Restroom etiquite; lift, or split?

What is the proper way to relieve yourself? Lift both aprons, or split them away to their appropriate side?

I've been splitting. Seems easier.

If there is no need to sit, I lift both aprons. If I need to sit (no pun intended) I usually remove my kilt and hang it up or lay it across my legs. No big deal and it is easy to get back on. I think what works for you is best!

When standing, I lift both aprons. Besides being easier for me, the kilt gives a privacy screen between urinals that don't have barriers.

When sitting, I invariably take the kilt off and hang it on the coat hook on the door, or over the door if there's no hook. I have to gather the back when I'm in a greatkilt (no off-and-on with that sucker!), and I have no desire to do that on a day to day basis.

I used to split, then changed when I considered the "shake" at the end (don't want errant drops on the front).

Standing I lift both aprons, sitting I take the kilt off and hang it on the door.

I've always just lifted both aprons when standing & flipped-up and pulled around when sitting. Quick & easy to do & also works just as well when your out in the middle of nowhere & have to duck behind the bushes.

It's very convenient when hiking. You do not have take your backpack off.

So timely. I was wondering the same thing the other day. I always just pull up both aprons and let fly. I had wondered about splitting them to left and right, but there is a lot of material.

Not to change the subject, but has anyone been appalled by "sprayback"? I know that it must occur with pants, but you would not feel it. In a kilt, any "reflecting" drops are felt on contact. Anybody have any solutions?
