pee standing up, I think because when we were first training him he had a couple of "accidents" and got some on himself. He's getting ready to go into the first grade and I don't want him to be teased for always sitting, and besides that it makes it difficult when we go places and all they have is a urinal in the men's restroom and the stalls are full. My husband has tried to teach him but he's scared to try. Help! | My son is 5, and we have the EXACT same problem.
You are no alone.
I'm hoping he'll decide on his own that he wants to try. | At what age do you teach little boys to pee standing up? We've started potty training and right now we're teaching my son to sit down and pee. At what age do you teach little boys to pee standing up? Or, can you do it from the start? All experiences/input welcome!
Thanks! | I really think it all depends on the guy. Hayden is nearly 2 and ahalf and has been potty trained for months now and he is still going sitting down. He shows no interest in standing up, even though he sees daddy do it.
JB (my hubby) has a younger brother who is 5 (yes, Hayden's unlce is 5 years old!) and he still sits down to go and has no interest in standing yet. He sees the other guys, age 7 and 9 standing up to pee.
I guess whenever it happens, it happens! | Why does my male cat pee standing up? My cat who is a little less then a year old pees standing up, and his pee shoots out horizontally. He just started doing this a couple of months ago, where he is sleeping and out of nowhere he wakes up starts crying, and goes looks for a wall or something directly behind him to pee on. When he was younger he would pee normally by crouching. Is this normal? What should I do to prevent him form peeing on the bottom of my sofas? | He's spraying - it's something cats do to mark their territory, they use urine as scent marks for other animals.
Male cats are more likely to do this than female cats, and unneutered toms are the most likely to do it. It's a perfectly normal thing.
If your cat isn't neutered, please get this done. Even if you never let him outside, he'll want to go outside to find a mate and he may oneday succeed and then you're unlikely to see him again - unneutered male cats will roam far and wide searching for a mate i.e. adding to the stray/unwanted kittens of the world. Also, if he's not neutered, doesn't his urine just REEK by now? If not, it soon will!!
Chalice | Is it better for women to pee standing at public toilets? Why have to sit on dirty public toilets.
Is it not possible to pee standing (for women) ? | | I hate when ppl. squat over the toilet. They're the ones that usually pee all over the seat and leave it a mess for everyone else. Just put down some paper... or better yet, some places are now offering wipes in the bathrooms to wipe the seat down first. I hope more places do this. | Why do women think they can pee standing up? Sometimes you go into women's restroom and find the toilet seat wet! I do not think it's boys/men going in there to pee? I think that there are women who pee standing UP! Am I right? | Lynn and many others gave great answers. Many women hover over the toilet (squat above it with some space between the toilet and their flesh) so that they can avoid putting their bare skin of a possibly germ infested surface. This is prob. wise. I was in a rush once and I looked, but I swear I saw nothing....and yep. I sat in someone's urine. I washed myself using the soap from the hand dispenser, thick paper towels and water from the sink. Thankfully, it was a one person bathroom. On top of hovering, as Lynn said, little boys also often use these toilets, and maybe mommy didn't take the time to clean up after him. If some women won't wipe their own urine off the seats after they urinate on it while hovering, why would we expect them all to clean up their guy's urine? And as someone else said, sometimes women drip when they're standing up to wipe themselves.
Anyway, women can urinate standing up. I have seen the devices, but I think those are silly. Some women are great at arching or aiming their own stream. As for me, I am not a master at controlling my urine stream, but during a stay in the hospital, I had a line put in my leg, and the doctor told me that I shouldn't be getting up and down too much with it because it could mess up the line and they'd have to take it out and put one in my neck. For that reason, I decided to pee standing up. I straddled the toilet, standing (not hovering) and I might have BARELY squatted, but I was mostly upright, and believe this or not, I didn't urinate all over the rim. Depending on your spray's natural strength and direction, your control, your position, the urgency (due to speed for one thing), and your thoughtfullness and effort, some women can actually do a decent job peeing standing up.
And to the person who said men don't normally urinate on the rim like that- little boys do a lot, of course, but actually, I've found a lot of men do, also. I've been in several houses with male occupants, where males left urine on the rim. And that one time when I sat in urine that I described up top....well, it was a women's bathroom, but I think this guy had just went in there. I am not positive, though. And if he did, I don't know if it was a mistake or if the guy's restroom was occupied. But yeah, he could have been the rim pi**er for all I know. It's one thing to accidentally pee on the rim, it's another to leave it there, unless you can't bend over for medical reasons. This goes for men and women. | How can a girl pee standing up like a boy? I really want to know how to pee standing up! Please answer! I am no a creep! | Girls can pee standing up, and if they get good enough at the technique, they can pee through the fly of pants.
