I like to sit down properly when I take a leak and I always line the seat with toilet paper but sometimes I miss a spot and sit in someone else's piss. That happened today. I hate that.
I have this vision of myself standing in a stall trying to puzzle this thing out and then using the wrong end and pissing on myself. There are certain tasks of coordination that no matter how simple are beyond me. Also...fold it up and slip it in your purse!?!
There are different designs, different brands. Most come with some kind of tuckaway feature on the basis that you might be using it on the trail and will need to "pack it out." You pick the kind that makes the most sense for you. They aren't as weird as you might think, and some are reusable, so you can practice to your heart's content at home before taking your new show on the road. Don't knock it 'til you've tried it!
I'm sorry but what about wiping? I'm no fan of the drip-dry approach. Blech. Nice way to feel clammy all day. Regardless of what sort of device you're pissing through, you still don't have a convenient pecker to just shake off.
There's at least one brand that comes in little pure-sized kits that include tissues, just in case you are really in the wild and have no other way to wipe. Most public rest rooms provide toilet paper, and you can flush itas usual. You just don't need to sit on the seat, or straddle it -- which is the source of the pee drips you've encountered.
When I go camping or hiking, I carry those little packets of Kleenex. They biodegrade quickly enough. You just scoop out a little earth to bury them.
I don't know why people insist on posting their obviously private tweets to their flists. If they really need to archive all that crap, they can make it private as opposed to friends or everyone. I have a couple of people on my flist who post tweet dumps almost every day, and it's really annoying.
I don't get those tweet dumps either. I've pretty much filtered out the folks who do that. Nothing against them personally but I'd rather read an actual post, not a bullet-point list of disjointed sound bytes. I do think it would be fun just to tweet the occasional bizarre observation that doesn't merit an LJ post, but I wouldn't bother cross-posting any of them to LJ.
I never feel like I'm getting it all out if I'm squatting. Obviously I squat in a public toilet because there's not enough paper in the world to cover THAT up, but I don't really consider the toilet at work "public" since not that many people use it.
LOL of course I squat! There aren't too many public toilets I'm willing to sit on, paper or not. Frankly there are plenty of public toilets I don't even want to squat over.
Definitely not, at least not that I've ever seen. I recall seeing similar facilities in Germany and the Soviet Union, but that was 20 years ago so I don't know if they still have them.
