Years and years ago when I was but barely a boy and the internet wasn't yet full of porn, I stumbled across a web site which taught women how to pee standing up (without any paraphernalia). Many a time I've repeated the information I learned to an eager audience only to have to tell them that I had absolutely no memory of where the web site was anymore. Fortunately a moments inspiration, and the Wayback Machine, have come to my rescue:

Finger-assist method

  1. Wash or wipe your hands clean with a moist towelette.
  2. Adjust clothing. Pants should be pulled down in front a few inches. Skirts should be lifted. Underwear should be pulled down at the waistband or move the fabric at the crotch to one side.
  3. Wipe your labia area clean.
  4. Using either hand, make a "V" with your first and second finger and spread the inside of your labia minora (the INNER lips). Beginners may want to try using the fingers from both hands for better control.
  5. Lift to the desired angle, then pee. (If you don't spread and lift, it could run down your leg.)
  6. Wipe your labia if necessary.
  7. Wash your hands and you're done!

I do it facing, and it works fine now that I know the posture (nothing extreme). I don't make any kind of mess, and don't even have to undress as much as to sit down.

I'm starting to think women have been kept in the dark about this for a reason. Maybe Oliver Stone will do a movie...

And of course there's much much more at the no longer original, yet still preserved(!), site ...
