    I rented a house in Germany when I lived there for a couple years, and for some reason, the owner decided to put a urinal in one of the bathrooms. I thought it was awesome having my own personal urinal, until I tried to use it while nude one day.

    No matter what angle I peed at, I always felt a light misting of urine sprinkling my legs and feet. Nowhere was safe.

    I realized, we don’t really notice it in public because we’re fully clothed. But use a urinal nude and you realize just how much misty backsplash there is. I don’t use urinals anymore.

      even with the toilet bowl i don’t pee standing up anymore because i can feel drops flying to my feet. i pee sitting down or in the sink or in shower.

      Must’ve been a badly shaped or indirectly positioned urinal. We had a urinal at home since I was 12 or something. Didn’t have this issue. But if yours is messed up, try finding those rubber urinal mats. They dampen the stream.
      Urinals are great; they save water.
