Question

How can I get the initial flow of urine going when I have to go in front of a nurse at a clinic every month for a urinalysis?

Community Answer

Maybe you don't. Maybe they will let you pee in something and give it to her. If not, give it time. Once you do it enough, you will eventually get used to it. Just be sure to drink a lot so you really have to go.

Question

How can I stop worrying about having to pee in front of a nurse for a urine test?

Hannah

Community Answer

For urine tests, doctors and nurses usually allow you to do your business in private. They might leave the room or ask you to go to the restroom to do it. If they do watch you, pretend the doctors and nurses are not there, and use this article to be comfortable while doing it.

Question

What should I do if I'm talking with someone before I go pee, and then when we go to the bathroom, they want to continue talking while going pee, when I just want to do it in private?

Community Answer

Going to the bathroom while people are listening can sometimes be nerve wracking. However, everybody pees, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about. If it's really an issue, just explain that you'd prefer to go to the bathroom alone.

Question

I feel nervous about people seeing my vagina when I pee in front of them what can I do?

Community Answer

If you're wearing a skirt, you can cover yourself with that while peeing (just make sure you're holding the skirt away from your urine stream). Otherwise, cover yourself with your hand, or just go behind a tree/turn around so that you're not facing the people you are with.

Question

How can I stop people from judging my tiny penis in the urinals?

Community Answer

Just laugh or shrug it off. You could also come up with a clever retort beforehand and keep it handy. You can't stop people from judging you, but you can determine how you respond to it.

Question

I am scared of urinating in front of others because one day I went to urinate in a urinal at school when I had an erection, and another boy noticed it and made fun of me. What should I do?

Tom De Backer

Top Answerer

Protect your own privacy; no one should be looking at your penis while you're urinating. You are well within your rights to reprimand anyone who does that for violating your privacy. Men usually keep at least one empty urinal between them.

Question

Every time I need to pee in a urinal I get so nervous that I can't pee. What should I do?

Community Answer

Use a stall and pee comfortably. Stalls provide more intimacy than the urinals. People won't judge you anyway.

Just get as close as possible to the urinal. Make sure you point down to avoid splashing.

Question

What if I'm embarrassed of my private parts while peeing?

Breathe Johnson

Community Answer

Just remember that urinating is just a natural part of life. Everyone does it. Besides, there's no reason to be embarrassed of any part of your body, including your private parts.
