How to stop splashing in the morning

Fastest draw in the bathroom.

The short answer

Sit down and point the stream down into the bowl. Most morning splash comes from standing, aiming at the wrong angle, and hitting the water or porcelain too hard.

Why mornings are the worst

In the morning many men have a full bladder and an erection at the same time. That makes the stream point forward instead of down, so you either lean way over the bowl or miss. Neither is great half awake.

5 ways to cut the splash

1) Sit down. It's the single biggest fix. 2) Aim at the side of the bowl, not the water, at a shallow angle. 3) Get closer to the bowl so the stream travels less distance. 4) Wait a few minutes if you can. 5) Use a tool that does the aiming for you, like a seated urination aid.

What a seated urination aid does

A seated urination aid like the Pee Shooter is a soft silicone funnel with a tail. You sit, the funnel catches the stream, and the tail points it into the bowl. There's no leaning, no aiming and no splash.

Cleaning up

If you do splash, clean around the base of the toilet with an enzyme cleaner. Splash adds up fast, and it's the main source of bathroom odor.
