Peeing standing up - yea!

Another milestone, another rave. This is probably only of interest to men.

I've recently been able to start peeing without pooping. It's nice to not have to sit every time.

I suppose it's different for women, because if they sit I guess they just relax everything and poop as long as they're on the pot anyway.


Things are never so bad that they can't get worse.

Good news! It took me several weeks after takedown before I was able to pee standing up!

Harlan - You are finding great milestones! I was also pleased when I could finally urinate without pooping all the time, and I'm a woman. Thanks for pointing out that's progress.

Guess I've trained myself to "empty my pouch" every time I urinate. No problem since I'm female EXCEPT when I need to give a urine specimen! I just can't urinate without releasing something from my pouch...even if I just did so. Any ideas short of self catheterizing...which I can do but it is such a bother!

That's kind of what I meant about it being an accomplishment for guys to go standing up (I know, it's not fair) If I sit down to pee there's no way I won't do some pouch emtying at the same time.
