How to Pee Standing Up

1— Getting Ready

Read the pamphlet that came with your device— it can give you more specific tips for your model.

This will be easier if you really need to pee. Choose your favorite beverage!
Choose a location. In the shower means the pressure is off, although you will get back splash from the shower floor. Using the toilet is also a great option, as it triggers the urge to pee by association. And of course, if you have a backyard or access to some wilderness, there will be minimal clean up. Again, if you are peeing on a hard surface, there will be back splash on your legs.
Choose your clothing. When you start to learn, it’s easiest to wear minimal clothing or be naked from the waist down. You can just focus on the mechanics of the act. However, once you get the hang of it, you’ll want to start practicing in the clothing you plan to wear, because that’s a learning curve too. See the section on Clothing.
If you’re going to spend all day doing this (and why not?), you might want to get little incontinence liners for your underwear. The squeegee method works well, but for a day of practice, some help with the dampness is nice.

Position your device per the instructions it came with. Most devices require gentle pressure on the back end, where it should hit at or just before the perineum (or “taint”), but NOT so much pressure that it prevents you peeing at all.
For most models, make sure the front points slightly downward. Remember: you want the pee to run forward and out, not pool in your underwear.
You may be wanting to create a “tight seal,” or press the whole thing against you very firmly. Again, check your device instructions, but I have found applying more pressure to the back than the front is helpful.
It will probably be easiest at first to bend your knees a little and lean slightly forward. Yes, this feels dorky. Once you get the hand of it, it’s easy to adjust and stand up straight.
If you are peeing in a bathroom, you might find it easiest to lean forward with your hand on the wall behind the toilet. In nature you could do this with a tree.
As you pee, keep looking at where you are peeing.
Do not move the STP! Keep your hand steady and the STP firm against your body. If you have to move or want to direct your flow, move your hips.

To wipe, pull the STP away from you across your private area, thus “squeegee-ing” yourself.

To avoid pee spilling onto your hands, tip the STP down and away from you, making sure all the pee runs out. Shake the droplets off away from your body, holding the dry part of the STP.
Be sure to clean your device. See the Cleaning an STP section.
Did it go well? Awesome! Keep doing that. If it didn’t go well, drink some water and try again. You got this!