The websites in the sources below (not pornographic, BTW) explain in detail how women can pee standing. I'll try to sum up the instructions here as well.
A girl can use her fingers, in an inverted "V", to spread her labia apart. This means both inner AND outer labia. Doing this clears the way for a solid pee stream to emerge, so that it doesn't run down the leg or spray everywhere. She often also needs to lift up on her "girl parts", to direct the stream forward instead of downward. Spreading the legs (to help "open things") and arching the body forward also aids in effective performance.
After she pees, she may need to stop rather abruptly in order not to dribble with the last bit of pee; such muscle control is aided through the performance of Kegel exercises. Alternatively, she may simply need to hold some toilet paper underneath to catch the dribble. But if the correct control is gained, she may be able to avoid wiping altogether, simply because there may be no mess or dribble involved.
It is recommended that this be practiced in the shower, where messes made during practice will not matter. While thus practicing, a girl can get used to exactly where to place her fingers and where exactly to pull to get the stream going correctly. I have read many stories of women practicing doing this until they got very good at it - so good that, with practice, they can go through the fly!
So as you can see, it is a myth that girls can't pee standing. Nor is there any reason to think it's "sick" or "perverse", as long as no sexual aspects are artificially read into it. Spreading the labia is no more "strange" than a boy holding his penis to aim when he pees; both are analogous to one another, as both allow proper aim in the different sexes.
I should mention in passing that IMO letting any girl know about this technique is doing her a service. I think every woman should know how to pee standing. For one thing, if they do it correctly, they will not have to remove much clothing if they need to pee in the wild or in a relatively non-private setting. They may also be able to get done quicker (if female urinals existed, a lot of problems involving enormous female restroom queues would be removed), and won't feel the need to either sit on or uncomfortably hover above filthy public toilet seats. | Should we teach our two year old to pee standing up? My husband thinks we should teach him how from the start but I just want to teach him how to recognize that he needs to use the potty and hold it until he gets there. Then after we have mastered that my husband can show him that he can pee standing up. | I would teach him to sit down to pee first for two main reasons.
1. His aim won't be very good at first (won't even be able to reach likely).
2. He could get confused about when to stand and when to sit. Some boys try to poop standing up because they don't get it.
Once he gets it figured out and he is tall enough, I'd teach him to stand to pee then. Make sure you teach him though and don't just assume he'll pick it up. He might, but he might think it's not okay to stand at home to pee. | 2 year old son trying to pee while standing? I just wanted to know if this is too early to teach him. One day he decided he didnt want to sit on his potty anymore that he wanted to stand and hold it while, he pees, like his daddy. I dontknow if i should hold off on that, because he really wants to pee standing up and he doesnt like us to show him how to aim, he insists on teaching himself. | | Good for him. It's not that hard to aim. I'm sure he'll pick it up. Hell, I'm 37 and I still miss 10% of the time. | Why don't women look where they sit before they sit, or at least learn to pee standing up? I heard a comment about a woman who said, we don't want to drown our pretty butts in the toilet. Like if they never look where they sit. Also, why don't women pee standing up? | | Yes, maybe they could learn to pee standing up. You're hired as the first teacher. | How Can Females Pee Standing Up? I go camping frequently and am too cheap to invest in a P-Mate type device. I camp with all males and they are interested also in knowing how women can pee standing. And I intend to show them all just as soon as I figure out how! Haha, it's almost a bet amongst us, they don't think I can do it successfully without making a mess of myself, and I have been practicing at home, but it just doesn't work out.
Tips please! | Listen, I go camping a lot.
This is what you do: pull your pants down, or your skirt up, while standing put your butt on a tree any size will do. bend your knees a little and bend forward and GO
I usually use small trees, because if your urine hits the tree it will splash back on you.
And believe me, it might sound hard but its mondo easy.
Also remembered this (its going to get a little graphic) I've done this before so I know it works.
with panties/pants/skirt out of the way, standing up arch your back a little, make like a cup with your hand and grab your crotch. Get a good grab and pull up, this should let you 'kinda' aim your urethra and where you pee.
You wouldn't be able to write your name in the snow, but at least you wont get pee on your legs or clothing. |
