women peeing outdoors

You want to cover it so next person doesn't walk into it and if animals uncover it it might be in dry or decomposing stage.

I do a lot of all day hunting, so I had to find a solution to this problem pretty quickly. And I wear 3-4 layers because I'm a cold little baby, which adds difficulty. My hubs thought he figured it out with the SheeWee, but I couldn't get a good seal through all of the clothes (if you didn't know, you have to press firmly in a few places that are hard to reach) and the projection didn't reach all the way through the layers of clothing. So "she" was OUT.

My method includes a full *trou-drop* because of all the hunting layers, so this won't work if you need to take a quick one, or don't have a lot of privacy.

1. Find a tree on a slight incline. Make sure it is a smaller tree so you can get a good grip in step 3. Align yourself on the lower side of the tree.
2. Drop appropriate trou. I have bibs so I gather it all in the bibs and hold the suspenders so I don't accidentally pee on them.
3. Grab ahold of tree. If you have bibs, keep ahold of them. This will gather all your pants very far in front of you. Place feet as faaaaar up on either side of the tree as you can.
4. Get the deepest squat possible. The lower, the less splash. I try to kiss the ground, but you do not have to.
5. Time to POP and LOCK. Stick your badonkadonk out like you are twerking. Use your tree to hold yourself, so you aren't putting too much strain on the knees. If you are as low as I like to go for my squats, you hardly need to twerk, but if you can't squat very far you should try to pop farther. This is the trick that will cause the stream to change direction, so it is important. Pelvic rotation to the posterior is what we are looking for here, ladies!
6. GENTLY begin. If the direction isn't what you are going for, make adjustments now before you really get going. This is also where I always realize I forgot TP so I start to panic search for a leaf that isn't crumbling into dust so if you want to do that too, feel free.
7. Wiggle with it.
8. Congratulations! You peed! Spend 20 minutes putting all of your pants back on because the deer ALWAYS come out when you are peeing so you'd better not do this without carefully scanning the entire time.

I pee outside constantly. Ever since I got Lyme disease I do it even more. But since I was a kid squatting to pee was never an issue for me. Funny to find a blog about this subject. Lol

Please ignore my "report". I accidentally clicked on it while I was trying to find what each button does. I follow a female physician on Youtube and she recently did an episode on women who pee in the shower. She said anatomically women are not built to pee in an upright position and that it damages the pelvic floor. That will result in urinary incontinence. Just thought I would add this little medical oddity to the thread. Thank you for all the great advice I've found reading on this forum.

I read through this thread and was surprised to see a dress only addressed in one post on page 5. I see the recommended device to use (for women) and a question came to mind:

How much does choice of clothes factor in here?

When I was in the military and deployed to the middle east, everyone (men and women) wore what I would call a mid (well below knee) to long (ankle) length dress. That facilitated squatting as needed by both sexes. The men did not pull their clothing up to pee upright but squatted down and the dress covered everything on both sexes. Both men and women peed under the dresses and did not lift part and pee out away from them.

It all seemed really natural to everyone.

That is until the indigenous military was issued dessert camo pants and blouses. The men still squatted down to pee but it was quite a spectacle to observe men squatting to pee while wearing pants. You can probably picture the potential issues.

So my observation on reading what I have on this thread is that if modesty is the concern or reason for shyness on peeing outdoors, A dress for a bottom may remedy some of that concern. I am currently working with the ladies in our household on this and humanure practices. Our pee and poop are too valuable to flush away, in my opinion.

Hi Everyone! So glad to see this subject being openly discussed. I've spent tons of time living outside, so I've done lots of peeing out in the open. Here are a few things that have actually made the experience easier and cleaner. First, if you're not comfortable with a deep squat, try arranging rocks or tree branches under your heels. Raising your heels makes the squat less challenging. Second, always squat with your back to the wind. Third, don't pee on hard, flat ground because the pee will just splash all over your shoes. Instead, I'd recommend peeing downhill or digging a shallow trough with a stick or a shovel and peeing into that. I've also found that if you pee into a tuft of grass or other short plant, the foliage prevents splashing in all directions. Hope this helps! Sarah

You can also create “pee spots” around the garden and in other areas that have good privacy and soak up the pee in a useful way. A simple kind of pee spot is to dig a small trench, and fill it with brown material lkke sawdust, wood chips, chaff or leaves, so that one can place a foot on either side and have no splashing. One might plant fertility loving plants around it like comfrey or willows that will soak up the extra urine. You can even submit BBs for this: https://permies.com/wiki/156716/pep-greywater-willow-feeders/Create-Level-Pee-Spot-PEP

Hmm, bamboo might be nice too if you live somewhere they grow evergreen. (Here they mostly die to the ground like regular grass!)

I am overall in favor of squatting for returning one’s gift to the earth because it keeps one mobile, it is easier to make composting squat toilets than sitting toilets (two stones and a bucket at minimum!) and there is no touching of the toilet seat (less gross). It also seems more efficient to me.

My solution to not filling up my composting toilets too quickly but presenting options for people with various comfort levels is thus:

If you prefer the indoor experience, fine. That's what the composting toilet is for. Great for cold nights when you don't have time to put on a coat and boots while doing the peepee dance.

For those a little more adventurous, I have a semi-enclosed (and overhead covered against rain) private spot just outside (akin to an outhouse without a pit or floor) where I have a 5 gallon bucket with the bottom cut out, and a "portable loo" style seat+lid attached. It is very easy for people accustomed to using toilets to sit on this, let loose, and then use tp as needed. The one caveat is this is for clear fluids only, and used tp should be placed in the receptacle next to the toilet to be burned or composed later. If you accidentally drop the tp into the bucket, it's very easy to retrieve since the liquid has usually soaked into the ground by this point.

This "outhouse" can be moved as needed when a less saturated spot is desirable.

I plan to upgrade this with a urine diverter to a jug that can be dumped onto my humanure pile or diluted for fertilizer, that way the seat can stay put but the liquid gold can go where it's most useful.
