I've been wanting to ask this question for quite some time
But I've been, well afraid to bring up the subject. So here goes.
Before I begin, I am intending this to be a serious subject. For those of you who must respond with humor, please keep it clean.
Since I've been wearing kilts, which is less than a year now, I have had the most unpleasant experience, while relieving myself, of back splash. I've tried variations of angle, distance, and everything else I can think of to eliminate this rather annoying problem. Has anyone else experierenced this? What do you do to avoid the problem? So far, a wet wipe has been my best friend.
Kinda makes me wonder what my blue jeans look like tho. Ugh.
Should the moderators deem this inappropriate, I fully understand.

I would think that number one could apply also to the tutorial... It's safe and east

With backsplash, I assume you're referring to while using a urinal...
...I've had similar problems, of course. I found the best solution was not to aim into the urinal, but to aim to the side wall, so that any splash goes off at an angle to the back, rather than splashing back towards you.

OK, I'll put it all out there for you fellas. If it's a commode, and the seat is clean, I will lift the aprons and sit on it backwards. No splash, no mess, no chance of missing.
There, I've laid myself open to all sorts of charges.

my mom used to make me sit like that when I was little till I learned "control"
I aim to the bottom right or left corner and stand close to the urinal... I know it sounds wierd, but the closer you are the more " vertical" the shot which means you're less likely to get splashback.... think of it like pouring a guinness, the first part of the pour you dont want alot of aggitation right? so you tilt the glass and it "runs down the side"
probably could have used a better analogy but there you have it

The analogy is fine, as Guiness going in and its post processed product is what causes this discussion to need to be heard anyway.

Hey, no judgment here. But I have to say that if I saw this going down in a public facility, I might chuckle a bit.

Urinals are the most disgusting thing unless they are the type that are mounted in the floor. If the choice is available, I use the kids urinal. They are lower so you get a better angle of attack so less backsplash. If no kids urinal, I use a toilet and aim at the back wall just below the rim or flush the toilet and shoot straight into the vortex. If that's not an option I go find a tree . ONLY AS A LAST RESORT will I ever choose to use a wall-mounted adult urinal (and even then I will stand 5' back and use indirect fire ). Nasty, filthy most impractical device known to man.

One can also go into a stall and sit normally. If men have the right to wear kilts then we also have the right to relieve ourselves sitting down if we chose. Even if its only #1. I've paid a lot of money for my kilts...like to protect them from splatter.
