Avoid trekking into a large bush; plants often house insects and spiders.

If you absolutely must, try to find a place behind lots of bushes where no one can see you. Another options is against a wall in an alleyway or behind a building. For safety reasons, try to have a friend with you, especially if it is nighttime, or if you are in an unsafe area.

If you are wearing a skirt or a dress, pull it up by the hem until it is at waist level. If the dress or skirt is full, with a lot of fabric, bunch everything up in front of you. There should be no fabric hanging behind you. If you are wearing shorts or pants, unbutton and unzip them first. Then, pull them half-way down your thighs. Do not let them go past your knees, or they may get wet. [3] X Research source It may also be a good idea to roll up the cuffs of long pants.

If you are having trouble keeping your balance, try to touch the ground in front of you with one hand. Use your hand to hold shorts or pants close to your knees. [4] X Research source This will help keep them from getting wet.

When you are done urinating, get off your makeshift toilet. Try to avoid the puddle.

This one is great for parents/guardians taking recently potty trained children on outdoor adventures, as they can be in a similar position as they would be on the toilet.

If you are using baby wipes, tissue, or toilet paper, do not leave it on the ground. Put the used paper into a plastic bag, and throw the bag away once you find a trashcan. If you are using baby wipes, or any other wet wipe, try to find one that does not contain alcohol. Too much alcohol can kill both the good and bad bacteria. This could lead to urinary tract infections. [7] X Research source A “pee rag” is a handkerchief or bandana. You wipe yourself with it, then hang it out in the sun to dry. [8] X Research source The sun’s ultra-violet rays will help disinfect the rag. [9] X Research source Keep in mind, however, that if you are in a damp, rainy, or humid area, you will need to rinse the rag often or it will begin to smell. If you don’t have anything to wipe with, wait a while before pulling up your pants so the excess pee will drip off. Your underwear might still get a bit wet, so change it as soon as you can.

Female urination devices may also be called: FUD, female urination aid, stand-to-pee device, or portable urination device. [10] X Research source
