How do you deal with all the pee splatter? Or do you piss on the sink? Or are you a dwarf?

Pissing while standing is only ok when a proper urinal is available. Pissing in toilet while standing imparts too much kinetic energy on the pee, causing violent splashing. Yes, even if you aim at an angle. And aim will always falter at the end anyway with decreasing water pressure...

    Normal cleaning of toilet/bathroom areas deal with that kind of thing. It's not like I'm pissing in the kitchen.

    So in other words you regularly have to clean up piss.

    People who sit to pee never have this issue. They never need to clean up piss because it never collects on surfaces.

    Bathrooms should be cleaned regularly anyway, and not everyone is grossed out by pee.

    Sure but there is absolutely no reason to clean your walls unless you’re getting piss on them.

    I prefer not having to wash piss off my walls. Without the piss I have no reason to wash my walls.

    The benefit is obvious.

    People who sit to pee are still splashing the underside of the toilet seat, so there's piss to cleanup for standers as well as sitters.

    You are already cleaning that part anyway as apart of regular toilet cleaning. I’d rather stick to just having to clean that much rather then having to wash your walls and floor from all the piss that’s splashing on them

    Flushing also spreads particles, do you never flush just so you don't have to regularly clean your WC?

    You do realise that's what the lid is for?? You close it and all the partucles end up on it and therefore make it easier to clean.

    Here, do with this information what you want. The lid isn't a 100% airtight seal.

    Clean your damn WC.

    Power of the stream is a factor... As well as aim and your bowl geometry, some just splash more. I have the bladder of a squirrel, and generally splatter no more than a few drops on the toilet seat if I fail to raise it. My bestie will absolutely cover my bathroom in splatter.
