Urinal technique

You can minimize the splash by adding distance to the shot. And move in as the stream weakens it requires finesse thogh

I just use the cubicles if I'm worried about splash.
Otherwise you can use the urinals that are more like long metallic trench things. Much, much less splash than wall-mounted porcelain ones (unless you're a terrible aim).

My son and I were pretty amazed when we saw these urinals in Oz last year. I've not seen anything like them in the US. That and the Dyson air "blade" hand dryers - perhaps the coolest invention of all time.

As for technique, aim downward to create as low an angle of impact as possible. Any splash will likewise have a low angle of deflection and be caught in the catch basin. Oh, and not waiting until you have to go so bad that the urine has a flow rate equivalent to a fire hose helps reduce splash too.

Or sit down on the throne to take care of business. Better than having to explain away the wet spot on one's trousers.

But this only works on European sit down toilets.

American toilets have a water level so high that the bottom half my thingy gets submerged. Yuckie.

Your worst fears confirmed. There are no jokes it's all really true, the Frenchman's delusions of grandeur notwithstanding, nor sitting. Pass Louis the tripod...

They work as advertised. Feels like you are sticking your hands through a force field. Hands wet, hands in, hands out, hands dry. Amazing. Melbourne's airport had them and I think a museum there as well. My son wanted us to buy one or two for the house. I was seriously considering it.
