Urinals???

[bangkok kilt]

Ok, when I was out in my kilt for the first time I realized I had a 'difficult' decision to make that I had not anticipated when I walked into the restroom: Urinal vs. Stall?

So what's the consensus out there? I went for the stall to avoid any embarrassment (no pun intended). I'm really pretty baffled on this one.

I usually use the urinal. The kilt offers plenty of privacy if you need it, and I've had no problems thusfar.

Use the stall if you are wearing a particularly elaborate kilt outfit ( lots of belts, swords, long hair sporran, etc) but otherwise a urinal still works as it should.

just don't lift your sporran too high.

This is one of several reasons that putting your sporran strap or chain through the belt loops is a bad idea - just slide the sporran off to one side, and lift the apron out of the way. If the sporran strap is belt-looped, you can't do that so easily.

Finish up, slide it back over, wash hands.

Now, for a difficult time, figure out how to use a Porta-Potty in a belted plaid.

I guess it all depends what you have to do? For numero uno, I prefer the urinal. Of course I like the expression on the other people's faces at the ease of use the kilt provides. I am usually our of the loo while they are still trying to not zip up sensitive parts of their anatomy.

I just step up to the urinal, hike up the front of my kilt and take care of business. If someone is embarrassed I put that under the heading of "their problem". It's a restroom after all.

I like the look though on peoples faces when they walk in and first see a "skirt" and then they look up and see a guys face or back of his head, then they look down at the "skirt" again and once more back up, then quickly turn their head like they never noticed!

I probably should not say this, but will any way, just don't visualize it too hard. When I am at a urinal or at home standing by the toilet, and I lift up my Mocker or Survival at the front, and for me it seems to spread out to the sides as I first lift the left apron side and then the next layer, and it reminds me of that big lizard (comodo dragon I think) that puffs up its face sides to scare away its predators. I always think of that.

DALE.

I always use the urinal as if I had pants on. I just walk up, lift, do my business, drop, then wash hands. The only difference for me is that, if wearing pants is "...drop zipper, do my business, lift zipper..."

sooo wrong. good thing kilts have no zippers to get anything stuck in.

I will agree that a kilt seems to scare away just about any would-be predators. Ever notice when you are talking to a woman, would-be competition disappears?

I always use a stall. The old waterworks can take a minute or so to start flowing and I'd be nervous that the kilt would attract the unwanted attention of a homosexual who would then take encouragement by the length of time I was standing at the urinal.
