Gentlemen, it is with great displeasure that I must inform you that we’re doing it wrong.

    My bathroom is carpeted. I’ve sat to pee for years, and now default to it everywhere. Plus, fewer issues with drippage.

      My problem is that I drip when I stand up even after I’m “finished”. It feels easier to get every last drop out when I stand up.

      Also, I could never have carpet in my bathroom. That just sounds like a breeding ground for mold and mildew just from the humidity of showering even if you are sitting down to avoid sprinkling droplets of pee everywhere.

        Protip: when you’re done, doesn’t matter sitting or standing, push on your taint. It often helps clear the plumbing and prevents dripping. Was a life changer when I found that trick.

          That does get most of it out but I’m not always into pushing on my taint every time I take a piss so I usually just shake a lot and hope for the best.

            If by push you mean pressing from the base to the tip with two fingers, as if you were doing the scisors animation, that’s faster than wiggling it and it’s way more effective.

        Yeah, it wasn’t my choice. But so far it hasn’t been an issue, and the floor was already fucked up, which the carpet was an attempt to just cover it up. Eventually I’ll probably deal with it, but haven’t had the cash to yet.
