Peeing outside has been for men for so long but people who have vulvas are restricted to do this because it’s not safe and doesn’t quite go with societal norms.

Tips For Outdoor Peeing You Should Know
Peeing outside isn’t unhygienic if properly performed. It’s not a socially acceptable practice. Discretion and common sense are important if you think it is socially okay to pee in front of people. So, how to safely and hygienically pee outdoors? Here are some tips on outdoor peeing you can follow next time you pee outside:
1. Find the Right Spot
The primary and most important task is to find a perfect spot for you to pee. Your pee time might be a 10-second thing but you still should look for an isolated spot and land where you can keep your foot steady. Balance is important when you are peeing in rocky terrain. You need to squat your booty, so find a place where you can easily do it without you falling on your back or something pricking your butt.

3. If you’re Squatting, Squat as Low as Possible
For the sake of being as steady and safe as possible, make sure you squat as low as you can. This will also help the pee to hit the ground rather than your ankles and feet.
4. Use a Tree to Balance Yourself
If you think you can’t balance yourself in a squat position, take help from nature. Find a tree to settle on, squat down and then pee as much as you want. Make sure to check if the tree is not poisonous or has insects.
5. Cleaning Up
Hygiene is important when you are travelling or it gets quite discomforting down there. So, for cleaning up make sure to bring a few things with you like panty liners can help you keep your undies and your vagina clean and well. So, invest in that! Squirt some water after peeing to get clean and dry it up afterwards to keep the moisture away, or it can lead to a foul smell.
6. Maintain Modesty
And the last and most important one, modesty and caution are important while you pee. You may not find a private area where you can pee peacefully outdoors and end up exposing yourself. So, make sure not to be blatantly exposed. Ask a friend to accompany you. You can ask them to look away while holding your paraphernalia, and you can return the courtesy too.
This was all about outdoor peeing for people with a vagina. We know, it can be hard peeing outside when you’ve never practiced it before but do not hold it in, dehydrate yourself or stress yourself. If nature calls, you should get it done. Break those societal barriers that say women shouldn’t pee outdoors.
