    Everyone who wants to avoid urinary incontinence issues should do pelvic floor exercises. I don’t see it spoken about for men as much as women (women are advised to do this during and after pregnancy especially), but everyone can benefit from it.

    To identify the feeling of contracting your pelvic floor muscles, try stopping peeing when you’re mid stream (though this is just to help you identify them — you shouldn’t regularly practice this way, as it can lead to UTIs).

    The way to practice is to squeeze your pelvic floor muscles, trying not to pull your tummy in (or to squeeze your glutes). Hold this for two seconds, then relax. Repeat 10 times. Doing this daily is advised, and over time, you can increase the amount of time you hold the squeeze for to up to 10 seconds. Try to breathe normally while you do this exercise.

    In addition to being the best way to prevent urinary incontinence, it can also help with sexual performance too. You can practice basically any time. I often find myself practicing while I’m in traffic, because it’s something to help fill the time.

    Huh? I’m well near retirement and it’s just pee until it stops, a few drops, that’s it.

    I got advice from Reddit one day that the best trick is to quickly, lightly pull your testicles up a little bit and the drops come flying out.

    Works but you still have only slight control as to where those drops are going.

    Uh…yeah because why would shaking it do anything? You have to relax your bladder, and squeeze like an udder. Do people not know how were constructed, or what?

      False. There is a U bend between the bladder and the end. Nothing on the bladder end will fix anything. The residual in the pipe gets squeezed out when walking.

      I’m going to wake people up to an uncomfortable truth. You already wear diapers. That’s what underwear is. Diapers used to be reusable and washable. We just don’t like to perceive it that way. We lie to ourselves about what underwear is for. And underwear is why pants last forever and shirts don’t. Call me weird but I stopped having this problem when I swallowed my pride and accepted this fact, and realized not all underwear is doing the job we don’t want to admit it’s for very well.

      Wear double underwear. One absorbent, one slick. Same properties as a diaper.

      So woah dude, you’re wearing an actual diaper shamelessly then? Yeah. We all are. You are too. The difference is mine works.

      Other benefit. Because the thing keeping your pants fresh is actually working, now your pants really last forever.

    I couldn’t figure this one out. It’s just a drop out two, and sometimes not even that. I thought he leaned against the wet sink.

    that’s why the advice goes to pull up on it as you pull your pants up so that the drips will be minimized

    Use toilet paper or water to clean yourself and sit down to pee. This is gross when men do this and wonder why they never get any female attention. Wear a diaper if you’re too simple to clean yourself properly.

    A year or two ago, I was having a wee and was thinking about how women dry with TP and us men are just degenerates that shake it around. I jokingly thought about creating a “wankerchief” that guys could keep around and calling it a “Peter Patter”.

    It definitely made me giggle far too much. It’s a disgusting premise to carry around a piss covered rag, but the names I thought were on point.

      When I’m at home I always wipe after pissing. While I’d take a pass on the piss rag in my pocket idea, the name still could apply to men’s underwear. After all, our underwear is soaking up that unwiped piss already.

        Seriously? After I’m done at a urinal, I press the remaining urine out of my urethra and shake it off. There shouldn’t be any stray drops if you’re doing it properly.

          Next time you get the opportunity, shake it, milk it, gooch press etc. Then take a single sheet of paper and press it flush against your pee hole. You’ll still notice a small drop that would have otherwise gone in your underwear. That’s why I always use a toilet if I’m able to. And urinals are gross, there’s always splashback even if you can’t see it.

          (No shade at you specifically btw, I didn’t downvote you)

          Capillary action “pulls” the actual last drop out when your tip touches your underwear.

          No amount of squeezing or pulling can 100%.

          I do it at home. It’s harder in public urinals because I forget to grab a sheet from the dispenser first. If there’s no one else in the restroom, I hold the band of my boxers open to avoid contact and waddle to the sink area to grab a sheet to wipe with. Bringing my own TP roll in my bag solves this issue though.

        Most guys don’t wipe after peeing, yes. I do, because the thought of doing it with my underwear disgusts me, but uh… yeah I guess it just doesn’t occur to most guys. Kinda like washing your hands before you touch your penis.

      I wanna say this was a thing on “the league”? I’m not sure what show it was on, but it definitely was and if my memory is right, it was the league.

      I will say two things:

      1. Just do a little push on your taint and the extra dripple comes right out.
      2. Barring that, you have to just wrap your entire dingy in a tissue or toilet paper to absorb the liquid over the next few hours. Like a lazy male tampon.

        That “little push” never works 100% reliably, capillary action from your underwear fabric will pull more out.

        Men are so fragile they’ll jump through a million hoops just to avoid peeing “like a girl”…

          It has nothing to do with “peeing like a girl” and more just the efficiency of things.

          A little drop is nothing in your underwear that you change every day anyway. No need to also waste paper on it.

      Some new words just burn themselves into your brain, and this is one of those cases. I didn’t need the word “wankerchief” stuck in my head, but now it is, and I keep giggling at odd times. Thanks a bunch.

      Ya exactly. I make sure to always do a quick taint massage after peeing at the urinal. It really only takes a minute or so and then you shake.

      I go for more of the cow-milking squeeze and pull, to coax that last drop out into the appropriate location (a/k/a not my pants).
